The Committee believes that the amounts listed below are fair estimates of the funds that could be wisely used in fiscal year 1961 for the new areas of emphasis which have been recommended.

TABLE 26.-Projection: New areas of emphasis for the National Institutes of Health program

[blocks in formation]

This amount is included under research grants in table 25 as part of the fiscal year 1960 program.

* The equivalent of the 1960 level for these activities is included in the fiscal year 1961 projection of the present program in table 25.

This should be appropriated under an amendment to the Health Research Facilities Construction Act.

SUMMARY OF PROJECTIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 1961 FOR THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH

The Committee believes that the National Institutes of Health could utilize effectively in fiscal year 1961 the total amounts shown below for the further development of the present program and for the new areas of emphasis proposed.

In addition, the Committee would add under separate appropriations:

A total budget for the National Institutes of Health for fiscal year 1961 of approximately $664 million should be considered a reasonable estimate of the funds which could be wisely and usefully expended through the National Institutes of Health for the attack on major disease problems during the coming year, provided adequate time is allowed for planning and staffing new programs. This represents an increase of $264 million over the budget for fiscal year 1960.

To this should be added under separate appropriations $4.4 million for intramural planning and construction, $50 million for health research facilities construction, and $60 million to initiate a program of health educational facilities construction.

This level of support would assure the effective utilization of the Nation's present potential for medical research and would allow the growth which this Committee believes necessary. The appropriation of less than the amount suggested may mean a consequent postponement of the time when answers to major disease problems could become available.
