  Whereas the State Workforce Investment Board has found that
there is an acute shortage of registered nurses in Oregon and has
established the goal of doubling enrollment in nursing education
programs by 2004; and
  Whereas Oregon faces profound health care provider shortages
that jeopardize patient care and health care delivery; and
  Whereas an increased commitment to the health care provider
professions will fuel additional economic growth at a time when
Oregon has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country;
and
  Whereas the Governor may reserve a portion of the federal funds
received by Oregon under the federal Workforce Investment Act of
1998 and use those funds for statewide employment and training
activities; now, therefore,
 
Be It Resolved by the Legislative Assembly of the State of
  Oregon:
 
  That we, the members of the Seventy-second Legislative
Assembly, urge the Governor of the State of Oregon to allocate
one percent of the moneys reserved by the Governor under the
federal Workforce Investment Act of 1998 to provide training for
health care providers.
