President Ford is expected to sign a bill this week that would transfer the deed for the Bennett St. MBTA yards from the federal government to the state.
State Rep. Thomas H. Mahoney of Cambridge, vice chairman of the Joint Committee on Urban Affairs, said yesterday, "I'm quite sure the President will sign it. It's a routine type of bill."
The bill, which was sponsored by Sen. Abraham Ribicoff, (D-Connecticut), chairman of the Government Operations Committee, passed through Congress last week and reached the White House yesterday.
The Congress held little debate on the bill.
Next week, Mahoney's committee will conduct a hearing on a state bill that would turn five acres of the land into a park honoring Kennedy, and 4.2 acres into a commercial center.
The bill also proposes that Harvard buy seven-tenths of an acre as a new site for the Kennedy School of Government and the Institute of Politics.
