House of Representatives Dear Mr. .hairman: On May 11, 1976, you asked us to review the healtoh facilities surveyor training program funded by the Depa'tme-it of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW), particularly in view of HEW's plans to discontinue support of a health facilities surveyor training project at Tulan University. Based on discussions with your office in J)uoe and July 1976, we focused our review on determining (1) why HEW did not extend the surveyor training contract with Tulane University and (2) the direction HEW plans to take in administering the surveyor training program. FUNDING OF THE SURVEYOR TRAINING PROGRAM! In support of the President's message eKpressing the need to improve the general conditions of the Nation'. nursing homes and extended care facilities, $1.5 million was appropriated in 1972 to meet his goal of training 2,000 State health facilities surveyors under d program of university-based training courses for surveyors. This supplemental appropriation supported the Tulane project as well a several other univers;ty-based training projects in 1972. Additiornal funds were appropriated in 1973 t) continue the surveyor training program, including the Tulane projeLt HEW officials informed us that support for the Tulane projet from 1974 through July 31, 1976, came from Bureau of Quality Ass-irance general contract funds.
