WHEREAS, armories in Dagsboro and Seaford are now under construction pursuant to a cost sharing grant of the United States Government; and
WHEREAS, under the policy of the United States Government making grants to states, it is required by the Federal Government that the states first spend the money before the Federal Government will reimburse such a state for the money so expended; and
WHEREAS, the Adjutant General of the State of Delaware does not currently have available sufficient funds to pay the contractors constructing said armories as the work progresses; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary for the Adjutant General of the State of Delaware to temporarily obtain money in order to keep payments current so that the United States Government may reimburse the State of Delaware for such expenditures; NOW, THEREFORE,
