    (a) Attention is called to the requirements of title VI of the Civil

particular section 601 of such Act which provides that no person in the

which applies to grants made under this part, has been issued by the

of age, sex, creed, or marital status (unless otherwise medically

of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity so 

receiving Federal financial assistance.

    (b) Attention is called to the requirements of section 504 of the 

Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, which provides that no otherwise 

qualified handicapped individual in the United States shall, solely by 

reason of his handicap, be excluded from participation in, be denied the 

benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or 

activity receiving Federal financial assistance.
