"(b) The maximum total grants which shall be made 18 available for use in any State for this section shall be an 19 amount equal to 50 per centum of the average per pupil 20 expenditure in that State or, if greater, in the United States 21 multiplied by (1) the estimated number of such migratory 22 children aged five to seventeen, inclusive, who reside in the 23 State full time, and (2) the full-time equivalent of the esti24 mated number of such migratory children aged five to 25 seventeen, inclusive, who reside in the State part time, as

ADJUSTMENTS NECESSITATED BY APPROPRIATIONS

SEC. 206. The first sentence of section 144 of title I of 16 the Act is amended to read as follows: "If the sums appro17 priated for any fiscal year for making the payments provided 18 in part A of this title are not sufficient to pay in full the total 19 amounts which all local educational agencies are eligible to 20 receive under part A of this title for such year the allocations 21 to such agencies shall, subject to adjustments under the next 22 sentence, be ratably reduced to the extent necessary to bring 23 the aggregate of such allocations within the limits of the 24 amounts so appropriated. The allocation of a local educational 25 agency which would be reduced under the preceding sentence

19

to below the amount of its allocation under this section for

2 the fiscal year ending June 30, 1972, shall be increased to 3 such amount, the total of the increases thereby required being 4 derived by proportionately reducing the allocations of the 5 remaining local educational agencies, under the preceding 6 sentence, but with such adjustments as may be necessary to prevent the allocation of any of such remaining local educa8 tional agencies from being thereby reduced to less than such

9 amount.
