Sec. 450jj-4. Transfer of land

    Where appropriate in the discretion of the Secretary of the 
Interior, he may transfer by lease or otherwise, to any appropriate 
person or governmental entity, land owned by the United States (or any 
interest therein) which has been acquired by the Secretary under section 
450jj-3 of this title. Any such transfer shall be consistent with the 
management plan for the area and with the requirements of section 460l-
22 of this title and shall be subject to such conditions and 
restrictions as the Secretary deems necessary to carry out the purposes 
of sections 450jj to 450jj-9 of this title, including terms and 
conditions which provide for--
        (1) the continuation of existing uses of the land which are 
    compatible with the Memorial,
        (2) the protection of the important historical resources of the 
    leased area, and
        (3) the retention by the Secretary of such access and 
    development rights as the Secretary deems necessary to provide for 
    appropriate visitor use and resource management.

In transferring any lands or interest in lands under this section, the 
Secretary shall take into account the views of the Commission 
established under section 450jj-7 of this title.
