It provides for three additional Assistant Secretaries of Health, Education, and Welfare..

The report on the bill from the Committee on Labor and Public Welfare includes the following statement:

Additional factors are increasing the demand for the construction of health research facilities. New medical and dental schools are being established with construction assistance for their teaching facilities provided under the Health Professions Educational Assistance Act of 1963. These schools also require research facilities and their needs are not being met because of the limited funds that are available under the existing annual appropriation authorization of $50 million. Educators in the health professions recognize that research facilities are essential to good programs of education. They also recognize that new schools have difficulty in attracting faculty to an institution that does not have the facilities and opportunities for research.
