                       CHAPTER 949--REAL PROPERTY
 
Sec. 9779. Use of public property

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

    In subsection (a), the words ``United States'' are substituted for 
the word ``Government''.
    In subsection (b), the words ``suitable space'' are substituted for 
the words ``proper and suitable room or rooms''. The words ``there is 
a'' are substituted for the words ``have been established''.
    In subsection (c), the words ``the Secretary'' are substituted for 
the words ``the Quartermaster General'', since the functions which, for 
the Army, are assigned by statute to subordinate officers of the Army, 
are, for the Air Force, assigned to the Secretary.


                               Amendments

    1986--Subsecs. (b), (c). Pub. L. 99-661 redesignated subsec. (c) as 
(b) and struck out former subsec. (b) which directed the Secretary to 
assign suitable space for postal purposes at each air base where there 
was a post office.
