plicable thereto, but shall remain withdrawn from all forms of appro-
priation under the public land laws, including the mining and mineral 
leasing laws, and shall be reserved for use as a bombing range under 
the administration of the Department of the Navy until such with-
drawal and reservation is revoked by order of the Secretary of the 
Interior with the concurrence of the Secretary of the Navy. The re-
maining acreage of the lands conveyed to the United States shall be-
come a part of the lands comprising the substitute bombing range and

with the exchange authorized by this Act shall be disbursed as follows: 
(1) the difference in the fair market value between the public domain 
lands conveyed by the United States and the lands designated as pub-
lic domain lands under subsection (c) shall be distributed as a receipt 
from the sale of public domain lands; (2) the difference in the fair 
market value between the remaining lands exchanged shall be covered 
into the Treasury as a miscellaneous receipt; and (3) the amount re-
ceived to defray the cost of providing a complete substitute facility
