URGENT NEED FOR HOSPITAL Senator HILL. Then you would say there is an urgent need for this new hospital, wouldn't you? Dr. SHAW. Yes, sir. Senator HILL. Well, has any effort been made to have an exception made in the cast of this hospital? Mr. KELLY. Well, we are really awaiting the raising of that question until the planning is completed and we are actually in a position to go under construction. Senator HILL. When will the planning be completed? Dr. SHAW. It ought to be soon, with the architects hard at work on the detailed drawings. Senator HILL. Will you furnish for the record a report on the Indian health construction program from 1956, by project. Your report should show the total funds available to date since this program was transferred to the Public Health Service, the obligations shown on your most recent reports, the estimated obligations to the end of this fiscal year, and the balances which you anticipate will be carried over into next fiscal year.
