RESPONSE TO DR. RICHARD NATHAN'S PAPER

IN Federal his paper Grant-In-Aid entitled System "Reforming for States the Federal Grant-In-Aid System for States and Localities," Dr. Richard Nathan defends the present intergovernmental aid system as an institution that can accommodate fundamental shifts in the political, social, or fiscal climate of the nation. He claims that, in this sense, it is a highly adaptable and dynamic tool for effecting political change in an open, democratic system. Yet, Dr. Nathan then proceeds to attack those who are now calling for the kinds of changes he feels the system is designed to accommodate. He charges them with recommending basic alterations in the system's structure, and in his conclusion, even implies that they are "tampering with political institutions."
