Although the formulation worked out in conference allows a more equitable distribution of funds that was available under the "100 percent State hold harmless" provision. it does not go as far as it could toward the targetting of these moneys to school districts which have already accepted additional title I children. This is where the money is needed the most. Twentyeight States are in the predicament of losing a portion of their potential funding. which should be rightfully theirs because of the emigration of eligible children into their boundaries over this past decade. These States. so disadvantaged. are represented by a total of 288 Members of the House of Representatives and 58 Members of the Senate. I am in full concert with my colleagues in conference in looking upon this measure as purely an "interim" solution to a very complex problem.
