New Jersey Statutes Title 32. Interstate and Port Authorities and Commissions 32 § 1-35.27e

a. The States of New York and New Jersey hereby find and determine that there can be no further delay in the selection of sites for the establishment by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey of additional air terminals serving the Port of New York district.

b. Having given due consideration to all competing aspects of site selection, it is the judgment of the two states that it is in the public interest to authorize the establishment of one terminal in the State of New York and one terminal in the State of New Jersey, each such terminal to be at a site to be approved by the governor of the state in which such terminal is to be located.
