This resolution is an extension of an existing continuing resolution which funds. among other government programs. title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. New information in the form of results from the 1970 Census makes necessary the modification of the resolution. in order to justly allocate funds to States affected by the immigration of eligible children from other areas of the country. s The original continuing resolution. I which provided funds for title I through t September 30 of this year. contains a 100percent "hold harmless" provision assuring that no State shall receive less funding than it did in fiscal year 1972. The distribution formula which resulted was equitable in light of statistics then available.
