"(b) For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1960, and each year thereafter, the 'Federal share' for any State shall be 100 per centum less that percentage which bears the same ratio to 50 per centum as the per capita income of such State bear's to the per capita income of the continental United States (excluding Alaska), except that (1) in no case shall the Federal share be less than 331/3 per centum or more than 66% per centum, and (2) the Federal share shall be 50 per centum in the case of Alaska and 66% per centum in the case of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam.

Such promulgation shall be conclusive for each of the two fiscal years in the period beginning July 1 next succeeding such promulgation: Provided, That the Secretary shall promulgate such Federal shares and allotment percentages as soon as possible after the enactment of the Social Security Amendments of 1958, which promulgation shall be conclusive for each of the 3 fiscal years in the period ending June 30, 1961.

"SEC. 525. The amount of any allotment to a State under section 522 for any fiscal year which the state certifies to the Secretary will not be required for carrying out the State plan developed as provided in such section shall be available for reallotment from time to time, on such dates as the Secretary may fix, to other States which the Secretary determines (1) have need in carrying out their State plans so developed for sums in excess of those previously allotted to them under that section and (2) will be able to use such excess amounts during such fiscal year. Such reallotments shall be made on the basis of the State plans so developed, after taking into consideration the population under the age of twenty-one, and the per capita income of each such State as compared with the population under the age of twentyone, and the per capita income of all such States with respect to which such a determination by the Secretary has been made. Any amount so reallotted to a State shall be deemed part of its allotment under section 522." MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH
