  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Legislative findings and intent.   The  legislature  hereby
recognizes  Robert  F. Kennedy by naming after him a span of the Tribor-
ough bridge, as a tribute befitting his  historic  contribution  to  the
state  of  New  York  and  the nation. Robert F. Kennedy represented the
state of New York in the United States Senate  with  great  distinction,
from  1965  until  his  untimely  death  in  1968, working tirelessly to
improve the lives of New Yorkers, fighting  poverty  and  advancing  the
civil  rights movement. The state of New York and our entire nation were
further enriched by Robert F. Kennedy's  prior  service  as  the  sixty-
fourth Attorney General of the United States, and trusted advisor to the
President.  Common throughout his many works was an effort to bridge the
gaps among persons of diverse racial, ethnic and  economic  backgrounds.
Accordingly,  the  legislature  hereby  names the span of the Triborough
bridge which stretches over the East river from the borough of Queens to
Ward's Island the Robert F.  Kennedy bridge.
  The legislature further recognizes Dr. Martin  Luther  King,  Jr.,  in
this  forty-third  year  following  his  tragic assassination, by naming
after him a span of the Triborough bridge, as a  tribute  befitting  his
historic  contributions  to  the nation.   Dr. King worked tirelessly to
improve the lives of the citizens of this country, fighting  segregation
and  discrimination  through non-violent protest and advancing the civil
rights movement, until his untimely death in 1968. The state of New York
and our entire nation were enriched by Dr.  King's  dedication,  example
