President's Budget
On
February 3, 2003 President Bush unveiled his FY04 Budget. As expected, the
Primary Care Medicine and Dentistry Cluster funded under Title VII was zeroed
out again. In addition, AHRQ funding was cut by almost $25 million. We will
have another uphill battle to secure funding for FY04. Additional background
on the President's
budget can be found below.
ALERT: Without
the President's support for Title VII programs, communication with Congress
is vital. We urge you to continue the advocacy efforts that made FY03 a success.
Call and write your legislators in support of Title VII. We must keep pressure
on the Hill to secure adequate funding.
