to label them too small In the budget the President explained the $10 billion represents federal state and local funds combined The national government would put up $4 billion with the Federal outlays i ng stretched out over a 9-year period In other words the last communities to participate would get their first federal funds in the fifth year of the program The actual amount to be spend during the fiscal year starting July 1 under the Presidents new program would be $40 million Added to this would be $423 million under the existing program which Nixon wants to replace with federal matching
