   Relocation of Poplar Point Greenhouse and Nursery of United States 
 Botanic Garden and District of Columbia Lanham Tree Nursery to New Site

    Pub. L. 98-340, July 3, 1984, 98 Stat. 308, directed the Architect 
of the Capitol under the direction of the Joint Committee on the Library 
and the District of Columbia government to enter into an agreement under 
which the Architect and the District would determine a site of not less 
than twenty-five contiguous acres under the jurisdiction of the District 
upon which the facilities existing on July 3, 1984, being operated and 
maintained by the United States Botanic Garden at the Poplar Point 
Greenhouse and Nursery, would be relocated. The agreement would also 
provide that the District convey without consideration to the Architect 
on behalf of the United States all right, title, and interest of the 
District in the replacement site and that the District convey without 
consideration to the Secretary of the Interior on behalf of the United 
States all right, title, and interest of the District in the real 
property known as the Lanham Tree Nursery. Within sixty days of July 3, 
1984, the Botanic Garden Greenhouse and Nursery at Poplar Point would 
come within the jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Interior and within 
sixty days after the Secretary assumed jurisdiction for such real 
property the Secretary would enter into an agreement with the District 
and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority under which the 
District and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority would be 
authorized to construct, maintain, and operate certain facilities 
designed to improve transportation in the Washington metropolitan area.
