The project for hurricane-flood protection and beach erosion control at East Rockaway Inlet to Rockaway Inlet and Jamaica Bay, New York, authorized by the Flood Control Act of 1965 (79 Stat. 1073), is hereby modified to authorize the Secretary of the Army, acting through the Chief of Engineers, to commence work on the beach erosion control aspect of the project, independently of the hurricane-flood protection aspect of the project.
