    TITLE 42 - THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE
    CHAPTER 9 - HOUSING OF PERSONS ENGAGED IN NATIONAL DEFENSE
    SUBCHAPTER I - PROJECTS GENERALLY

-HEAD-
    Sec. 1502. Initiation and development of projects; jurisdiction;
      acquisition of property; fees of architects, engineers, etc.

-STATUTE-
      (a) Projects may be initiated under this subchapter by the
    Department of the Navy or Army or the Air Force to provide
    dwellings on or near naval or military reservations, posts or bases
    for rental to the officers, enlisted men and employees of the
    Departments of the Navy, Army, and Air Force described in section
    1501 of this title. Such projects shall be developed by the
    Department of the Navy or Army or the Air Force or by the Secretary
    of Housing and Urban Development, whichever the President
    determines is better suited to the fulfillment of the purposes of
    this subchapter with respect to any particular project. If the
    development of such project is to be undertaken by the Department
    of the Navy or Army or Air Force, the Secretary of Housing and
    Urban Development is authorized to aid the development of the
    project by furnishing technical assistance and by transferring to
    such Department the funds necessary for the development of the
    project. Any project developed for the purpose of this section
    shall be leased to the Department of the Navy or Army or Air Force
    by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (who shall have
    title to such project until repayment of the cost thereof to the
    Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as prescribed in such
    lease) upon such terms as shall be prescribed in the lease, which
    may be the same terms as are authorized by the United States
    Housing Act of 1937 [42 U.S.C. 1437 et seq.], with respect to
    leases to public housing agencies. All the provisions of said Act
    which apply to the development of projects by the Secretary of
    Housing and Urban Development shall (insofar as applicable and not
    inconsistent herewith) apply to the development of projects by the
    Department of the Navy or Army or Air Force. Notwithstanding other
    provisions of this or any other law, the Department leasing a
    project shall have the same jurisdiction over such project as it
    has over the reservation, post or base in connection with which the
    project is developed.
      (b) The Department of the Navy or Army or Air Force, in
    connection with any project developed or leased by it, and the
    Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, in connection with any
    project developed or assisted by him, for the purposes of this
    subchapter, may acquire real or personal property or any interest
    therein by purchase, eminent domain, gift, lease or otherwise. The
    provisions of sections 3111 and 3112 of title 40 shall not apply to
    the acquisition of any real property by the Department of the Navy
    or Army or Air Force or by the Secretary of Housing and Urban
    Development for the purposes of this subchapter or to the project
    developed thereon, and the provisions of section 1302 of title 40,
    shall not apply to any lease of any project developed for the
    purposes of this subchapter or of any dwelling therein.
    Condemnation proceedings instituted by the Secretary of Housing and
    Urban Development shall be in the Secretary's own name and the
    practice and procedure governing such proceedings by the United
    States shall be followed, and the Secretary of Housing and Urban
    Development shall likewise be entitled to proceed in accordance
    with the provisions of sections 3114 to 3116 and 3118 of title 40
    and an Act of Congress approved March 1, 1929 (45 Stat. 1415).(!1)
    If the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development acquires land in
    connection with a project to be assisted for the purposes of this
    subchapter, the Secretary may convey such land to the public
    housing agency involved for a consideration equal to the cost of
    the land to the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. The
    Departments of the Navy, Army, and Air Force and the Secretary of
    Housing and Urban Development may negotiate, contract and fix such
    fees as they determine are reasonable for the services of
    architects, engineers, surveyors, appraisers, title examiners and
    real estate negotiators in connection with specific projects
    developed by them under this subchapter. The Secretaries of Navy,
    Army, and Air Force are authorized to make available to the
    Secretary of Housing and Urban Development any land that is needed
    for a project to be developed by the Secretary of Housing and Urban
    Development and leased to the Department of the Navy or Army or Air
    Force and to execute such leases, agreements and other instruments
    with the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as may be
    necessary to carry out the purposes of this subchapter.

-STATUTE-
      In any localities where the President determines that there is an
    acute shortage of housing which impedes the national defense
    program and that the necessary housing would not otherwise be
    provided when needed for persons engaged in national defense
    activities, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development may

    and their families, or the Secretary of Housing and Urban
    Development may extend financial assistance of public housing
    agencies for the development and administration of such projects.
    Such financial assistance to public housing agencies shall be
    extended (except as otherwise provided herein and not inconsistent
    herewith) under the provisions of, and in the same manner and forms
    as provided in, title I (!1) of the United States Housing Act of

    (a) Mandatory transfers
      Upon the filing of a request therefor as herein prescribed, the
    Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall (subject to the
    provisions of this section) relinquish and transfer, without
    monetary consideration, to any State or political subdivision
    thereof, local housing authority, local public agency, nonprofit
    organization, or educational institution, all contractual rights
    (including the right to revenues and other proceeds) and all
    property right, title, and interest of the United States in and
    with respect to (1) any temporary housing located on land owned or
    controlled by such transferee and in which the United States has no
    leasehold or other property interest, and (2) housing materials
    which have been made available to the transferee by the Secretary
    of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to section 1572 of this
    title.
    (b) Transfer to provide housing for parents of deceased World War
      II servicemen
      Upon the filing of a request therefor as herein prescribed, the
    Secretary of Housing and Urban Development may (subject to the
    provisions of this section) relinquish and transfer, without
    monetary consideration other than that specifically required by
    this subsection, to any State, county, municipality, or local
    housing authority, or to any educational institution where the
    housing involved is being operated for its student veterans or
    where the land underlying the housing is in the ownership of two or
    more educational institutions, or to any other local public agency
    or nonprofit organization where the housing involved has been made
    available by the United States to such agency or organization
    pursuant to section 1572 of this title or where the Secretary of
    Housing and Urban Development determines that the housing involved
    is urgently needed by parents of persons who served in the Armed
    forces at any time on or after September 16, 1940, and prior to
    July 26, 1947, or on or after June 27, 1950, and prior to such date
    thereafter as shall be determined by the President and died of
    service-connected illness or injury (in which case the preferences
    in subsection (d)(1) of this section shall not apply), all right,
    title, and interest of the United States in and with respect to any
    temporary housing (excluding commercial facilities which the
    Secretary of Housing and Urban Development determines are suitable
    for separate disposal and community facilities which the Secretary
    of Housing and Urban Development determines should be disposed of
    separately) located on land in which the United States has a
    property interest through ownership, lease, or otherwise, under the
    following conditions:
        (1) If the land is owned by the United States and under the
      jurisdiction of the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development,
      the transferee shall have purchased such land from the Secretary
      of Housing and Urban Development at a price substantially equal
      to the cost to the United States of the land (including survey,
      title examination, and other similar expenses incident to
      acquisition but excluding the cost or value of all improvements
      thereto by the United States other than extraordinary fill), or,
      if the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development determines the
      amount of such cost to be nominal or not readily ascertainable,
      at a price which the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
      determines to be fair and reasonable. Payment for such land shall
      be made in full at the time of sale or in not more than ten equal
      annual installments (the first of which shall be paid within one
      year from the date of conveyance) all of which shall be secured
      as determined by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
      with interest from the date of conveyance at the going Federal
      rate of interest at the time of conveyance.
        (2) If the land is owned by the United States and not under the
      jurisdiction of the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development,
      the transferee shall have purchased such land from the Federal
      agency having jurisdiction thereof. The Federal agency having
      jurisdiction of any such land is authorized to sell and convey
      the same to any such transferee on the terms authorized herein
      except that the determinations required to be made by the
      Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall be made by the
      agency having jurisdiction of such land.
        (3) If the United States does not own the land but has an
      interest therein through lease or otherwise, the transferee shall
      (i) where it is not the landowner, obtain the right to possession
      of such land for a term satisfactory to the Secretary of Housing
      and Urban Development, (ii) obtain from the landowner a release
      (or, if the transferee is the landowner, furnish a release) of
      the United States from all liability in connection therewith,
      including any liability for removal of structures or restoration
      of the land, except for any rental or use payment due at the time
      of transfer, and (iii) reimburse the United States for the
      proportionate amount of any payments made by the United States
      for the right to use the land and for taxes or payments in lieu
      of taxes for any period extending beyond the time of the
      transfer, and (iv) if the interest of the United States is not
      under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of Housing and Urban
      Development, the transferee shall obtain a transfer or release of
      the interest of the United States from the Federal agency having
      jurisdiction, which transfers and releases by such Federal
      agencies are authorized on such terms as the head of the
      respective agency determines to be in the public interest.
    (c) Requests for relinquishment and transfer
      The filing of a request under subsections (a), (b), (g), or (h)
    of this section must be made on or before June 30, 1953, unless the
    Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall, in any specific
    case, authorize the filing of a request subsequent to such date but
    on or before June 30, 1951, and, in any such case, the Secretary of
    Housing and Urban Development may extend, for a specified period
    not beyond December 31, 1951, the time hereinafter prescribed for
    complying with all conditions to the relinquishment or transfer.
    Such request shall be in the form of a resolution adopted by the
    governing body of the applicant, except that, in the case of a
    State, such request may be in the form of a written request from
    the governor, and, in the case of a local housing authority (other
    than the Alaska Housing Authority), or a local public agency
    organized specifically and solely for the purpose of slum clearance
    and community redevelopment, shall be accompanied by a resolution
    of the governing body of the municipality or county approving the
    request for transfer. Such request shall be accompanied by either
    (1) a final opinion of the chief law officer or legal counsel of
    the applicant to the effect that it has legal authority to make the
    request, to accept the transfer of and operate any property
    involved, and to perform its obligations under this subchapter, or
    (2) a preliminary opinion of such officer or counsel concerning the
    legal authority of the applicant with respect to the proposed
    relinquishment or transfer including a statement of the reasons for
    not furnishing the final opinion with the request and the time
    required to furnish such opinion. If a request has been submitted
    as herein provided, the applicant shall comply with all conditions
    to the relinquishment or transfer (including the furnishing of the
    final legal opinion) on or before June 30, 1953: Provided, That, in
    any case where the applicant is unable to comply with all
    conditions to the relinquishment or transfer because of the need
    for the enactment of State legislation or charter amendment, such
    date shall be June 30, 1952, and may be extended by the Secretary
    of Housing and Urban Development, upon request in a particular
    case, to December 31, 1952. The Secretary of Housing and Urban
    Development shall act as promptly as practicable on any request
    which complies with the provisions of this section and is supported
    as herein required, and shall as promptly as practicable arrange
    for the making of any survey or the performance of other work
    necessary to the transfer: Provided, That, notwithstanding the
    provisions of this section, the Secretary of Housing and Urban
    Development may at any time, except with respect to housing for
    which a request has been or may be submitted under subsection (a)
    of this section, remove, dispose of, or retain any temporary
    housing, or part thereof, in accordance with any provision of
    subchapters II to VII of this chapter.
    (d) Representations by transferee as to use of property;
      preferences
      No relinquishment or transfer with respect to temporary housing
    shall be made under this section unless the transferee represents
    in its request therefor that it proposes, to the extent permitted
    by law:
        (1) As among eligible applicants for occupancy in dwellings of
      given sizes and at specified rents, to extend the following
      preferences in the selection of tenants:
          First, to families which are to be displaced by any low-rent
        housing project or by any public slum-clearance or
        redevelopment project initiated after January 1, 1947, or which
        were so displaced within three years prior to making
        application for admission to such housing; and as among such
        families first preference shall be given to families of
        disabled veterans whose disability has been determined by the
        Secretary of Veterans Affairs to be service-connected, and
        second preference shall be given to families of deceased
        veterans and servicemen whose death has been determined by the
        Secretary of Veterans Affairs to be service-connected, and
        third preference shall be given to families of other veterans
        and servicemen;
          Second, to families of other veterans and servicemen; and as
        among such families first preference shall be given to families
        of disabled veterans whose disability has been determined by

        second preference shall be given to families of deceased
        veterans and servicemen whose death has been determined by the
        Secretary of Veterans Affairs to be service-connected:
        Provided, That if the transferee is an educational institution
        it may limit such preferences to student veterans and
        servicemen, and their families, and may, in lieu of such
        preferences, make available to veterans or servicemen and their
        families accommodations in any housing of the institution equal
        in number to the accommodations relinquished or transferred to
        it: And provided further, That, notwithstanding such
        preferences, if the transferee is a State, political
        subdivision, local housing authority, or local public agency,
        it will, in filling vacancies in housing transferred under
        subsection (b) of this section, give such preferences to
        military personnel and persons engaged in national defense or
        mobilization activities as the Secretary of Defense or his
        designee prescribes to such transferee.

        (2) Not to dispose of any right, title, or interest in the
      property (by sale, transfer, grant, exchange, mortgage, lease,
      release, termination of the leasehold, or any other
      relinquishment of interest) either (i) for housing use on the
      present site or on any other site except to a State or political
      subdivision thereof, local housing authority, a local public
      agency, or an educational or eleemosynary institution, or (ii)
      for any other use unless the governing body of the municipality
      or county shall have adopted a resolution determining that, on
      the basis of local need and acceptability, the structures
      involved are satisfactory for such use and need not be removed:
      Provided, That this representation will not apply to any disposal
      through demolition for salvage, lease to tenants for residential
      occupancy, or lease of nondwelling facilities for the continuance
      of a use existing on the date of transfer, or where such disposal
      is the result of a bona fide foreclosure or other proceeding to
      enforce rights given as security for a loan to pay for land under
      this section: And provided further, That nothing contained in
      this paragraph shall be construed as applicable to the
      disposition of any land or interest therein after the removal of
      the structures therefrom.
        (3) To manage and operate the property involved in accordance
      with sound business practices, including the establishment of
      adequate reserves.
        (4) Whenever the structures involved, or a substantial portion
      thereof, are terminated for housing use and are not to be used
      for a specific nonhousing use, to promptly demolish such
      structures terminated for housing use and clear the site thereof.
    (e) Waiver of removal requirements
      Any relinquishment or transfer by the Secretary of Housing and
    Urban Development under this section shall constitute a waiver of
    the requirements of section 1553 of this title (and any contractual
    obligations pursuant thereto) for removing the housing involved if
    the request for such relinquishment or transfer was made, as
    authorized herein, by the governing body of the municipality or
    county, or by the local housing authority, or, in other cases, if,
    prior to or within six months after the date of the relinquishment
    or transfer, there is filed with the Secretary of Housing and Urban
    Development a resolution of such governing body specifically
    approving (1) the unconditional waiver of such requirements or (2)
    the waiver of such requirements subject to conditions specified in
    the resolution. Any such conditions shall not affect the waiver of
    removal requirements hereunder, and the United States shall assume
    no responsibility for compliance therewith.
    (f) Disposition of net revenue and proceeds; transfer charges
      In any relinquishment or transfer under this section, the net
    revenues and other proceeds from such housing to which the United
    States is entitled on the basis of periodic settlements shall
    continue to accrue to the United States until the end of the month
    in which the relinquishment or transfer is made, and the obligation
    of the transferee to pay such accrued amounts shall not be affected
    by this section. The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development may
    charge to the transferee the cost to the United States of any
    survey, title information, or other item incidental to the
    transfer.
    (g) Transfers for slum clearance and community redevelopment
      projects
      Upon the filing of a request therefor as herein prescribed, the
    Secretary of Housing and Urban Development may (subject to the
    provisions of this section) relinquish and transfer, without
    monetary consideration other than payment for land involved as
    specifically required by subsection (b) of this section, to any
    local public agency organized specifically and solely for the
    purpose of slum clearance and community redevelopment in a
    municipality in which the total number of persons, who on December
    31, 1948, were living in temporary family accommodations provided
    by the United States or any agency thereof since September 8, 1939,
    exceeded the total population of such municipality as shown by the
    1940 census, all right, title, and interest of the United States in
    and with respect to any temporary housing located in such
    municipality under the conditions set forth in subsection (b) of
    this section. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (b) of
    this section, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall
    not relinquish or transfer any right, title, or interest of the
    United States in and with respect to any temporary housing situated
    in such a municipality except as set forth in this subsection if at
    the time of the relinquishment or transfer there is in existence in
    such a municipality a local public agency organized specifically
    and solely for the purpose of slum clearance and community
    redevelopment.
    (h) Transfers of temporary housing of masonry construction
      Upon the filing of a request therefor as herein prescribed, the
    Secretary of Housing and Urban Development may (subject to the
    provisions of this section except the provisions of subsection (d)
    of this section) relinquish and transfer to any municipality,
    without monetary consideration other than payment for the land
    involved as specifically required by subsection (b) of this
    section, all right, title, and interest of the United States in and
    with respect to unoccupied temporary housing of masonry
    construction located in such municipality: Provided, That such
    housing has been wholly or partially stripped of trim and fixtures
    prior to April 20, 1950 and the municipality adopts a resolution
    determining that the structures, with proposed improvements, will
    be suitable for long-term housing use.

      Secretary's control; temporary housing exempted; preference in
      fulfilling vacancies

-STATUTE-
      With respect to temporary housing remaining under the
    jurisdiction of the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development on
    land under his control, the Secretary of Housing and Urban
    Development shall (1) permit vacancies, occurring or continuing
    after July 1, 1953, to be filled only by transfer of tenants of
    other accommodations in the same locality being removed as required
    by subchapters II to VII of this chapter; (2) notify, on or before
    March 31, 1954, all tenants to vacate the premises prior to July 1,
    1954; (3) promptly after July 1, 1954, cause actions to be
    instituted to evict any tenants still remaining; and (4) remove (by
    demolition or otherwise) all dwelling structures as soon as
    practicable after they become vacant: Provided, That in any case
    where a request for relinquishment or transfer has been filed
    pursuant to section 1581 of this title and where under the
    provisions of section 1581(c) of this title the date for compliance
    with all conditions to the relinquishment or transfer shall have
    been extended, each of the foregoing dates shall be extended for a
    period of time equal to the period of the extension under section
    1581(c) of this title: And provided further, That nothing
    heretofore in this section shall apply (1) to any temporary housing
    in any municipality in which the total number of persons, who on
    December 31, 1948, were living in temporary family accommodations
    provided by the United States or any agency thereof since September
    8, 1939, exceeds 30 per centum of the total population of such
    municipality as shown by the 1940 census, nor (2) to any temporary
    housing as to which the local governing body has adopted a
    resolution as provided in section 1582(c) of this title, nor (3) to
    any temporary housing for which a request has been submitted in
    accordance with section 1581(b) of this title, but which has not
    been relinquished or transferred solely because the applicant has
    been unable to obtain from the landowner the right to possession of
    the land on reasonable terms as determined by the Secretary of
    Housing and Urban Development: Provided, That, in filling vacancies
    in such housing, the preferences set forth in section 1581(d)(1) of
    this title shall be applicable and that families within such
    preference classes shall be eligible for admission to such housing,
    nor (4) to any temporary housing in which accommodations have been
    reserved, prior to the enactment of this section, for veterans
    attending an educational institution if (i) such institution
    certifies that the accommodations are urgently needed for such
    veterans and submits facts showing, to the satisfaction of the
    Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, that all reasonable
    efforts have been made by the institution to find other
    accommodations for them and (ii) such institution agrees to

    TITLE 42 - THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE
    CHAPTER 9 - HOUSING OF PERSONS ENGAGED IN NATIONAL DEFENSE
    SUBCHAPTER VII - DISPOSAL OF WAR AND VETERANS' HOUSING

-HEAD-
    Sec. 1585. Acquisition of housing sites

-STATUTE-
    (a) Lease, condemnation or purchase; temporary housing
      The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development may continue by
    lease or condemnation any interest less than a fee simple in lands
    heretofore acquired by the Secretary of Housing and Urban
    Development for national defense or war housing or for veterans'
    housing (whether of permanent or temporary character), or held by
    any Federal agency in connection therewith, and may acquire, by
    purchase or condemnation, a fee simple title to or lesser interest
    in any such lands if the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
    determines that the acquisition of such fee simple or lesser
    interest is necessary to protect the Government's investment or to
    maintain the improvements constructed thereon, or that the cost of
    fulfilling the Government's obligation to restore the property to
    its original condition would equal or exceed the cost of acquiring
    the title thereto.
      In any city in which, on March 1, 1953, there were more than ten
    thousand temporary housing units held by the United States of
    America, or any two contiguous cities in one of which there were on
    such date more than ten thousand temporary housing units so held,
    the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development may acquire, by
    purchase or condemnation, a fee simple title to any or all lands in
    which the Secretary holds a leasehold interest, or other interest
    less than a fee simple, acquired by the Federal Government for
    national defense or war housing or for veteran's housing where (1)
    the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development finds that the
    acquisition by the Secretary of a fee simple title in the land will
    tend to expedite the orderly disposal or removal of temporary
    housing under the Secretary's jurisdiction by facilitating the
    availability of improved sites for privately owned housing needed
    to replace such temporary housing, and will tend to expedite the
    transition of the city from a war-affected community containing, as
    of said date, a large number of temporary houses to a community
    having additional permanent, well-planned, residential
    neighborhoods, (2) the local governing body of the city makes a
    like finding and requests the Secretary of Housing and Urban
    Development to acquire such title to the land, and (3) the city has
    furnished assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of Housing and
    Urban Development that no individual who is employed by, or is an
    official of, the government of the city in which the land is
    located, or any agency thereof, shall be permitted, directly or
    indirectly, to have any financial interest in the purchase or
    redevelopment of such land: Provided, That such acquisitions by the
    Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to this
    sentence shall be limited to not exceeding four hundred and twenty-
    five acres of land in the general area in which approximately one
    thousand five hundred units of temporary housing held by the United
    States of America were unoccupied on said date: And provided
    further, That funds for such acquisition by the Secretary of
    Housing and Urban Development, which are authorized, pursuant to
    subsection (c) of this section and title II of the Independent
    Offices Appropriation Act, 1955, to be expended from the revolving
    fund established by section 1701g-5 of title 12, shall be taken
    into consideration, to the extent that they are needed, in making
    any determination pursuant to the second proviso under that
    section. All or any part of any land so acquired by the Secretary
    of Housing and Urban Development may, during the five year period
    following the date of its acquisition, be sold by the Secretary,
    through negotiated sale, to such city or any local public agency
    where (1) the city or local public agency has represented to the
    Secretary of Housing and Urban Development that it is duly
    authorized under State law to purchase and resell such land, that
    such land will be made available to private enterprise for
    development in accordance with local zoning and other laws, and
    that the aggregate of such land and any other land in the same city
    previously sold under the authority of this paragraph to the city
    or a local public agency will be developed for predominantly
    residential use, and (2) the city or local public agency has agreed
    to pay the fair market value of the land as determined by the
    Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, after giving
    consideration, among other relevant information, to the cost to the
    Federal Government of acquiring the fee simple title and of holding
    the land pending sale (including estimated amounts to cover legal
    and overhead expenses of such acquisition and to cover interest
    costs to the Federal Government of monies invested in the land
    pending sale). Any such negotiated sale of land to the city or a
    local public agency shall be made upon terms which require (1) that
    the city or public agency shall pay in cash at least one third of
    the price of the land upon its conveyance and the entire price
    within one year after its conveyance and (2) that any portion of
    the entire price not paid upon such conveyance shall be represented
    by an indebtedness which shall bear interest on outstanding
    balances at a rate of 4 per centum per annum and which shall be
    secured by a first mortgage lien upon the land or such portion of
    the land as the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development deems
    adequate to protect the financial interest of the Federal
    Government. The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development may, at
    any time that the Secretary deems it to be in the public interest
    to do so, dispose, under authority of other provisions of
    subchapters II to VII of this chapter, of any land acquired by the
    Secretary pursuant to this paragraph. Any land acquired by the
    Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to this
    paragraph which has not been disposed of within five years after
    its acquisition shall be disposed of by the Secretary as
    expeditiously as possible in the public interest in accordance with
    other authority contained in subchapters II to VII of this chapter.
    Notwithstanding the provisions of section 1546 of this title or any
    other provisions of law, no payments in lieu of taxes shall be made
    for any tax year beginning subsequent to the date of the
    acquisition of title to the property by the Secretary of Housing
    and Urban Development.
    (b) Land rentals
      In any case in which the Secretary of Housing and Urban
    Development holds, on or after April 1, 1950, an interest in land
    acquired by the Federal Government for national defense, war
    housing, or veterans' housing and where (1) the term of such
    interest (as prescribed in the taking or in the lease or other
    instruments) is for the "duration of the emergency" or "duration of
    the war", or "duration of the emergency" or "duration of the war"
    plus a specific period thereafter, or for some similarly prescribed
    term, and (2) the rental, award, or other consideration which the
    Federal Government is obligated to pay or furnish for such interest
    gives the owner of the land less than an annual return, after
    payment of real estate taxes, of 6 per centum of the lowest value
    placed on such land by an independent appraiser, hired by the
    Government to make such appraisal based on the value of the land
    before the acquisition of the Government's interest therein, plus
    100 per centum of such value, the Secretary of Housing and Urban
    Development shall, upon request of the owner of the land and,
    notwithstanding any existing contractual or other rights or
    obligations, increase the amount of future payments for such
    interest in order to give the owner of the land a return for the
    Government's use thereof not exceeding the 6 per centum annual
    return described in (2) of this subsection: Provided, That this
    subsection shall not affect any payment heretofore made or any
    future payment accepted by an obligee, nor shall this subsection
    limit the consideration which may be paid for the use of any land
    beyond the existing term of the Government's interest therein.
    (c) Reserve account; availability of moneys
      Notwithstanding any other provisions of law unless hereafter
    enacted expressly in limitation hereof, moneys shall be deposited
    in the reserve account established pursuant to subsections (a) and
    (b) of section 1543 of this title (which account is continued
    subject to the limitation as to amount specified in subsection (c)
    of section 1543 of this title) and all moneys deposited in such
    reserve account shall be and remain available for any or all of the
    purposes specified in said subsections (a) or (b) of section 1543
    of this title or in this section without regard to the time
    prescribed in subsection (c) of section 1543 of this title with
    respect to covering moneys in such account into miscellaneous
    receipts. Moneys in such reserve accounts shall also be available
    for the payment of necessary expenses (which shall be considered
    nonadministrative expenses) in connection with administering (1)
    transfers pursuant to section 1581 of this title, (2)
    redeterminations of the temporary or permanent character of
    demountable housing pursuant to section 1583 of this title, (3)
    changes in land tenure and revisions in the consideration payable
    to landowners pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) of this section,
    and (4) transfers of permanent war housing for low-rent use
    pursuant to section 1586 of this title. Moneys in such reserve
    account shall also be available for the purpose of making
    improvements to, or alterations of, any permanent housing or part
    thereof if (1) the dwelling structures therein are designed for
    occupancy by not more than four families and are to be sold
    separately and (2) such improvement or alteration is requested by
    the local governing body as a condition to the acceptance of the
    dedication of streets or utilities or is necessary for compliance
    with local law or regulation relating to the continued operation or
    occupancy of the housing by a purchaser.

      project shall be administered as low-rent housing in accordance
      with subsections 2(1) and 2(2) of the United States Housing Act
      of 1937 [42 U.S.C. 1402(1) and (2)]: Provided, That if at any
      time during such period the public housing agency and the
      Secretary of Housing and Urban Development agree that the
      project, or any part thereof, is no longer suitable for use as
      low-rent housing, the project, or part thereof, shall with the
      approval of the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development be
      sold by the public housing agency after which the agreement shall
      be deemed to have terminated with respect to such project or part
      thereof except that the proceeds from such sale, after payment of
      the reasonable expense thereof, shall be paid to the Secretary of
      Housing and Urban Development, or, with the Secretary's approval,
      used to finance the repair or rehabilitation of a project or part
      thereof conveyed to the public housing agency under this section;
        (2) the public housing agency shall, within six months
      following the conveyance, initiate a program for the removal of
      all families residing in the project on the date of conveyance
      who are ineligible under the provisions of the United States
      Housing Act of 1937 [42 U.S.C. 1437 et seq.] for continued
      occupancy therein, and shall have required such ineligible
      tenants to vacate their dwellings within eighteen months after
      the initiation of such program: Provided, That military personnel
      as designated by the Secretary of Defense or his designee shall
      not be subject to such removal until eighteen months after the
      date of conveyance;
        (3) annually during the term of such agreement, the public
      housing agency shall pay to the Secretary of Housing and Urban
      Development all income from the project remaining after deducting
      the amounts necessary (as determined pursuant to regulations of
      the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development) for (i) the
      payment of reasonable and proper costs of operating, maintaining,
      and approving such project, (ii) the payments in lieu of taxes
      authorized hereunder, (iii) the establishment and maintenance of
      reasonable and proper reserves as approved by the Secretary of
      Housing and Urban Development, and (iv) the payment of currently
      maturing installments of principal of and interest on any
      indebtedness incurred by such public housing agency with the
      approval of the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development:
      Provided, That the provisions of this paragraph shall not be
      applicable to any project which is consolidated under a single
      contract with one or more low-rent projects being assisted under
      the United States Housing Act of 1937 [42 U.S.C. 1437 et seq.],
      and all income from any such project conveyed under this section
      may be commingled with funds of the project or projects with
      which it is consolidated and applied in accordance with the
      requirements of the consolidated contract and the provisions of
      section 10(c) of the said Act [42 U.S.C. 1410(c)];
        (4) during the term of such agreement, the project shall be
      exempt from all real and personal property taxes levied or
      imposed by the State, city, county, or other political
      subdivisions;
        (5) for the tax year in which the conveyance is made and the
      next succeeding tax year annual payments in lieu of taxes may be
      made to the State, city, county, or other political subdivisions
      in amounts not in excess of the real property taxes which would
      be paid to such State, city, county, or other political
      subdivisions if the project were not exempt from taxation; and
      thereafter, during the term of such agreement, payments in lieu
      of taxes with respect to the project may be made in annual
      amounts which do not exceed 10 per centum of the annual shelter
      rents charged in such project;
        (6) in selecting tenants for such project, the public housing
      agency shall give such preferences as are prescribed by
      subsection 10(g) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 [42
      U.S.C. 1410g], except that for one year after the date of
      conveyance of a project, the public housing agency shall, to the
      extent permitted by law, give such preferences, by allocation or
      otherwise, to military personnel as the Secretary of Defense or
      his designee prescribes to the public housing agency; and
        (7) upon the occurrence of a substantial default in respect to
      the requirements and conditions to which the public housing
      agency is subject (as such substantial default shall be defined
      in such agreement), the public housing agency shall be obligated
      at the option of the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development,
      either to convey title in any case where, in the determination of
      the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, (which
      determination shall be final and conclusive), such conveyance of
      title is necessary to achieve the purposes of this subchapter and
      the United States Housing Act of 1937 [42 U.S.C. 1437 et seq.],
      or to deliver possession to the Secretary of Housing and Urban
      Development of the project, as then constituted, to which such
      agreement relates: Provided, That in the event of such conveyance
      of title or delivery of possession, the Secretary of Housing and
      Urban Development may improve and administer such project as low-
      rent housing, and otherwise deal with such housing or parts
      thereof, subject, however, to the limitations contained in the
      applicable provisions of the United States Housing Act of 1937.
      The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall be obligated
      to reconvey or to redeliver possession of the project, as
      constituted at the time of reconveyance or redelivery, to such
      public housing agency or to its successor (if such public housing
      agency or a successor exists) upon such terms as shall be
      prescribed in such agreement and as soon as practicable after the
      Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall be satisfied
      that all defaults with respect to the project have been cured,
      and that the project will, in order to fulfill the purposes of
      this subchapter and the United States Housing Act of 1937,
      thereafter be operated in accordance with the terms of such
      agreement. Any prior conveyances and reconveyances, deliveries
      and redeliveries of possession shall not exhaust the right to
      require a conveyance or delivery of possession of the project to
      the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to this
      paragraph upon the subsequent occurrence of a substantial
      default.
    (d) Disposition of payments
      At the end of each fiscal year, the total amount of payments
    during such year to the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
    in accordance with subsection (c) of this section shall be covered
    into the Treasury as miscellaneous receipts.

    SUBCHAPTER VII - DISPOSAL OF WAR AND VETERANS' HOUSING

-HEAD-
    Sec. 1587. Disposition of other permanent war housing

-STATUTE-
    (a) Public interest
      The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall, subject to
    the provisions of this section, dispose of permanent war housing,
    other than housing conveyed pursuant to section 1586 of this title,
    as promptly as practicable and in the public interest.
    (b) Preference in sales to individuals
      Preference in the purchase of any dwelling structure designed for
    occupancy by not more than four families and offered for separate
    sale shall be granted to occupants and to veterans over other
    prospective purchasers for such period as the Secretary of Housing
    and Urban Development may determine and in the following order:
        (1) a veteran who occupies a unit in the dwelling structure to
      be sold and who intends to continue to occupy such unit;
        (2) a nonveteran who occupies a unit in the dwelling structure
      to be sold and who intends to continue to occupy such unit;
        (3) a veteran who intends to occupy a unit in the dwelling
      structure to be sold.

      Subject to the above order of preference, the Secretary of
    Housing and Urban Development may establish subordinate preferences
    for any such dwelling structure. In the disposition of any
    dwellings under this section which were acquired by the United
    States from persons occupying the dwellings at the time of such
    acquisition, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development may,
    notwithstanding the order of preference provided in this section,
    grant a first preference to such persons in the purchase of any of
    these dwellings for such period and under such conditions as the
    Secretary may determine to be appropriate and in the public
    interest. As used in this subsection, the term "veteran" shall
    include a veteran, a serviceman, or the family of a veteran or a
    serviceman, or the family of a deceased veteran or serviceman whose
    death has been determined by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to
    be service-connected.
    (c) Preference in sales of projects
      In the case of any housing project required by this section to be
    disposed of, which is not offered for separate sale of separate
    dwelling structures designed for occupancy by not more than four
    families, such project may be sold as a whole or in such portions
    as the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development may determine. On
    such sales of an entire project or portions thereof consisting of
    more than one dwelling structure or of an individual dwelling
    structure designed for occupancy by more than four families, first
    preference shall be given for such period not less than ninety days
    nor more than six months from the date of the initial offering of
    such project or portions thereof as the Secretary of Housing and
    Urban Development may determine, to groups of veterans organized on
    a mutual ownership or cooperative basis (provided that any such
    group shall accept as a member of its organization, on the same
    terms, subject to the same conditions, and with the same privileges
    and responsibilities, required of, and extended to other members of
    the group any tenant occupying a dwelling unit in such project,
    portion thereof or building, at any time during such period as the
    Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall deem appropriate,
    starting on the date of the announcement by the Secretary of
    Housing and Urban Development of the availability of such project,
    portion thereof or building for sale), except that a first
    preference for said period of not less than ninety days nor more
    than six months shall be given to any group organized on a mutual
    or cooperative basis, which, with respect to its proposed purchase
    of a specific housing project or portions thereof, has, prior to
    August 1, 1949, been granted an exception by the Secretary of
    Housing and Urban Development from the sales preference provisions
    of Public Regulation 1 of the Housing and Home Finance Agency and
    has been designated as a preferred purchaser.
    (d) Equitable selection method for each preference class
      The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall provide an
    equitable method of selecting the purchasers to apply when
    preferred purchasers (or groups of preferred purchasers) in the
    same preference class or containing members in the same preference
    class compete with each other.
    (e) Veterans' preference
      Any housing disposed of in accordance with this section shall
    after such disposal be deemed to be housing accommodations the
    construction of which was completed after June 30, 1947, within the
    meaning of section 1884 of Appendix to title 50, relating to
    preference or priority to veterans of World War II or their
    families.
    (f) Terms of sales
      Sales pursuant to this section shall be upon such terms as the
    Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall determine:
    Provided, That full payment to the Government for the property sold
    shall be required within a period not exceeding twenty-five years
    with interest on unpaid balances at not less than 4 per centum per
    annum, except that in the case of projects initially programmed as
    mutual housing communities under the defense housing program, the
    terms of sale shall not require a down payment and shall provide
    for full payment to the United States over a period of forty-five
    years with interest on unpaid balances at not more than 3 per
    centum per annum.
    (g) Disregard of preferences in certain cases
      The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development may dispose of any
    permanent war housing without regard to the preferences in
    subsections (b) and (c) of this section when the Secretary
    determines that (1) such housing, because of design or lack of
    amenities, is unsuitable for family dwelling use, or (2) it is
    being used at the time of disposition for other than dwelling
    purposes, or (3) it was offered, with preferences substantially
    similar to those provided in the Housing Act of 1950, to veterans
    and occupants prior to April 20, 1950.

      In order to assure that community facilities or services required

-HEAD-
    Sec. 1592a. Construction of housing

-STATUTE-
    (a) Types, sales, preferences in purchases, and payment
      Consistent with other requirements of national defense, any
    permanent housing constructed pursuant to the authority of this
    subchapter shall consist of one- to four-family dwelling structures
    (including row houses) so arranged that they may be offered for
    separate sale. All housing of permanent construction which is
    constructed or acquired under the authority of this subchapter
    shall be sold as expeditiously as possible and in the public
    interest taking into consideration the continuation of the need for
    such housing by persons engaged in national defense activities. All
    dwelling structures of permanent construction designed for
    occupancy by not more than four families (including row houses)
    shall be offered for sale, and preference in the purchase of any
    such dwelling structure shall be granted to occupants and to
    veterans over other prospective purchasers. As among veterans,
    preference in the purchase of any such dwelling structure shall be
    given to disabled veterans whose disability has been determined by
    the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to be service-connected. All
    dwelling structures of permanent construction in any housing
    project which are designed for occupancy by more than four families
    (and other structures in such project which are not sold
    separately) shall be sold as an entity. On such sales first
    preference shall be given for such period not less than ninety days
    nor more than six months from the date of the initial offering of
    such project as the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development may
    determine, to groups of veterans organized on a mutual ownership or
    cooperative basis (provided that any such group shall accept as a
    member of its organization, on the same terms, subject to the same
    conditions, and with the same privileges and responsibilities,
    required of, and extended to, other members of the group any tenant
    occupying a dwelling unit in such project, at any time during such
    period as the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall deem
    appropriate, starting on the date of the announcement by the
    Secretary of Housing and Urban Development of the availability of
    such project). The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall
    provide an equitable method of selecting the purchasers when
    preferred purchasers (or groups of preferred purchasers) in the
    same preference class or containing members in the same preference
    class compete with each other. Sales pursuant to this section shall
    be for cash or credit, upon such terms as the Secretary of Housing
    and Urban Development shall determine, and at the fair value of the
    property as determined by the Secretary: Provided, That full
    payment to the Government for the property sold shall be required
    within a period of not exceeding twenty-five years with interest on
    unpaid balances at not less than 4 per centum per annum.
    (b) Temporary housing
      Where it is necessary to provide housing under this subchapter in
    locations where, in the determination of the Secretary of Housing
    and Urban Development, there appears to be no need for such housing
    beyond the period during which it is needed for housing persons
    engaged in national defense activities, the provisions of section
    1591a of this title shall not be applicable and temporary housing
    which is of a mobile or portable character or which is otherwise
    constructed so as to be available for reuse at other locations or
    existing housing built or acquired by the United States under
    authority of any other law shall be provided. Any temporary housing
    constructed or acquired under this subchapter which the Secretary
    of Housing and Urban Development determines to be no longer needed
    for use under this subchapter shall, unless transferred to the
    Department of Defense pursuant to section 1592e of this title, or
    reported as excess to the Administrator of the General Services
    Administration pursuant to the Federal Property and Administrative
    Services Act of 1949, as amended,(!1) be sold as soon as
    practicable to the highest responsible bidder after public
    advertising, except that if one or more of such bidders is a
    veteran purchasing a dwelling unit for his own occupancy the sale
    of such unit shall be made to the highest responsible bidder who is
    a veteran so purchasing: Provided, That the Secretary of Housing
    and Urban Development may reject any bid for less than two-thirds
    of the appraised value as determined by him: Provided further, That
    the housing may be sold at fair value (as determined by the
    Secretary of Housing and Urban Development) to a public body for
    public use: And provided further, That the housing structures shall
    be sold for removal from the site, except that they may be sold for
    use on the site if the governing body of the locality has adopted a
    resolution approving use of such structures on the site.

    (c) Preference in admission to occupancy pending ultimate
      disposition
      When the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development determines
    that any housing provided under this subchapter is no longer
    required for persons engaged in national defense activities,
    preference in admission to occupancy thereof shall be given to
    veterans pending its ultimate sale or disposition in accordance
    with the provisions of this subchapter. As among veterans,
    preference in admission to occupancy shall be given to disabled
    veterans whose disability has been determined by the Secretary of
    Veterans Affairs to be service-connected.

-STATUTE-
      In furtherance of the purposes of this subchapter and subject to
    the provisions hereof, the Secretary of Housing and Urban
    Development may make loans or grants, or other payments, to public
    and nonprofit agencies for the provision, or for the operation and

    amounts as the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development may
    consider to be in the public interest: Provided, That grants under
    this subchapter to any local agency for hospital construction may
    be made only after such action by the local agency to secure
    assistance under Public Law 725, Seventy-ninth Congress, approved
    August 13, 1946, as amended, or Public Law 380, Eighty-first
    Congress, approved October 25, 1949, as is determined to be
    reasonable under the circumstances, and only to the extent that the
    required assistance is not available to such local agency under
    said Public Law 725, or said Public Law 380, as the case may be:
    Provided further, That grants or payments for the provision, or for
    the maintenance and operation, of community facilities or services
    under this section shall not exceed the portion of the cost of the
    provision, or the maintenance and operation, of such facilities or
    services which the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
    estimates to be attributable to the national defense activities in
    the area and not to be recovered by the public or nonprofit agency
    from other sources, including payments by the United States under
    any other provisions of this Act or any other law: And provided
    further, That any such continuing grant or payment shall be
    reexamined and adjusted annually upon the basis of the ability of
    the agency to bear a greater portion of the cost of such
    maintenance, operation, or services as a result of increased
    revenues made possible by such facility or by such defense
    activities.

    (a) Planning, acquisition, construction, etc.
      With respect to any housing or community facilities or services
    which the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development is authorized
    to provide, or any property which he is authorized to acquire,
    under this Act, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development is
    authorized by contract or otherwise (without regard to section 5 of
    title 41, section 322 of the Act of June 30, 1932 (47 Stat. 412),
    as amended,(!1) the Federal Property and Administrative Services
    Act of 1949, as amended,(!1) and prior to the approval of the
    Attorney General) to make plans, surveys, and investigations; to
    acquire (by purchase, donation, condemnation or otherwise),
    construct, erect, extend, remodel, operate, rent, lease, exchange,
    repair, deal with, insure, maintain, convey, sell for cash or
    credit, demolish, or otherwise dispose of any property, land,
    improvement, or interest therein; to provide approaches, utilities,
    and transportation facilities; to procure necessary materials,
    supplies, articles, equipment, and machinery; to make advance
    payments for leased property; to pursue to final disposition by way
    of compromise or otherwise, claims both for and against the United
    States (exclusive of claims in excess of $5,000 arising out of
    contracts for construction, repairs, and the purchase of supplies
    and materials, and claims involving administrative expenses) which
    are not in litigation and which have not been referred to the
    Department of Justice; and to convey without cost to States and
    political subdivisions and instrumentalities thereof property for
    streets and other public thoroughfares and easements for public
    purposes: Provided, That any instrument executed by the Secretary
    of Housing and Urban Development and purporting to convey any
    right, title or interest in any property acquired pursuant to this
    subchapter or subchapter X of this chapter shall be conclusive
    evidence of compliance with the provisions thereof insofar as title
    or other interest of any bona fide purchasers, lessees or
    transferees of such property is concerned. Notwithstanding any
    provisions of this Act, housing or community facilities constructed
    by the United States pursuant to the authority contained herein
    shall conform to the requirements of State and local laws,
    ordinances, rules, or regulations relating to health and
    sanitation, and, to the maximum extent practicable, taking into
    consideration the availability of materials and the requirements of
    national defense, any housing or community facilities, except
    housing or community facilities of a temporary character,
    constructed by the United States pursuant to the authority
    contained herein shall conform to the requirements of State or
    local laws, ordinances, rules, or regulations relating to building
    codes.

    (b) Condemnation
      Before condemnation proceedings are instituted pursuant to this
    subchapter or subchapter X of this chapter an effort shall be made
    to acquire the property involved by negotiation unless, because of
    reasonable doubt as to the identity of the owner or owners, because
    of the large number of persons with whom it would be necessary to
    negotiate, or for other reasons, the effort to acquire by
    negotiation would involve, in the judgment of the Secretary of
    Housing and Urban Development, such delay in acquiring the property
    as to be contrary to the interest of national defense. In any
    condemnation proceeding instituted pursuant to this subchapter or
    subchapter X of this chapter, the court shall not order the party
    in possession to surrender possession in advance of final judgment
    unless a declaration of taking has been filed, and a deposit of the
    amount estimated to be just compensation has been made, under
    section 3114(a) to (d) of title 40, providing for such
    declarations. Unless title is in dispute, the court, upon
    application, shall promptly pay to the owner at least 75 per centum
    of the amount so deposited, but such payment shall be made without
    prejudice to any party to the proceeding.
    (c) Return to original owner in certain cases
      If any real property acquired under this subchapter or subchapter
    X of this chapter is retained after June 30, 1954, without having
    been used for the purposes of this Act, the Secretary of Housing
    and Urban Development shall, if the original owner desires the
    property and pays the fair value thereof, return such property to
    the owner. In the event the Secretary of Housing and Urban
    Development and the original owner do not agree as to the fair
    value of the property, the fair value shall be determined by three
    appraisers, one of whom shall be chosen by the Secretary of Housing
    and Urban Development, one by the original owner, and the third by
    the first two appraisers; the expenses of such determination shall
    be paid in equal shares by the Government and the original owner.

-STATUTE-
    (a) Contract provisions; competitive bids
      The Secretary of Defense or his designee is authorized to enter
    into contracts with any eligible bidder to provide for the
    construction of urgently needed housing on lands owned or leased by
    the United States and situated on or near a military reservation or
    installation for the purpose of providing suitable living
    accommodations for military personnel of the armed services
    assigned to duty at the military installation at or in the area
    where the housing is situated. Any such contract shall provide that
    each housing unit in the project shall be placed under the control
    of the Secretary of Defense, or his designee, as soon as the unit
    is available for occupancy as determined by the Secretary of
    Housing and Urban Development. Any such contract shall also provide
    that, except for stock held by the Secretary of Housing and Urban
    Development, the capital stock of the mortgagor (where the
    mortgagor is a corporation) be transferred to the Secretary of
    Defense, or his designee, when the housing has been completed as
    determined by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Any
    such contract shall contain such terms and conditions as the
    Secretary of Defense may determine to be necessary to protect the
    interests of the United States. Any such contract shall provide for
    the furnishing by the contractor of a performance bond and a
    payment bond with a surety or sureties satisfactory to the
    Secretary of Defense, or his designee, and the furnishing of such
    bonds shall be deemed a sufficient compliance with the provisions
    of section 3131 of title 40, and no additional bonds shall be
    required under such section. Before the Secretary of Defense shall
    enter into any contract as authorized by this section for the
    construction of housing, he shall invite the submission of
    competitive bids after advertising in the manner prescribed in
    section 2305 of title 10.
    (b) "Eligible bidder" defined
      For the purposes of this subchapter, the term "eligible bidder"
    means a person, partnership, firm, or corporation determined by the
    Secretary of Defense after consultation with the Secretary of
    Housing and Urban Development (1) to be qualified by experience and
    financial responsibility to construct housing of the type described
    in subsection (a) of this section, and (2) to have submitted the
    lowest acceptable bid.
    (c) Acquisition of capital stock of property covered by mortgage
      Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary of
    Defense or his designee is authorized to acquire the capital stock
    of mortgagors holding property covered by a mortgage insured under
    title VIII of the National Housing Act as amended by the Housing
    Amendments of 1955 [12 U.S.C. 1748 et seq.], and to exercise the
    rights as holder of such capital stock during the life of such
    mortgage and, upon the termination of the mortgage, to dissolve the
    corporation; to guarantee the payment of notes or other legal
    instruments required by the Secretary of Housing and Urban
    Development of such mortgagors; to make payments thereon; and to
    guarantee and indemnify the Armed Services Housing Mortgage
    Insurance Fund against loss in cases where so required. All housing
    facilities placed under the control of the Secretary of Defense
    pursuant to the provisions of this subchapter shall be deemed to be
    housing facilities under the jurisdiction of the military
    department to which they are assigned.
    (d) Opinion as to title to property; guarantee; title search and
      title insurance
      On request by the Secretary of Defense, the Attorney General
    shall furnish to the Secretary of Defense, or his designee, an
    opinion as to the sufficiency of title to any property on which it
    is proposed to construct housing, or on which housing has been
    constructed, under this section. If the opinion of the Attorney
    General is that the title to any such property is good and
    sufficient, the Secretary of Defense is authorized to guarantee, or
    enter into a commitment to guarantee, the mortgagee, under a
    mortgage on such property which is insured under title VIII of the
    National Housing Act [12 U.S.C. 1748 et seq.], against any losses
    that may thereafter arise from adverse claims to title. None of the
    proceeds of any mortgage loan hereafter insured under such title
    VIII shall be used for title search and title insurance costs:
    Provided, That if the Secretary of Defense, or his designee,
    determines in the case of any housing project, that the financing
    of the construction of such project is impossible unless title
    insurance is provided, the Secretary of Defense may provide for the
    payment of the reasonable costs necessary for obtaining title
    search and title insurance. Any payments by the Secretary of
    Defense hereunder shall be made from the revolving fund established
    under section 1594a(g) (!1) of this title. Any determination by the
    Secretary of Defense under the foregoing proviso shall be set forth
    in writing, together with the reasons therefor. The Committees on
    Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives shall be
    promptly notified of each such determination, and of the amount of
    any payment made by the Secretary of Defense for title search and
    title insurance costs.

    Sec. 1594a. Acquisition of military housing financed under Armed
      Services Housing Mortgage Insurance Fund and rental housing at
      military bases

-STATUTE-
    (a) Purchase price
      Whenever the Secretary of Defense or his designee deems it
    necessary for the purpose of this subchapter, he may acquire, by
    purchase, donation, condemnation, or other means of transfer, any
    land or (with the approval of the Secretary of Housing and Urban
    Development) (1) any housing financed with mortgages insured under
    title VIII of the National Housing Act [12 U.S.C. 1748 et seq.] as
    in effect prior to August 11, 1955, or (2) any housing situated
    adjacent to a military installation which was (A) completed prior
    to July 1, 1952, (B) certified by the Department of Defense, prior
    to construction, as being necessary to meet an existing military
    family housing need and considered as military housing by the
    Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and (C) financed with
    mortgages insured under section 207 of the National Housing Act [12
    U.S.C. 1713], or (3) any housing situated on or adjacent to a
    military installation which was (A) completed prior to July 1,
    1952, (B) considered by the Department of Defense, prior to
    construction, as being necessary to meet an existing military
    family housing need and considered as military housing by the
    Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and (C) financed with
    mortgages insured under section 608 of the National Housing Act [12
    U.S.C. 1743], including adjacent property constructed primarily to
    provide commercial facilities for the occupants of such housing.
    The purchase price of any such housing shall not exceed the
    Secretary of Housing and Urban Development's estimate of the
    replacement cost of such housing and related property (not
    including the value of any improvements installed or constructed
    with appropriated funds) as of the date of final endorsement for
    mortgage insurance reduced by an appropriate allowance representing
    the estimated cost of repairs and replacements necessary to restore
    the property to sound physical condition, as determined by the
    Secretary of Defense or his designee upon the advice of the
    Secretary of Housing and Urban Development: Provided, That in any
    case where the Secretary of Defense or his designee acquires a
    project held by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, the
    price paid shall not exceed the face value of the debentures (plus
    accrued interest thereon) which the Secretary of Housing and Urban
    Development issued in acquiring such project.
    (b) Housing at or near a military installation
      Notwithstanding any provision of subsection (a) of this section
    to the contrary, the Secretary of Defense or his designee shall, in
    the manner provided in subsection (a) of this section, acquire by
    purchase, donation, or other means of transfer or, if the parties
    cannot agree upon terms for acquisition by such means, by
    condemnation, any housing described in clause (1) or (2) of
    subsection (a) of this section which is located at or near a
    military installation where the construction of housing under the
    Armed Services Housing Mortgage Insurance Program has been approved
    by the Secretary.
    (c) Condemnation; procedures; deposit; payment; interest
      (1) Condemnation proceedings instituted pursuant to this section
    shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of section
    3113 of title 40, or any other applicable Federal statute. Before
    any such condemnation proceedings are instituted, an effort shall
    be made to acquire the property involved by negotiation. In any
    such condemnation proceedings, and in the interests of expedition,
    the issue of just compensation may be determined by a commission of
    three qualified, disinterested persons to be appointed by the
    court. Any commission appointed hereunder shall give full
    consideration to all elements of value in accordance with existing
    law, and shall have the powers of a master provided in subdivision
    (c) of rule 53 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and
    proceedings before it shall be governed by the provisions of
    paragraphs (1) and (2) of subdivision (d) of such rule. Its action
    and report shall be determined by a majority and its findings and
    report shall have the effect, and be dealt with by the court in
    accordance with the practice prescribed in paragraph (2) of
    subdivision (e) of such rule. Trial of all issues, other than just
    compensation, shall be by the court.
      (2) In any condemnation proceedings instituted to acquire any
    such housing, or interest therein, the court shall not order the
    party in possession to surrender possession in advance of final
    judgment unless a declaration of taking has been filed, and a
    deposit of the amount estimated to be just compensation has been
    made, under section 3114(a) to (d) of title 40. The amount of such
    deposit for the purpose of this section shall not in any case be
    less than an amount equal to the actual cost of the housing (not
    including the value of any improvements installed or constructed
    with appropriated funds) as certified by the sponsor or owner of
    the project to the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
    pursuant to any statute or any regulations issued by the Secretary
    of Housing and Urban Development, reduced by the amount of the
    principal obligation of the mortgage outstanding at the time
    possession is surrendered, but any such deposit shall not include
    any excess mortgage proceeds or "windfalls," kickbacks and rebates
    received in connection with the construction of said housing as
    determined by the Department of Defense, or any other Federal
    agency. The amount of such deposit in any case where the sponsor or
    owner has not certified the cost of the project to the Secretary of
    Housing and Urban Development at August 10, 1959, shall be
    determined by the Secretary of Defense, or his designee, in
    accordance with sections 3114 to 3116 and 3118 of title 40, with a
    view toward accurately estimating the equity of the sponsor or
    owner: Provided, That in the event there is withdrawn from the
    registry of the court by the owner or sponsor a sum of money in
    excess of the final award of just compensation, this excess shall
    be repaid to the United States plus a sum equal to 4 per centum per
    annum on such excess from the time such sum is deposited in the
    registry of the court: Provided further, That any court in which
    money is deposited as provided in this section shall require the
    furnishing of security by the owner to protect the United States
    from any loss by reason of a final award of just compensation of
    less than the amount deposited: And provided further, That the
    deposit required to be made by this section shall be without
    prejudice to any party in the determination of just compensation.
    Unless title is in dispute, the court, upon application and subject
    to the foregoing provisions of this subsection, shall promptly pay
    to the owner at least 75 per centum of the amount so deposited, but
    such payment shall be made without prejudice to any party to the
    proceeding. In the event that condemnation proceedings are
    instituted in accordance with procedures under sections 3114 to
    3116 and 3118 of title 40, the court shall order that the amount
    deposited shall be paid in a lump sum or over a period not
    exceeding five years in accordance with stipulations executed by
    the parties in the proceedings. In connection with condemnation
    proceedings which do not utilize the procedures under such
    sections, the Secretary of Defense or his designee, after final
    judgment of the court, may pay or agree to pay in a lump sum or, in
    accordance with stipulations executed by the parties to the
    proceedings, over a period not exceeding five years the difference
    between the outstanding principal obligation, plus accrued
    interest, and the price for the property fixed by the court. Unless
    such payment is made in a lump sum, the unpaid balance thereof
    shall bear interest at the rate of 4 per centum per annum.
    (d) Occupancy; use, or improvement of property before approval of
      title
      Property acquired under this section may be occupied, used, and
    improved for the purposes of this section prior to the approval of
    title by the Attorney General as required by sections 3111 and 3112
    of title 40.
    (e) Release of accrual requirements for replacement, taxes, and
      hazard insurance reserves
      The Secretary of Defense or his designee may, in the case of any
    housing acquired or to be acquired under this section, make
    arrangements with the mortgage whereby such mortgage will agree to
    release and waive all requirements of accruals for reserves for
    replacement, taxes, and hazard insurance provided for under the
    corporate charter and indenture agreement with respect to such
    housing, upon the execution of a written agreement by the Secretary
    or his designee that the purposes for which such reserves and other
    funds were accrued will be carried out.
    (f) Use as public quarters or lease of housing
      Any housing acquired under this section may be (1) assigned as
    public quarters to military personnel and their dependents; or (2)
    leased to military and civilian personnel for occupancy by them and
    their dependents, upon such terms and conditions as will in the
    judgment of the Secretary of Defense or his designee be in the best
    interest of the United States, without loss to military personnel
    of their basic allowance for quarters or appropriate allotments.

    the Secretary is authorized, without regard to the civil service
    and classification laws, to procure, by negotiation or otherwise,
    the services of architects and engineers, or organizations thereof,
    under such arrangements as he deems desirable, but at an expense

    allowed from time to time by the Secretary of Housing and Urban
    Development in connection with projects assisted under the United
    States Housing Act of 1937, as amended [42 U.S.C. 1437 et seq.].
    Such services may include the development of plans, drawings and
    specifications for family housing under this title and other
    services in connection therewith: Provided, That such plans,
    drawings, and specifications may include the use of any project to
    be constructed under this subchapter of alternate materials or
    alternate types of construction, including prefabrication, that
    provide substantially equal value and conform to standards
    established by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development:
    Provided further, That such plans, drawings, and specifications,
    when developed pursuant to arrangements made under this section
    after August 7, 1956, shall follow the principle of modular
    measure, in order that the housing may be built by conventional
    construction, on-site fabrication, factory precutting, factory
    fabrication, or any combination of these construction methods:
    Provided further, That the Secretary of Defense may designate
    certain sites or parts thereof for family housing to be furnished
    from prefabricated houses or housing components. Such arrangements
    may include provision for advance or progress payments, for payment
    by third parties, for payment by the Government of any such
    compensation as it not paid for by third parties, and shall include
    provision for reimbursement by third parties to the Government of
    any compensation or other expenses paid by the Government pursuant
    to this section, and may include other provisions for compensation.
    Any public works appropriations now or hereafter available to the
    Departments of the Army, Navy, or Air Force or the Coast Guard may
    be obligated by the respective departments or the Coast Guard for
    these purposes. Reimbursements to the Government on account of
    payments made pursuant to this section shall be made to
    appropriations against which such payments were charged. The
    Secretary of Defense is further authorized to advance or pay to the
    Department of Housing and Urban Development its "Appraisal and
    Eligibility Statement" fees in connection with such family housing.
    The Secretary of Defense is further authorized to enter into
    arrangements by contract or otherwise for eventual acquisition by
    the Government, without cost to the Government of all right, title,
    and interest in sites on which housing is constructed pursuant to
    this title and improvements thereon.
