         Federal funds, then either party shall have the right immediately to reopen

         negotiations with respect to a substitute for such Article, section or portion
         of this Agreement involved.  The parties agree to use their best efforts to

         may be reopened at the option of CSEA or the State, and renegotiated. In

         During  the course of any reopened negotiations any provision  of this
         Agreement not affected by such reopener shall remain in full force and

         effect.
