Section 300. Project grants and contracts for family planning services

    (a) Authority of Secretary
      The Secretary is authorized to make grants to and enter into
    contracts with public or nonprofit private entities to assist in
    the establishment and operation of voluntary family planning
    projects which shall offer a broad range of acceptable and
    effective family planning methods and services (including natural
    family planning methods, infertility services, and services for
    adolescents). To the extent practical, entities which receive
    grants or contracts under this subsection shall encourage familiy
    (!1) participation in projects assisted under this subsection.

    (b) Factors determining awards; establishment and preservation of
      rights of local and regional entities
      In making grants and contracts under this section the Secretary
    shall take into account the number of patients to be served, the
    extent to which family planning services are needed locally, the
    relative need of the applicant, and its capacity to make rapid and
    effective use of such assistance. Local and regional entities shall
    be assured the right to apply for direct grants and contracts under
    this section, and the Secretary shall by regulation fully provide
    for and protect such right.
    (c) Reduction of grant amount
      The Secretary, at the request of a recipient of a grant under
    subsection (a) of this section, may reduce the amount of such grant
    by the fair market value of any supplies or equipment furnished the
    grant recipient by the Secretary. The amount by which any such
    grant is so reduced shall be available for payment by the Secretary
    of the costs incurred in furnishing the supplies or equipment on
    which the reduction of such grant is based. Such amount shall be
    deemed as part of the grant and shall be deemed to have been paid
    to the grant recipient.
    (d) Authorization of appropriations

    section, there are authorized to be appropriated $30,000,000 for
