- Undertake economic and fiscal studies which the Governor

					 consideration such issues as land-use patterns and environmental factors as
					 well as considerations of possible increased income and employment;
- Study and make such recommendations as may be appropriate
					 to the Governor on local and regional economic and fiscal policies and on
					 Federal economic and fiscal policies as they may affect New York State;
- Consult with State planning and economic development
					 organizations to ensure coordination among programs;
- Receive and disburse funds made available to the State

					 act or acts;
- Determine, subject to the jurisdiction of the Governor,
					 priorities for the use of such funds and allocations of such funds for
					 specified purposes;

					 Planning Services and the Secretary of State and nine members to be appointed

Rescission of Prior Order, Effective Date and
					 Transfer Provisions
Executive Order Number 30 dated November 13, 1968,
					 establishing the Council of Economic Advisers is hereby rescinded effective
					 March 19, 1975. On such date all the functions powers and duties possessed by
					 the Council of Economic Advisers created under such Order shall be transferred

					 remaining unexpended or unencumbered balances thereof whether allocated or
					 unallocated and whether obligated or unobligated, shall be transferred to and
					 made available for use by the New York State Economic Development Board for the
