Further, the Department of the Interior has explored the implications of waiving local matching requirements for these grants before deciding to await the results of the ongoing Interagency Policy Review on Territories.

If so, it would be possible for a territory to utilize funds appropriated for the oostructicon of health cure facilities for other purposes authorized by grants provided by . the Department, such as historic preservation. ‘the Administrration not believe that this type of flecbility is in the best intesess or” the territories or the Federal Goverment.
