Sec. 2343. Sales


(a) Notice to priority holders

    Where rights of priority have been granted pursuant to the 
provisions of this chapter to Government-owned property, it shall be 
offered for sale to priority purchaser by giving notice to those 
eligible for such priority. Such notice shall (1) be in such manner as 
the Commission shall prescribe, (2) identify the property to be sold, 
and (3) state the terms and conditions of sale and the date of the offer 
which, in the case of occupants of single family or duplex houses, shall 
expire not less than ninety days after the date of the offer.

(b) Sale of property to highest bidder

    Any property (other than church property) classified for sale under 
section 2331 of this title and offered for sale under section 2342 of 
this title, as to which no priority right has been conferred, or as to 
which all priority rights have expired, shall be advertised for sale to 
the highest bidder, subject to the right of the Commission to reject any 
or all bids. No bid shall be accepted which is below the appraised value 
or, in the case of Government-owned single and duplex houses is below 85 
per centum of the appraised value.

(c) Disposal of property not sold at auction

    As to any property which has not been sold under subsection (b) of 
this section within ninety days after the first advertisement for sale 
under such subsection the Commission may make such disposition, on such 
terms and conditions, as it may deem appropriate.

(d) Church property

    Property for use of churches, in respect of which all priority 
rights have expired, may be disposed of by advertising and competitive 
bid, or by negotiated sale or other transfer at such prices, terms, and 
conditions as the Commission shall determine to be fair and equitable.
