Dr. Henry A.

Foley, the Health Resources Administrator in the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, announced in August that the county would be designated if it met three conditions. One was that it relinquish control over the appoint- BY DAVID JOHNSTON After being told, again, that they cannot pick the executive director of the proposed Health Systems Agency, Los Angeles County supervisors agreed Tuesday to ask federal officials, again, if they can pick the executive director. Supervisor Baxter Ward had moved that the county abandon its application for the $3.5 million-a-year federal contract to plan for changes in the county's $6 billion-a-year health care industry. ment of the executive director to a proposed Health Systems Planning Commission.

"We have been requested to retreat from our position of control until no longer is it the county application," Ward said. Ward said the county should withdraw and let the other two applicants the Los Angeles County Health Action Committee and the Coalition for a New HSA "strive again" to win designation. In a related development, the board of the Hospital Council of Southern California voted unanimously Tuesday to "withdraw support for an HSA in Los Angeles County" unless it is county-run. The council represents most of the 197 acute-care hospitals in the county that would be affected by the proposed health planning agency's operations. Supervisor Yvonne Braithwaite Burke said she would support Ward's position to abandon the application "if I didn't believe it was in the best interests of health consumers" to have a county-run HSA.

Foley, in a message to the supervisors Monday, tightened his stand on the executive director issue. He abandoned his position of "dual concurrence" between the supervisors and the proposed HSA commission in favor of what he said federal law required, namely that the HSA commission pick the executive director.
