KELLY, DEPARTMENT BUDGET OFFICER APPROPRIATION ESTIMATE Salaries and expenses, hospital construction services: For salaries and expenses incident to carrying out title VI of the Act, as amended, [$1,381,000] $1,450,000. Senator HILL. All right, we will take up the item on "Salaries and expenses, hospital construction services.' Dr. HOGE. I have a statement here, Mr. Chairman. Senator HILL. All right. Your prepared statement will be made a part of the record at this point, without objection. (The statement referred to follows:) STATEMENT BY CHIEF, DIVISION OF HOSPITAL AND MEDICAL FACILITIES PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE, ON "SALARIES AND EXPENSES, HOSPITAL CONSTRUCTION SERVICES" Mr. Chairman and members of the committee, a request in the amount of $1,450,000 is being submitted under this appropriation for 1958 to cover the technical, operational, and administrative aspects of the hospital and medical facilities survey and construction program. EXPLANATION OF NEED While an increase is proposed over the amount available for salaries and expenses for 1957, no increase in staff is proposed. The increase of $69,000 requested for fiscal year 1958 will provide for mandatory increases, $65,000 for civil service retirement fund contributions, and $4,000 for commissioned officers' social security matching funds. The estimate of $1,450,000 will permit retaining the present minimum central office and field staffs who are specialists in the programing, planning, design, construction, and equipment of hospitals, public health centers, diagnostic and treatment centers, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, and related health facilities. This staff is considered essential to assure the greatest and fullest return on the investment for the Federal funds appropriated. Many mandatory functions must be performed which are not dependent upon the volume of construction projects. These activities include the review and approval of annual revisions and supplements to State plans, development of technical and professional standards, minimum standards of construction, minimum equipment and supply needs, and general information about the program as requested by States, localities, individual sponsors, and others. Time and staff must also be devoted to other requirements of the act such as review and approval of construction programs and schedules of construction applications, architectural plans, specifications and contract documents, surveillance of bid and award procedures, assurance of compliance with minimum wage rate determinations, project inspections, approval of requests for Federal payments and review and reconciliation of final audit reports. 91359-57-37 |
