legislation (other than legislation appropriating funds) in
order for the plan to meet the additional requirements im-
posed by the amendments made by this Act, the State plan
shall not be regarded as failing to comply with the require-
ments of such part solely on the basis of the failure of the

gins after the date of enactment of this Act. For purposes
