   The Honorable John D. Dingell
   Chairman, Subcommittee on
      Oversight and Investigations            RELEASED
      Committee on Energy and Commerce
      House of Representatives

      Dear Mr. Chairman:

          Subject: Department of Health and Human Services
                    Allocation of Funds in Fiscal Year 1985 to
                    Support Public Health Service Officers at the
                    Uniformed Services University of the Health
                    Sciences (GAO/HRD-85-53)

          This report is in response to your February 12, 1985, re-
     quest for information related to the Department of Health and
     Human Services' (HHS') allocation of fiscal year 1985 funds for
     Public Health Service (PHS) medical positions (billets) at the
     Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS).

          USUHS operates as a separate agency of the Department of
     Defense to educate career-oriented health professionals, includ-
     ing physicians for the military. PHS participation in USUHS is
     designed to provide PHS with medical officers who have special-
     ized training suitable for the varied missions of PHS. PHS
     officers enrolled as medical students as well as interns and
     residents in the USUHS program receive such benefits as sala-
     ries, quarters allowances, and moving expenses.

          Your primary concern related to whether fiscal year 1985
     funds to support PHS officers at USUHS were being paid by indi-
     vidual agencies within PHS1 or by HHS' Office of the Assistant


     1PHS is comprised of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for
     Health and the following agencies--the Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and
     Mental Health Administration, the Centers for Disease Control
     (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National
     Institutes of Health, and the Health Resources and Services
     Administration (HRSA). One of the organizational components of
     HRSA is the Indian Health Service (IHS).

                                                            (118130)
