AN ACT making an appropriation to the department of law for the  purpose
  of investigating and prosecuting public fraud and corruption

all  crimes  committed  within the city of Albany, it is imperative that
the Albany county district attorney has adequate resources  to  investi-

Albany county  district  attorney  to  ensure  that  the  Albany  county
district  attorney's  office  has  the  assistance  it may need from the
department of law. The  legislature  further  notes  that  such  collab-
oration,  to  be  effective,  will  require  an  adequate  allocation of
