We realize the advafntages of longterm authorizations. but the wisdom of the committee was that it would be better to remedy any difficulties now and study the problems further. The essential amendments made in this legislation seek to liberalize support for needy children. For example. Indian children. migrant children. ne. glected and delinquent children. and the * children in outlying territories. Moreover. changes in the formula for counting lowincome children were made. by the use of a more uptodate census of the children from aid to dependent - families. In 1968. there will be inclusion of children from families with incomes r of $3.000.
