funded at the lowest levels per migrant (including depend-
ents) so as to fund the largest number of programs possible

such that each grantee or contractor funded at a level
of less than $19.74 per migrant and dependent shall be
increased by an equal percentage of the amount by which
such grantee’s or contractor’s funding, including the
increases under subparagraph (A) above, falls below $19.74
per migrant and dependent, within its State.

basis to all migrant grantees and contractors funded below

515 shall be deemed to be ‘‘1994’’ unless subparagraph (2)
or (3) applies;
(2) subparagraph 1, except that, if a Board of eleven Direc-
tors is nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate,
