APPENDIX III-B. MEMORANDUM OF DISSENT BY FOUR MEMBERS FROM THE MAJORITY REPORT WITH RESPECT TO FEDERAL PARTICIPATION IN GENERAL ASSISTANCE . ’ _

Those opposin 7

the extension of Federal grants to include .generalassistance are fu ly cognizant .of the pressing need to improve. the standards and effectiveness of this type of social-welfare program. They believe, however, that the extension and liberalization of the social insurances and the improvement of the program for aid to dependent children currently recommended by this Council, if adopted,will in time materially reduce the burden of general assistance to be borne by the States and localities. Further, they are convinced that general assistance for persons of working age is in particular, under our form of government, the responsibility of the State and locality, since sustained and immediate participation by community representatives is essential to the effective and economical administration of this form of assistance. They would favor the broadening of the existing pro-gram of Federal participation in State aid to the blind to cover personsof working age who are totally and permanently disabled by other specified physical impairments of an equally serious and demonstrable character.
