C014MUNICATIONS : - Ltr. re: replies to Cable T.V. Francise-the cut off' date will now be September 13, 1975 and time for _filing replies to the initial comments October 9 , 1975. . . _ August 25 , 1975 Dear Mr. Streeter: Thank you for your letter of August 7th concerning revenue sharing. Congressman Fountain introduced an administration backed bill, N.R. 6558, to extend the revise the State and Local Fiscal Assistance Act of 1972. This bill was referred to the Government Operations Committee' s Subcommittee on Intergovernmental Relations and is pending action. Nearly ten years of debate preceded enactment of the State and Local Fiscal Assistance Act which authorized the Federal Government to share a protion of its revenues derived from personal income taxes with State and Local Govern- ments. Relatively few Federal controls governed how receipients of these funds were to spend their allotments. Policy questions that have arisen relating to new legislation are: (1) Does Federal revenue sharing represent the best menAs of assisting State and Local Governments or are there better alternatives? (2) Are general revenue sharing funds being used wisely and for the most essential needs of our citizens? (3) Should this legislation be extended beyond its termination date? (4) If general revenue sharing is to continue beyond 1976, should it be funded at the same level of $6 billion annually? R" (5) Should this program continue to be funded by permanent appropriations, or should it be financed by regular annual appropriations which would sub- ject it to yearly review and action by the Appropriations Committees? (6) Whether the formulas governing distribution of these funds make the most equitable allocation of Federal revenues in areas where there is the greatest need. These are all questions that have to be considered very carefully before enanting new legislation. I certainly will consider your views and can appreciate your interest in this program' s continuance . Sincerely, /s/ Edward W. Pattison Mr. Gordnn S .

I fully recognize that funds received by towns and villages have provided an important source of revenue, On the other hand, it is important to understand that the current revenue sharing program is costing New York State taxpayers approximately half a billion dollars more in federal taxes than is returned to New York State in the form of revenue sharing funds. I am studying the whole general revenue sharing program and will 11 carefully reveiw its performance when it comes before the Congress for possible renewal.
