Yes, I can give the gentlewoman that assurance. I am sympathetic to the issue that she is concerned with. Our committee is more than willing to work with my colleague and her staff to try to coordinate that. We simply do not think that we ought to have grants that are duplicative of other programs that are there. For example, the Noble Training Center in Alabama, which I am sure the gentleman from Mississippi may be familiar with, has a specialized hospital that is engaged in training health professionals for this specific purpose. We simply think that we should coordinate the grants and that the Department of Health and Human Services is the appropriate agency to coordinate these grant programs. If the gentlewoman would be so kind as to withdraw her amendment, I can assure her that I and the members of our Subcommittee on Health will be glad to work with her to try to achieve the goals that she has in mind with this amendment.
