in session, within ten days after Congress next convenes, the Commis-
sion shall prepare and submit to the Congress a report containing, 
with respect to the disposal under this section of the Louisville plant, 
the information described in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8 of section 
9 ( a ) . Unless the contract is disapproved by either House of the Con-
gress by a resolution prior to the expiration of thirty days of contin-
uous session (as defined in section 9 (c)) of the Congress following 
the date upon which the report is submitted to it, upon the expiration 
of such thirty-day period the contract shall become fully effective and 
the Commission shall proceed to carry it out, and transfer of possession 
of the facility sold shall be made as soon as practicable but in any 
event within thirty days after the expiration or termination of the 
existing lease on the Louisville plant. The failure to complete transfer 
of possession within thirty days after expiration or termination of the 
existing lease shall not give rise to or be the basis of rescission of the 
contract of sale." 
SEC, 2. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 3 (d) of the 
Rubber Producing Facilities Disposal Act of 1953, the Rubber Pro-
ducing Facilities Disposal Commission (hereinafter referred to as the 
"Commission") J before submission to the Congress of its report rela-
tive to the Louisville plant, shall submit it to the Attorney General, 
who shall, within seven days after receiving the report, advise the 
Commission whether, in his opinion, the proposed disposition, if 
carried out, will violate the antitrust laws. 
SEC. 3. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 4 of Public Law 
336, Eighty-fourth (^ongress, approved August 9, 1955, of section 4 
of Public Law 19, Eighty-fourth Congress, approved March 31, 1955, 
and section 20 of the Rubber Producing Facilities Disposal Act of 
1953, the Commission established by the last-mentioned Act shall cease 
to exist at the close of the ninetieth day following the termination of 
the review period provided for in section 27 (c) of that Act, unless 
no sale of the Louisville plant is recommended by the Commission 
pursuant to section 27 (c) of that Act, in which event the Commis-
sion shall cease to exist at the close of the ninetieth day following the 
termination of the maximum period allowed for negotiation in sec-
tion 27 (b). 
SEC. 4. (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 9 (d) and 
notwithstanding the period of lease limitation in section 9 (f) of the 
Rubber Producing Facilities Disposal Act of 1953, the Commission 
or its successor may, provided the period for receipt of proposals for 
the purchase of the Louisville plant has expired as provided in sec-
tion 27 (a) of that Act and no proposal or contract for the purchase 
of the Louisville plant is then pending or in effect, extend the existing 
lease or enter into a new lease on the Louisville plant for a term of 
not less than five years nor more than fifteen years from the date of 
termination of said existing lease. 
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 8 (a) (3) and 9 
(f) of the Rubber Producing Facilities Disposal Act of 1953 relating 
to the period for review by the Attorney General, the Commission, 
before submission to the Congress of a lease or lease extension relative 
to the Louisville plant, shall submit it to the Attorney General, who 
shall, within seven days after receiving the lease or lease extension, 
advise the Commission whether the proposed lease or lease extension 
would tend to create or maintain a situation inconsistent with the 
antitrust laws. 
(c) Within ten days after the termination of the lease negotiations 
authorized in subsection (a) of this section, or, if Congress is not then 
in session, within ten days after Congress next convenes, the Commis-
sion shall report to the Congress the lease or lease extension nego-

tiated pursuant to this section. The Commission shall submit at the 
same time the statement of the Attorney General approving the pro-
posed lease or lease extension in accordance with the standard set forth 
in subsection (b) of this section, and the names of the persons who 
have represented the Government or lessee in conducting negotiations 
for the lease or lease extension on the Louisville plant. Unless the 
lease or lease extension is disapproved by either House of the Congress 
by resolution prior to the expiration of thirty days of continuous 
session (as defined in section 9 (c) of the Rubber Producing Facil-
ities Disposal Act of 1953) of the Congress following the date upon 
which the lease or lease extension is submitted to it, upon the expira-
tion of such thirty-day period the lease or lease extension shall become 
fully effective and the Commission shall proceed to carry it out in 
accordance with its terms. 
SEC. 5. Except as otherwise provided in this Act, the disposal or 
lease of the Louisville plant shall be fully subject to all the provisions 
of the Rubber Producing Facilities Disposal Act of 1953 and such 
criteria as have been established by the Commission in handling dis-
posal of other Government-owned rubber producing facilities under 
that Act: P^tovided^ That-the provisions of sections 7 (j), 7 (k), 10, 
15 and 24 of that Act shall not apply to the disposal or lease of the 
Louisville plant. 
SEC. 6. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of the Rubber Producing 
Facilities Disposal Act of 1953, as amended, or of this Act, the Rubber 
Producing Facilities Disposal Commission may enter into contracts 
of sale and may from time to time enter into leases for all or any part 
of the catalyst manufacturing equipment now situated in Baltimore, 
Maryland, and generally described in the Commission's brochure M-2 
dated March 1954. 
(b) Except as provided in this paragraph, each such lease or con-
tract may be made on such terms and conditions, including type of 
use and duration (up to fifteen years) of any lease, as the Commis-
sion deems advisable in the public interest. Before making such sale 
or lease, the Commission shall secure the advice of the Attorney Gen-
eral as to whether the proposed sale or lease would tend to create or 
maintain a situation inconsistent with the antitrust laws. Each such 
lease or contract of sale shall contain a national security clause, con-
taining such terms and for such duration (ten years or less) as the 
Commission deems desirable in the public interest, and any such lease 
shall provide for the recapture of the equipment thereby leased and the 
termination of the lease, if the President determines that the national 
interest so requires. 
The price for any part or all of such equipment shall be an amount 
which the Commission determines to be the maximum amount obtain-
able in the public interest, but not less than fair value as determined 
by the Commission. 
(c) Any of such equipment not sold or leased under subsection (a) 
shall be placed and maintained in adequate standby condition pur-
suant to, and be otherwise subject to, the provisions of section 8 of 
the Rubber Producing Facilities Disposal Act of 1953 (other than 
the provision prohibiting leases). 
(d) All the powers and authority conferred by this section upon 
the Commission may, after the termination of the existence of the 
Commission, be exercised by such agency of the Government as the 
President may designate for the purpose, and for this purpose 
such successor agency may exercise all the authority conferred in 
the Rubber Producing Facilities Disposal Act of 1953 upon the 
Commission.
