Sec. 300z-6. Coordination of programs

    (a) The Secretary shall coordinate Federal policies and programs 
providing services relating to the prevention of adolescent sexual 
relations and initial and recurrent adolescent pregnancies and providing 
care services for pregnant adolescents. In achieving such coordination, 
the Secretary shall--
        (1) require grantees who receive funds for demonstration 
    projects for services under this subchapter to report periodically 
    to the Secretary concerning Federal, State, and local policies and 
    programs that interfere with the delivery of and coordination of 
    pregnancy prevention services and other programs of care for 
    pregnant adolescents and adolescent parents;
        (2) provide technical assistance to facilitate coordination by 
    State and local recipients of Federal assistance;
        (3) review all programs administered by the Department of Health 
    and Human Services which provide prevention services or care 
    services to determine if the policies of such programs are 
    consistent with the policies of this subchapter, consult with other 
    departments and agencies of the Federal Government who administer 
    programs that provide such services, and encourage such other 
    departments and agencies to make recommendations, as appropriate, 
    for legislation to modify such programs in order to facilitate the 
    use of all Government programs which provide such services as a 
    basis for delivery of more comprehensive prevention services and 
    more comprehensive programs of care for pregnant adolescents and 
    adolescent parents;
        (4) give priority in the provision of funds, where appropriate, 
    to applicants using single or coordinated grant applications for 
    multiple programs; and
        (5) give priority, where appropriate, to the provision of funds 
    under Federal programs administered by the Secretary (other than the 
    program established by this subchapter) to projects providing 
    comprehensive prevention services and comprehensive programs of care 
    for pregnant adolescents and adolescent parents.

    (b) Any recipient of a grant for a demonstration project for 
services under this subchapter shall coordinate its activities with any 
other recipient of such a grant which is located in the same locality.
