and includes representatives of the local
departments of health, education, social services
and juvenile services, and members appointed at
large. One-half of the members initially appointed
serve for two-year terms; the remainder serve for

Councils examine programs, services, and plans
for children; secure and analyze Departmental
plans and budget requests affecting children's
programs and services; review the use and avail-
ability of Federal funds; identify, document, and
communicate the needs, resources, and priorities
