Harley O. Staggers presiding. Mr. STAGGERS. The committee will be in order. Hearings this morning are on H.R. 3142, which Chairman Harris introduced, and H.R. 6001, introduced by our colleague from Rhode Island (Mr. Fogarty). These two bills are both identical with S. 597, introduced by Senator Hill, on January 19, this year. These bills would authorize a program of grants to finance the construction of medical library facilities, the training of biomedical librarians and information specialists; the expansion and improvement of medical library resources; research and development in medical library sciences; the support of biomedical publications; the support of special scholarly scientific projects; the establishment of regional medical libraries; and the establishment of regional branches of the National Library of Medicine. The needs of medical libraries throughout the United States are critical. Existing libraries are cramped for space, frequently inadequate in resources, deficient in trained manpower, and in need of new methods for bandling the growing amounts of medical literature. A number of persons have expressed their interest in this legislation to the committee and so far as I am aware there is no opposition to the legislation. Under the circumstances, then, I would like to suggest to the witnesses here today that there sbould not be any need for prolonged presentations. We hope to be able to complete the hearings on this legislation today. At this point in the record, we will print the text of the bill and the agency reports thereon. (The bill and reports referred to follow :) (H.R. 3142, 89th Cong., 1st sess.)
