"SEC. 806. (a) I n order to prevent further attrition and promote the development of public and nonprofit private diploma schools of nursing, there are hereby authorized to be appropriated $4,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1965, $7,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1966, and $10,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1967, and each of the two succeeding fiscal years, to defray a portion of the cost of training students of nursing whose enrollment in such schools can be reasonably attributed to the provisions of this title. " (b) From the amounts appropriated pursuant to subsection (a), the Surgeon General shall pay to each public or nonprofit private diploma school of nursing for each fiscal year in the five-year period beginning on July 1, 1964, and ending June 30, 1969, an amount equal to the product of $250 and the sum of the number of federally-sponsored students in such school during such year and the number by which the full-time enrollment in such school during such year exceeds the average of the full-time enrollments in such school during the fiscal years ending June 30, 1962, June 30, 1963, and June 30, 1964, except that no such diploma school of nursing shall for any fiscal year receive an amount in excess of the product of $100 and the full-time enrollment in such school during such year. If the amounts appropriated pursuant to subsection (a) for any fiscal year are inadequate to make the grants provided for in the preceding sentence, the amount of the grant to each such diploma school of nursing shall be reduced so that it shall bear the same ratio to such amounts appropriated for such year as the amount such school would be entitled to under the preceding sentence bears to the aggregate amount which all diploma schools of nursing would be entitled to for such year under such sentence.
