      abstract = {Thirty-nine Federal programs enabled substate regional  organizations to provide technical, managerial, and program  assistance to local governments during 1977-79.  Many of  the programs were available nationally, but a large number  imposed limitations on the eligibility of the various  regions and substate areas.  Five criteria guided the  selection of the programs that are reviewed: (1) Federal  connection, (2) multicounty area focus, (3) planning and  policy development focus, (4) local control, and (5)  continuing nature.},
