I appreciate having this expression of the views of the members of the St. Paul City Council. After enactment of the 20% social security benefit increase this summer, I joined in the introduction of legislation which would "pass along" the full increase to recipients of other forms of Federal assistance and was pleased that we were at least able to obtain continuation of Medicaid as well as a $4. 00 pass-through to those who were receiving welfare benefits in October of this year. You can be sure, though, that *�vhen Congress reconvenes next Janua�y, I will continue my efforts in behalf of those persons who are in need of public assista.nce. With every best wish.

Marshall City Clerk 386 City Hall St. Paul, Minnesota 55102 Dear Mr. Marshall : I appreciate your getting in touch with me concerning the funding of social services. Under the old system, grants to the states were funded on an open-ended basis. Legislation enacted in this Congress , however, placed a $2. 5 billion ceiling on funds available to the states for social services. Each state would be limited to its share of $2 .5 billion based on its proportion of the population. Child Care , family planning, services to the mentally retarded, services related to the treatment of drug addicts and alcoholics, and services to foster children can still be provided to persons formerly on welfare as well as present recipients of welfare . However, 90� of all social service funds must be spent for current welfare recipients. Until a state reaches the limitation of its allocation, 75$ federal matching would continue to be applicable for other social services under present law. What this new amendment means is that services to the elderly or probation or parole services , for example , must be funded out of the remaining 10$ set aside for non-welfare recipients. And, undoubtedly, federal funding for such services as the Hennepin County Court Service program will suffer cutbacks. During consideration of the social service legislation, attempts were made to modify these cutbacks , but many Senators felt that open-ended funding provisions were being misused by some states and local agencies. I believe that this, more than anything else did most harm to the efforts of those who wanted to maintain funding on an open-ended basis . In the next session of Congress, I intend to press for an amend- ment to the social service ceiling that would restore a more balanced approach between services to welfare recipients and Hl9�EiZT. H. HUMPHREY • MINAFESOTA ',21Cnif eb ,�if a�es ,$e�nafe WASHINGTON, D.C. 20510 non-recipients. I strongly feel that Congress in the next session would examine the entire social service program, studying the state planning mechanisms, the operation of the programs and the identification of the needs of the recipients. It is very helpful to have your counsel, and I hope we can be in close touch during the 93rd Congress. Si erely, Hubert .
