determination of the Administrator of General Services, is available for 
such use may, notwithstanding any other provisions of law, be 
transferred without reimbursement or transfer of funds (with or without 
improvements as determined by said Administrator) by the Federal agency 
having jurisdiction or control of the property to (a) such State agency 
if the management thereof for the conservation of wildlife relates to 
other than migratory birds, or (b) to the Secretary of the Interior if 
the real property has particular value in carrying out the national 
migratory bird management program. Any such transfer to other than the 
United States shall be subject to the reservation by the United States 
of all oil, gas, and mineral rights, and to the condition that the 
property shall continue to be used for wildlife conservation or other of 
the above-stated purposes and in the event it is no longer used for such 
purposes or in the event it is needed for national defense purposes 
title thereto shall revert to the United States.
