Whenever properly approved claims payable out of the State Park Grant and Gift Fund or any other fund or account used by the Division for a project of capital construction exceed the amount which is available in such fund or account, and the project is financed in part by money to be made available to the Division by the United States or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, the State Controller may transfer temporarily from the State General Fund to such fund or account an amount required to pay those claims but not more than the amount collectible from the United States for the particular project.
