                       CHAPTER 449--REAL PROPERTY
 
Sec. 4779. Use of public property

    (a) When the economy of the Army so requires, the Secretary of the 
Army shall establish military headquarters in places where suitable 
buildings are owned by the United States.
    (b) No money appropriated for the support of the Army may be spent 
for post gardens or Army exchanges. However, this does not prevent Army 
exchanges from using public buildings or public transportation that, in 
the opinion of the office or officer designated by the Secretary, are 
not needed for other purposes.
