A: Yes, several times. The
Hoover Commission, in 1949,
recommended that
categorical grants be
"classified and systematized"
and that a "system of grants
be established based upon
broad categories---such as
hlghways, education, public
assistance, and public
health-- as contrasted with
the present system of extreme
fragmentation." That was in
1949, but each major attempt
at consolidation, decen-
tralization was met with
congressional skepticism and
defeated.
President Reagan
resurrected the idea during
the 1976 Presidential cam-
paign when he proposed
turning $90 billion worth of
domestic programs back to
state and local governments.
The idea continued to
germinate and, as more and
more people became familiar
with the objectives and pur-
pose, block grants became a
fundamental plank of the 1980
revisions designed to address
the single most detrimental
force affecting our economy --
inflation," he added.
One of the most fun-
damental, yet controversial
components of the economic
recovery package is President
strain on previously funded
state programs. However, the
block grant program will
absorb some of this strain by
giving state officials the
needed flexibility in allocating
their federal dollars. Local
and state authorities, not
federal officials, under the
block grant proposal will be
able to determine which
rograms should receive full
nding and which should be
reduced," he said.
"In order to efficiently
administer the block grant
program state policy makers
and administrators must fully
understand the importance
and potential of the concept,"
Gregg said. Carlson amwered
the following questions about
block grants:
Q: In general, what are the
In effect, block grants will
eliminate the power struc-
tures constructed within the
bureaucracy over the past two
decades; fiefdoms which have

the expense of legitimate

A: Yes, several times. The
Hoover Commission, in 1949,
recommended that
categorical grants be
"classified and systematized"
and that a "system of grants
be established based upon
broad categories---such as
hlghways, education, public
assistance, and public
health-- as contrasted with
the present system of extreme
fragmentation." That was in
1949, but each major attempt
at consolidation, decen-
tralization was met with
congressional skepticism and
defeated.
President Reagan
resurrected the idea during
the 1976 Presidential cam-
paign when he proposed
turning $90 billion worth of
domestic programs back to
state and local governments.
The idea continued to
germinate and, as more and
more people became familiar
with the objectives and pur-
pose, block grants became a
fundamental plank of the 1980
revisions designed to address
the single most detrimental
force affecting our economy --
inflation," he added.
One of the most fun-
damental, yet controversial
components of the economic
recovery package is President
strain on previously funded
state programs. However, the
block grant program will
absorb some of this strain by
giving state officials the
needed flexibility in allocating
their federal dollars. Local
and state authorities, not
federal officials, under the
block grant proposal will be
able to determine which
rograms should receive full
nding and which should be
reduced," he said.
"In order to efficiently
administer the block grant
program state policy makers
and administrators must fully
understand the importance
and potential of the concept,"
Gregg said. Carlson amwered
the following questions about
block grants:
Q: In general, what are the
In effect, block grants will
eliminate the power struc-
tures constructed within the
bureaucracy over the past two
decades; fiefdoms which have
been constructed at the ex-
pense of the American tax-
payer and, unfortunately, at
the expense of legitimate
recipients of assistance.
