ness  formation and growth in New York state and to facilitate the tran-
sition from ideas and research to marketable  products.  Funds  will  be

developed by the urban development  corporation  and  submitted  to  the
director  of  the division of the budget, the temporary president of the
senate, the speaker of the assembly, the minority leader of  the  senate
and  the minority leader of the assembly.  No funds shall be transferred

ted.  OF THE AMOUNTS TRANSFERRED TO THE CORPORATION  FOR  THE  NEW  YORK
