Dr. Jackson's concerns arise out of the Department of Health and Human Services' not awarding an emergency medicine training grant to the hospital subsequent to the expiration of the 45-day withholding period authorized for rescissions under the Impoundment Control Act.

The Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services is authorized to make grants to, and enter contracts with, qualified hospitals having training programs which meet require- ments established by the Secretary. The grants and contracts assist in meeting the cost of training programs in the techniques and methods of providing emergency medical services, and provide financial assistance to those who plan to work in the practice of emergency medicine. 42 U.S.C. 295g-9(a)(1). The statute gives the Secretary discretion in determining the amount of any grant or contract, 42 U.S.C. 295g-9(c), and in establishing the funding cycle applicable to the submission and review of appli- cations for grants and contracts, 42 U.S.C. 295g-9(f). The EMST grant to the Hospital initially was awarded in 1977, with up to 5 years of renewal options. Grant periods for 1977 through 1980 were from October 1 through September 30. During the first 3 years, the hospital was awarded a grant during the fourth quarter; in 1980, the grant was awarded It the end of the third quarter.
