More substantial is the additional cost involved in providing building facilities for these new students. The Federal Government assumes responsibility in a whole series of problems which arise between the States. It strikes me as being perfectly logical to ask the Federal Government to assume part of the cost of the initial impact on a community created by families who move into the community from other States. at least until these migrant families can become a meaningful participant in their new communitys economic stream. The alternative is either to have the local taxpayer assume the everincreasing full cost of providing education for these migrant youngsters. orand this of course is completely unworkableask the State from whence the families came to make some sort of contribution. Obviously. no one. including myself. would seriously propose the latter. My proposal provides that we follow the same formula for Federal aid to migrant students which is now incorporated in the federally impacted areas school bill. The Federal Government. under existing law. pays onehalf of the total contribution made by the local government toward public education of those children whose parents have moved into the school district as a result of some Federal activity in which they are engaged but who do not actually live on a Federal installation. I have selected the qualifying period of 6 years because it is my judgment that it takes at least that long for a family to be absorbed into the economic stream of a local community. and it is my further judgment that it takes approximately that length of time before a new family starts making a sufficient contribution to the local taxes of a community to help significantly defray the initial cost of providing educational facilities for a youngsters schooling.
