- Testimony Before the Finance, Ways and Means Committees of the House and Senate, General Assembly, dated March 12, 1977, Blountville, Tenn. Presented by Susan Bradford, Chairman of the Human Resources Committee, this document describes deep concern for Tennesseans living below the poverty level and on the Aid for Families with Dependent Children (AFDC program). It discusses in detail the inequities between the 1969 Standard of Need and the new Ratable Reduction method used to compute monies allocated to dependent families in light of inflation.
