authorization for reimbursement; and (b) when the federal government denies reimbursement after approval for reimbursement of any contract.

Prior to the obligation of any funds for costs other than consultants or land acquisition, the Governor and the Mayor of New York City shall enter into a written agreement concerning future funding for Westway and the Governor shall provide copies of such agreement to the temporary president of the senate and the speaker of the assembly. Such agreement shall include funding sources (state, city or other sources) for any items in the future that may not be federally reimbursed and for the local match for items reimbursed from other than the federal aid interstate highway program.

"Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, the comptroller shall create a separate account within the federal capital projects fund for the purposes of this appropriation. The comptroller shall record all receipts credited to such account from federal reimbursements for Westway capital purposes."

The language added by the Legislature, to which I object and do not approve, could inhibit the State's ability to proceed with construction of the Westway highway project. The new provisions would reduce management flexibility, establish unproductive administrative steps, and impose new obstacles to project construction. These additional measures could delay completion of the project and consequently increase construction costs, defer improvement of traffic congestion on the west side of Manhattan, and retard the opening of the Westway State Park. This language may also have the unintended result of actually impeding the State's efforts to maximize reimbursement from the Federal government for project expenditures.

"Section 4. Notwithstanding any provisions of sections sixty-two hundred seventy-one and sixty-two hundred seventy-three and subdivision (c) of section sixty-two hundred seventy-six of the education law, to the contrary, the city university construction fund is authorized to cause to be designed, constructed, operated, furnished and equipped a student housing facility at Brooklyn college. The use of the facility shall shall be extended to students who are single heads of households and their families. The operating expenses of said facility shall be financed entirely from receipts from rentals and fees charged for programs operating in said facility. The provisions of this section shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the expiration of the nineteen hundred eighty-five--nineteen hundred eighty-six fiscal year on March thirty-first, nineteen hundred eighty-six."

This language, to which I object and do not approve, would permit the construction of a dormitory at Brooklyn College of City University by a procedure that preempts several significant provisions of the Education Law dealing with the City University Construction Fund. In particular, the language eliminates the requirement that the facility be included in the Master Plan of the City University and may abrogate abrogate the provison that receipts from dormitory rentals and fees be used for debt service

as well as operation costs. The Master Plan process is specifically designed to provide for the involvement of the University Trustees, the Regents and the Governor in matters dealing with the expansion and development of higher education in the State. I see no reason to exempt this facility from the Master Plan process.
