Executive Order 10496 of October 14, 1953
Restoring Certain Lands Reserved for Military Purposes to the Jurisdiction of the Territory of Hawaii
Whereas certain lands on the Island of Oahu, Territory of Hawaii, which form a part of the public lands ceded and transferred to the United States by the Republic of Hawaii under the joint resolution of annexation of July 7, 1898, 30 Stat. 750, were reserved for military purposes by Executive orders of the President; and
Whereas, pursuant to authority of the act of January 31, 1922, 42 Stat. 360, as amended by the act of March 3, 1925, 43 Stat. 1115, such lands were exchanged by the United States for privately-owned lands, and the lands so acquired were thereafter set apart by the President for military purposes of the United States; and
Whereas the lands so acquired by exchange are no longer needed for military purposes, and it is deemed desirable and in the public interest that the possession, use, and control thereof be restored to the Territory of Hawaii:
Now Therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in me by section 91 of the act of April 30, 1900, 31 Stat. 159, as amended by section 7 of the act of May 27, 1910, 36 Stat. 447, it is ordered as follows:
