GENERAL AGREEMENT on ¥%L- W ' RESTRICTED GENERAL AGREEMENT ON ¥%L- w ' " TARIFFS AND TRADE Limited Distribution REGIONAL AGREEMENTS Calendar of Biennial Reports for Examination kt their twenty-seventh session the CONTRACTING PARTIES instructed the Council ~ to establish a calendar fixing dates for the examination, every two years, of the reports on regional agreements (SR.27/12, page 167). The Council agreed on a time-table by which the contracting parties members of a regional agreement would be invited to submit biennial reports on developments under the agreements concerned. The time-table covered the period of April 1975- October 1976 (L/4100). In order to assist the Council in establishing a new time-table for the next two years there is herewith attached a table showing various regional and association agreements, the date on which the last biennial report was submitted or, If applicable, the date of the report of the relevant working party. On the basis of these data a tentative calendar has been suggested for the submission of reports. When establishing a new time-table the Council will be aware that some of the agreements listed are presently being renegotiated. The time-table may, therefore, be revised as appropriate. k C/W/281 Page 2 Regional Agreement Report Working Party Council Proposed date submitted report discussion for reporting Anglo-Irish Free Trade Area June 1975 June 1975 April 1977 (L/4176) Arab Common Market The report due in April 1976 has not been received April 1977 Central American Common September 1976 September October 1978 Market (L/4377) 1976 ACP-EEC Convention of Lomé July 1976 July 1976 October 1978 (L/4369) EEC Cyprus May 1976 June 1976 April 1978 CL/4347) EEC Egypt June 1976 June 1976 April 1978 4» (LA355) EEC Greece October 1976 /November 1976?

  • SSI: Trends and Changes, 1974–80
    SSI: Trends and Changes, 1974-80 byLennaKennedy* By the end of 1980, the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program was making monthly cash assistance payments, aver- aging $170, to almost 4.2 million aged, blind, and disabled per- sons. When SSI payments began in January 1974, the number of recipients was 3.2 million and the average payment was $117. Since 1975, both SSI payments and Social Security bene- fits have been automatically adjusted each year to correspond with increases in the Consumer Price Index. A number of other trends in addition to growth can be discerned in the size of the population served, as well as in their categorical, geographic, and age distributions. This article discusses some of these trends and changes, using program data for the end of each cal- endar year through 1980. It also presents a brief summary of the program at the end of that period. The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program differed from State to State. In addition, payments provides cash assistance to residents of the 50 States, the within a State varied depending on criteria such as District of Columbia, and the Northern Mariana Islands special living arrangements-for instance, a recipient who are categorically eligible-aged 65 and older, blind, sharing an apartment or living in a domiciliary care fa- or disabled-and whose income and resources are with- cility. A few States also made higher supplementary in the limitations imposed by law and regulations. The payments to persons residing in metropolitan areas. maximum Federal SSI payment, originally $140 * per Although SSI has been affected by a number of legis- month for an individual without countable income and lative changes, the program has experienced little net ex- $210 for a couple, had risen by mid-1980 to $238 for an pansion since its beginning.

  • Federal-State Cooperative Program For
    Federal-State Cooperative Program for Population Estimates/ Local Population Estimates A series of reports presenting population estimates prepared under the auspices of the Federal-State Cooperative Program for Local Population Estimates. The objective of this program is the development and publication of State-prepared estimates of the population of counties using uniform procedures largely standardized for data input and methodology. The methods were mutually agreed upon by the individual States and the Bureau of the Census and were selected on the basis of the results of an extensive test of methods against the 1970 census conducted in late 1971 and early 1972. The estimates for counties are consistent with independent State population totals regularly prepared by the Bureau of the Census and published in the P-25 series of reports. Pages vary. Reports Nos. 1-138, issued 1969 to 1975. Reports P26-75-1 to P26-88-ENC-SC issued 1976 to 1990. Series title changed to Local Population Estimates in 1984.
