STATE ADMINISTRATION OF INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BOND
CEILING CONTROL

WHEREAS, the Congress of the United States has enacted the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984 (the "Act"), which act, inter alia imposes an annual limitation in every state on the ability of governmental units to issue certain industrial development bonds and student loan bonds ("Private Activity Bonds") that will bear interest which is exempt from Federal income taxation; and

WHEREAS, the current limitation in every state on the ability of governmental units to issue tax-exempt Private Activity Bonds is the greater of (a) $200,000,000 or (b) an amount equal to $150 multiplied by the state's population (the "State Ceiling"); and

WHEREAS, by Executive Order 84-20, issued August 8, 1984, the Governor of the state of Washington, in accordance with Section 621 of the Act and Section 103(n)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended (the "Code"), proclaimed a formula for allocating the State Ceiling among all governmental units in the state of Washington having authority to issue Private Activity Bonds ("Issuers"); and

WHEREAS, under Executive Order 84-20, the State Ceiling is allocated among Issuers in the order of the date of their filing with the Department of Commerce and Economic Development of purchase agreements or similar binding commitments for the purchase of Private Activity Bonds; and

WHEREAS, as of the date of this Executive Order, it appears that the amount of the State Ceiling during 1984 will exceed the aggregate amount of Private Activity Bonds issued during 1984; and

WHEREAS, under Section 621 of the Act and Section 103(n)(10) of the Code, an Issuer may elect to carry forward any of its unused allocation of the State Ceiling for any calendar year for one or more carryforward projects ("Carryforward Projects"); and

WHEREAS, it is necessary to amend Executive Order 84-20 to allocate a portion of the 1984 State Ceiling to Issuers having Carryforward Projects to enable those Issuers to elect to carry portions of the 1984 State Ceiling forward into future years; and

WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of the welfare of the residents of the state of Washington to enable Issuers to carry forward portions of the 1984 State Ceiling into future years in order both to further the ability of Issuers to finance public improvements and to promote industrial and economic development;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, John Spellman, Governor of the state of Washington, do hereby order:
