App.A:9-35 .  Co-operation with state and federal authorities;  federal emergency or defense assistance;  agreements
    (a) In carrying out the provisions of this act the Governor shall cooperate  with the civil, military and naval authorities of the United States and of  other States for the purpose of enforcing the defense and emergency policies of  the Federal Government and shall conform to the laws, orders, rules and  regulations of the civilian, military and naval authorities of the Federal  Government.

    (b) The Governor or his designated representative is hereby authorized to enter into such agreements with the Federal Government or an agency thereof as he shall deem necessary to obtain available emergency or defense assistance from the Federal Government or its agencies and to do all other acts or things necessary or convenient to secure such assistance.  The Governor shall not commit the State to any financial obligation except to the extent of available appropriations, provided, however, that any such agreement may specify (1) that  the State will agree to hold and save the United States free from damages which  may arise out of the construction, repairs, improvements or rehabilitation, and  the maintenance of works and projects undertaken by the Federal Government or  its agencies in connection with any such agreement, other than claims arising  from the tortious acts of agents or employees of the Federal Government and (2)  that the State will provide, free of cost to the United States, all lands,  easements, rights-of-way and other areas within the State of New Jersey  required in connection with the project undertaken by the Federal Government or  its agencies in respect of such agreement, and for the maintenance thereafter of such project.  Any such provisions to hold and save the Federal Government  free from damages shall not be construed to waive the sovereign immunity of the  State in any situation wherein such immunity would otherwise be present.  Such  sums as may be required, whether in payment of the cost of necessary legal  proceedings, as compensation to property owners, or in furtherance of the  provisions herein authorized for such agreements, shall be charged against any  special or emergency appropriation made by the Legislature in connection with  the project which is the subject matter of the agreement with the Federal  Government or its agencies.
