For this reason. I have offered for myself and for 30 other Senators. an amendment which would. in effect. substitute the House formula in title I for that contained in S. 1539. My amendment would. however. retain the Senate payment rate for State agency programsinstitutionalized handicapped. neglected. and delinquent children and migrants. Both the Senate and the House bills are in agreement that the Orshansky Indexthe accepted Federal Index of Povertyshould be the prime factor in determining the number of children to be covered by title I aid in any given local education agency. However. the Senate bill places undue emphasis on the number of children whose families are receiving AFDC payments.
