Mr. President. this is essentially a technical amendment. desicned to allow the Office of Revenue Sharing to implement a provision of the first continuing resolution which is Public Law 96369. Section 118 of that act provided authority to the President to adjust population estimates for Federal funding formulas to take account of those rare instances where a large inflow of immigrants arrives within 6 months of a decennial census count. Mr. President. we understand that a variety of administrative data are available to make these adjustments quickly. and at minimal expense. The Office of Revenue Sharing Claims that a full nationwide reestimate of population would be necessary to make changes in their funding formula.
