I know. Any place in the United States. Mr. ROCKEFELLER. The money would go to a specific project or a case Fan! It is an important facior beans are manier - I am thinking of a situation where, because of the Senator Cooler. Take the next one. Extension and improvement. wie bare, they probably have more advanced proSuppose you had $25 million appropriated by the Congress for that. Then, in a state like Wyoming do you think I understand that the apportionment to the States would still be based funds which would probably result from the on the population formula. - cela would possibly affect the programs which can Mr. ROCKEFELLER. Exactly. - zmed on successfully in those larger States where Senator Cooper. In the States you have a pital facilities, like cancer control? Mr. ROCKEFELLER. A State plan. I think the answer would be "Yes," if there port program based on the equalization formula · "sl Survey and Construction Act. However, that Senator COOPER. Over a 6-year period. The extension and improvement grant is alloMr. ROCKEFELLER. That is correct. But each year there would be basis. Therefore the big States would get more rew money available to the State. Senator COOPER. Now, the support is the one I really wanted to ger population, and that money would be applied inquire about. I do not understand the formula. Assume $65 million their program. So that they will benefit prois appropriated by the Congress for support. The formula is changed 1. because of the larger populations that they from the present formula. Mr. ROCKEFELLER. The formula is changed. ale cortina Senator Cooper. That applies to all of your grant-in-aid prograins. I sempat to your question . Mr. ROCKEFELLER. The Secretary will be back tomorrow recom Sierrain it mending or supporting legislation on vocational rehabilitation, and you will find the same formula recommended there. V? Senator COOPER. Without going into the details by which you arrived at the apportionment to the State, the theory is that the larger E27 LETR#ila, States now would receive smaller amounts and the poorer States would c. ******* !!!!! receive perhaps larger amounts. Mr. ROCKEFELLER. We did not develop a formula in the Secretary's * memuda wote , *. office. This was a formula which, I think, one of your committee members is importantly responsible for having developed, Senator *** Hill. It is a formula on which I know Senator Taft spent a great deal of time. It is apparently the formula which the States feel T* across the board most effectively reflects what is sometimes called equalization to give special help to those States which have a lower per capita income. Senator Coorer. I am not from a rich State, but supposing you had a State like New York or Massachusetts, one where there are great hospitals and where they have perhaps started great programs in mental health, cancer, and heart disease. This would mean, I assume, that those States would receive smaller sums. Do you think that this would affect the programs which they may have already instituted in such fields? Mr. ROCKEFELLER. I think this chart here is the best answer. The matching formula, as it now exists, is two Federal dollars to one State dollar. This is the average Federal contribution to State and local contributions in the 18 States for general health. Therefore, it would be clear that the wealthiest States would be spending far more or a far larger proportion of Federal to State funds than the average. |
