TOTAL APPLICATIONS

Then there are 66 applications, totaling $29 million requested, pending review at the June and November Council meetings. This makes up the second item. In addition to that, there are other applications coming in every day. I have had from 8 to 10 phone calls a week during the past 3 or 4 weeks, incoming long-distance calls with reference to individuals or institutions who want to make formal submission of applications prior to June 30.

Now as to the third item, we have had for a number of years an intention list which we have kept up-to-date. At the moment it totals 104 formal intentions from institutions who feel they will be able to submit applications on or before June 30.

Senator HILL. Of this year?

Dr. SCHMEHL. Yes, sir.

Senator HILL. That is in addition to these other two categories? Dr. SCHMEHL. In addition to the other two. In summary, then we have $37 million recommended for approval by the Council and on the priority list subject to subsequent award by the Surgeon-General. There is $29 million requested in applications already submitted to us and to be reviewed at the June Council and the November Council. Practically all the project site visits for the June Council have already been completed. Then there are 104 intentions, totaling $41.6 million. The grand total of the program demand is $107,691,096.

I would stress that this is a firm figure of recommended approvals of $37 million. The others are either pending applications or inten tions and would not of necessity be approved by the Council.

GRANTS AWARDED, 1957-61

The third document is another table, showing the estimated total cost of the projects that we have had to date in the first 5 fiscal years of the program.

I would like to submit this tabulation for the record also. Senator HILL. That may go into the record at this point. (The tabulation referred to follows:)

HEALTH RESEARCH FACILITIES PROGRAM

Total estimated cost of projects, 1957-61-785 grants to 325 institutions in 48 States, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, totaling $149,987,382

NOTE.-The grant totals by years are less than $30,000,000 in fiscal years 1957, 1958, and 1960, and more than $30,000,000 in fiscal years 1959 and 1961 due to transfer of delayed projects to subsequent fiscal years.

FUNDS ALLOCATED

MEHL. We have made a total of 785 grants to 323 institus is for a total amount of $149,987,382 in Federal funds. tions have indicated in documents to us that they propose facilities costing $671,418,438.

HILL. Does the $671 million include the Federal grants? MEHL. It includes the Federal grants so that their funds 1,056, or roughly, 32 of non-Federal dollars for every llar.

HILL. 312 to 1? [EHL. Yes, sir.

gone over this list with a great deal of care.

s you know, involved in some multipurpose structures, hosedical teaching facilities for example, which are paid by ions on a full-cost basis, or the hospitals may include Hillds as well. We have gone over this list very recently, and eflects a rather accurate figure of research facility costs as the testimony before your committee last year. It still ttle high. But we have quite a few institutions who have yond the Federal matching to meet the needs that they t had to have at this time.

are the three main documents that I want to present.

PLANS HEALTH RESEARCH FACILITIES CONSTRUCTION 1960-65

th document that I will comment on very briefly is the ch was made in January and February of this year with the funds that the institutions might need over the next 1963, 1964, and 1965. I have that actually in two forms. m is the long statement showing in quite some detail the

he total cost of $891 million of needs, and the amount of ds they would expect to request over a 3-year fiscal period 24,441,188.

ke to submit these two tabulations for the record, if I may. HILL. They may go into the record at this point.
