Evaluating Revenue Sharing For Federal Program Evaluation
The Office of Management and Budget asks states to assess the revenue sharing program as $5.3 billion is disbursed to states and localities for December and January under the 92nd Congress plan. Early large shares reflect retroactive amounts to January 1, 1972, with future yearly grants smaller and limited to capital needs or operating expenses in safety, environment, transit, health, recreation, libraries, social services and financial administration. Governors seek local reports for state and subdivision analysis while officials fear possible grant cuts as the President seeks budget reductions and avoids tax increases by pruning resultsless programs.

Geographic Dining Table Free Of The Calendar
Washington notes that in 1900 Americans had under a hundred foods available while today supermarkets stock many times more. In gaslit times moderate households ate mainly meats, bread, potatoes, and dried beans. Fresh fruit was costly and salads rare. Seasonal limits affected lettuce and tomatoes. Christmas meals varied by region with goose or turkey and beans with pork. The agricultural revolution broadened holiday fare to fresh fruit and frozen foods. Freezing innovations in the 1920s and 1940s helped frozen foods become commonplace.
