The Administration strongly opposes enactment of H.R. 2370, because the bill continues large obsolete Federal training subsidies designed to meet nursing shortages of the 1960's — not the surpluses of the 1980's. The Administration's proposals target nursing funds on needy students through improvements in the Nursing Student Loan program.
