  construction  of  hospitals,  to  develop  a program for construction of
  public  and  nonprofit  hospitals  and  to  carry  out  the   plan   for
  construction  of  such  hospitals  in  accordance with such program, and
  generally for all the purposes  for  which  any  such  moneys  shall  be
  offered  under  or  pursuant  to any federal law heretofore or hereafter
