He points out there very clearly thatThis amendment . . . penalizes the State of New York more than any other. Another formula. which works an injustice and to which amendments might be offered were it not for a closed rule. is that which affects the program of aid to dependent children. By freezing the number of children according to the formula in the bill. it means short changing the large populous metropolitan States which are experiencing and have experienced for the past number of years a large immigration of poor people. particularly from the rural areas of the country from which for various reasons. including mechanization of farming and the inadequate level of public assistance. they are forced to the cities. Again this means that the large populous metropolitan States would be penalized. If we do not have a closed rule. it will be possible to examine not only this formula but the method by which public assistance is financed.
