            SUBCHAPTER IV--SALES OF PROPERTY FOR PRIVATE USE
 
Sec. 2349. Hanford project; disposal of property

    In addition to any other authority the Commission may have, the 
Commission is authorized, without regard to the provisions of section 5 
of title 41, to lease land, and to sell, lease, including leases with 
options to purchase, and otherwise dispose of improvements thereon, and 
such equipment and other personal property as is determined to be 
directly related thereto, in the Commission's Hanford project in and 
near Richland, Washington, upon a determination by the Commission that 
such disposition will serve to prevent or reduce the adverse economic 
impact of actual or anticipated reductions in Commission programs in 
that area: Provided, however, That the compensation to the Government 
for any such disposition shall be the estimated fair market value or 
estimated fair rental value of the property as determined by the 
Commission: Provided further, That before the Commission makes any 
disposition of property under the authority of this section, the basis 
for the proposed disposition (with necessary background and explanatory 
data) shall be submitted to the Committee on Energy and Natural 
Resources of the Senate and the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the 
House of Representatives, and a period of forty-five days shall elapse 
while Congress is in session (in computing such forty-five-days, there 
shall be excluded the days on which either House is not in session 
because of adjournment of more than three days): Provided, however, That 
those Committees, after having received the basis for the proposed 
disposition, may by resolution in writing waive the conditions of, or 
all or any portion of, such forty-five-day period.
