As I say. the committee already cut the block grant $27 million below the reconciliation level. and $117 million below fiscal year 1981. Now. listen to this. and the Members know this better than I do: 91 percent of these funds go to States directly for antipoverty programs aimed at the elderly and the disadvantaged. These are funds that go to every local community action agency in this country. including key programs for migrant workers. seasonal farmworkers. rural housing. and programs to promote selfsufficiency for the lowincome persons. These funds go to nutrition programs. weatherization programs. and they leverage inkind equipment and services from the private sector totaling an estimated $115 million. Nine percent of these funds remain in the Secretarys discretionary fund.
