This paper investigates an operational inconsistency between the constrained priority rationing scheme introduced by Manove in 1973 and the criterion used to determine an "optimal" priority matrix. A truncation of the optimality criterion is suggested in order to resolve this inconsistency and also reduce a potential source of bias against final demand.
