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

Development and leased to the Department of the Navy or Army or Air

Force and to execute such leases, agreements and other instruments

Sec. 1581. Housing disposition

-STATUTE-

(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

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:

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.

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.

In addition to the authority of the Secretary of Housing and

Urban Development under the first sentence of this subsection, the

Secretary is specifically authorized to convey any permanent war

housing project to a local public housing agency if requested in

writing, within sixty days after April 20, 1950, by such agency or

the executive head of the municipality (or of the county or parish

if such project is not in a municipality) within which the project

is located, or by the Governor of the State where an agency of the

State has authority to operate the project: Provided, That any

conveyance by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development

pursuant to this sentence shall be subject to the same conditions

and requirements as provided in this section with respect to a

project specifically designated herein.

(b) Projects as "low-rent housing"

Upon the conveyance by the Secretary of Housing and Urban

Development of any such project pursuant to the provisions of this

section, such project shall constitute and be deemed to be

"low-rent housing" as that term is used and defined in the United

States Housing Act of 1937 [42 U.S.C. 1437 et seq.] (and to be a

low-rent housing project assisted pursuant to that Act, within the

meaning of section 1404a(b) of this title). Any instrument of

conveyance by the Administrator stating that it is executed under

subchapters II to VII of this chapter shall be conclusive evidence

of compliance therewith insofar as any title or other interest in

the property is concerned.

(c) Conditions and requirements of agreements

The agreement between the public housing agency and the Secretary

of Housing and Urban Development required by subsection (a) of this

section shall contain the following conditions and requirements,

and may contain such further conditions, requirements, and

provisions as the Secretary determines -

(1) during a period of forty years following the conveyance the

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.

CHAPTER 9 - HOUSING OF PERSONS ENGAGED IN NATIONAL DEFENSE

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.

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.

and services

-STATUTE-

(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.

Sec. 1594. Contracts for construction

-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.

SUBCHAPTER XI - HOUSING FOR MILITARY PERSONNEL

-HEAD-

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.

allowed from time to time by the Secretary of Housing and Urban

Development in connection with projects assisted under the United

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
