Senate Joint Resolution requesting that federal aid to the states for
the elimination of poverty as prescribed by the Economic Op-
portunity Act of 1964 and the State's participation in said pro-
gram be referred to the Taxation and Fiscal Affairs Committee
for study.

Whereas, The Federal Congress has passed the Economic Op-
portunity Act of 1964 to aid states in the elimination of poverty
on a participating basis; and

Whereas, The present local share requirement is 10% and the
Federal Government's participation is 90%, but the ratio is scheduled
to change to a 50-50 basis after August 20, 1966; and

Whereas, The local subdivision of the State scheduled to con-

areas which are most in need of aid, they also are the areas having
less resources to meet their share of the payment; and

Whereas, The money under this Federal Economic Opportunity
Act is generally to aid low income groups with particular emphasis
in the field of education; and
