And we have an alcohol and drug abuse block grant where the States will exercise control. These are areas where block grants are workable. where States have long experience. These are areas where States can take over programs now without disruption and confusion. These are programs where it is reasonable to test the block grant theory. But where block grants do not make sense. we have kept categorical programs in place. The Broyhill proposal. by contrast. lumps programs indiscriminately into three massive block grants. There is no acknowledgement that some programslike migrant health centerssimply do not fit. There is no real accountability. There are no assurances that priority areas will be continued.
