CONGRESSIONAL RECORD?SENATE 3epLember 24, 1
years. About 30.000 of the approximately 93,-
000 medical and dental students who gradu-
ated between 1965 and 1972 received_ loans
under the Student Assistance Program. A
study by the General Accounting Oface found
that, as of October 1973, only 86 physicians
and 133 dentists had obtained cancellations
through practicing in a shortage area. More-
over, inquiries by the GAO to these prac-
titioners who had obtained cancellations
through practice in an underserved area re-
vealed that more than 80% of them would
have chosen the same practice location even
if loan cancellation provisions had not been
available, The conclusion is inescapable that
the present loan forgiveness program is in-
adequate to deal with problems of geographic
maldistribution.
The Committee bill seeks to meet this sit-
uation by provisions that have the effect of
making all students at health professions
schools supported by the federal government
subject to a two-year period of service in a
shortage area following graduation. The goal
is commendable?to provide service in hith-
erto ? underserved areas. But the mechanism
chosen is unfortunate?every institution cov-
ered by this Act is required as a condition of
receiving federal aid to impose as an admis-
sion requirement that the entering student
sign an agreement to provide such service, re-
gardless of whether the student himself re-
ceives any federal aid. ? ?
? By tying the requirement of service to in-
stitutional assistance as well as to student
assistance, the Committee bill gives truth to
the often-heard claim that "federal assist-
? ance ultimately means federal control."
Moreover, the practical effect of these pro-'
visions of the bill is that a "doctor draft" is
being imposed even though all service re-
quirements for everyone else were ended
with the termination of the conscription
system under the Selective Service Act. ?
have no objection to legislation that
meets the need for making health services
available in all areas in this manner so long
as the service requirement is reasonably re-
lated to benefits received by the individuals
who have the obligation to render service.
Thus, it is fitting to require those individuals
receiving direct assistance from the federal
government to agree to render service as a
condition of their loan or scholarship agree-
ment. But the Committee bill does not make
this distinction.. The inequities inherent In
the system provided in the Committee bill
can be seen in the following illustration:
(1) Student A receives student assistance
covering tuition payments and, in addition,
up to $2,500 for each year she is in school.
As a consequence, he is subject to a two-year
service requirement.
(2) Student B neither asks for nor receives
any direct assistance from the federal gov-
ernment. The cost of his education is paid
entirely through his own and his family's
resources. Yet, he too is subject to a two-
year service requirement merely because the
institution he attended received federal
assistance. - -
During Committee consideration of this
legislation, I proposed an alternative system
of student assistance and mandatory service
which I believe would be a _much more rea-
sonable approach to this problem. Under this
proposal, every student attending an ac-
credited health professions educational in-
stitution covered under this Act would be
assured of a scholarship covering the cost
of tuition and, in addition, a fixed dollar
amount to cover living expenses. The schools
would be. permitted ;to raise tuition to more
nearly cover their costs than tuition fees
presently do. This program would be in lieu
of present programs of institutional support
under which paymeAk
of -capitation and^001iVair 0**a
student who received such a scholarship
would be subject to a two-year service obli-
gation as a. condition of federal assistance,
This proposal nas the advani,age of link-
.,ing service directly to benefits received. It
enables instituti ms to receive eupport that
would, in nearly every case, exceed the sup-
port now received through direct federal pay-
ments for institutional support. Those stu-
dents who chase not to accept a scholarship
would have no service obligation but the
advantages of participating in this scholar-
ship program would be so great that it could
reasonably be anticipated that the over-
whelming majority of studente, would seek
such scholarships and thus would be obli-
gated to render service after graduation..
The cost of such a system is somewhat
greater than that contained in the Commit-
tee bill. However, the greater costs are neces-
sitated by the Jederal government's paying
for the service obligation that the Commit-
tee bill would extract without payment from
the student whe receiVes no direct federal
aid.
In summary, I fully anymore the federal
government's commitment to provide aid to
both- health edusation institutions and their
students; I oppree the coercive elements of
the new institutional support system con-
tained in the Committee bill under which
'students who e,csceive no direct benefits are
obligated to put in a two-year period of serv-
ice after gradual-Con. We should avoid condi-
tinning federal aid upon the kind of over-
whelming federal control of educational in-
stitutions contienplated by the bill. Rather,
we should provide inducements sufficient to
recruit the numbers of. persons needed to
provide health care in shortage areas while
allowing each individual a free choice as to
whether or not to accept federal benefits and
thus incur an obligation. This bill would
make the Secrelary of Health, Education,
and Welfare the supreme arb.ter of where
every graduate of a health education insti-
tution practices his or her profession. How
long before the e;ecretary dictates how each
individual practices? -;

Vietnam has not been observed by any of the.
Vietnamese parties to-- the conflict. Military
operation a of an offensive and defensize na-

forces and the Lon Not government has in-
teneified, resulting in widespread human set:
feting and the virtual destruction of the
Cambodeni economy.- '
(c) The Congress further finds that con-
tinuation of the military struggles in South
Vietnam and Cambodia are not in the inter-
est of the parties directly engaged in the con-
flicts, the people of. Indochina, or world peace.
In order to lessen the heman suffering in In-
dochina raid to bring about a genuine peace
there, the Congress urges and requests the
President and the. Secretary of State to .un-
clertake immediately the ? following measures
:-
(1) to initiate .negotiations with repre-
