The state does further pledge to, and agree with, the United States that, if any federal agency constructs or contributes any funds for the completion, extension, or improvement of the system or any part or portion thereof, the state will not alter or limit the rights and powers of the authority and the department in any manner which would be inconsistent with the continued maintenance and operation of the system or the completion, extension, or improvement thereof or which would be inconsistent with the due performance of any agreements between the authority and any such federal agency. The authority and the department shall continue to have and may exercise all powers herein granted so long as necessary or desirable for the carrying out of the purposes of this part and the purposes of the United States in the completion, extension, or improvement of the system or any part or portion thereof.
