11    total  amount  of $8,805,508,392 $8,146,008,392 herein called
12    "Bonds".
13        Of the total amount of  bonds  authorized  above,  up  to
14    $2,200,000,000 $1,700,000,000 in aggregate original principal
15    amount  may  be  issued  and  sold  in  accordance  with  the

22        The issuance and sale of Bonds pursuant  to  the  General

25    permit  the  issuance  of  a multi-purpose General Obligation
26    Bond with uniform terms and features.   This  will  not  only
27    lower  the  cost  of registration but also reduce the overall
28    cost of  issuing  debt  by  improving  the  marketability  of
29    Illinois General Obligation Bonds.
30        Bonds  shall  be  issued  for the categories and specific
