In addition to general revenue sharing, the administration plan would have Congress consolidate many of the narrow-purpos- e categorical Federal grant programs into a limited number of broad-purpos- e special revenue sharing programs. Thus far, however, Congress has balked at adopting any of the special revenue sharing proposals.

"We are tremendously upset by the fact that water users are told what is going to happen after things have happened, Mr. Hugh McKellar, manager of the Provo River Water Users Association, told Mr. Crandall in a prepared statement.

Among the reasons for the apparent larger Federal grant distributions to Utah are that some of the allocation formulas recognize the large land area and the high proportion of Federally-owneland, the relatively low financial resources, and the large number of children to be educated in the state.
