Sec. 158. Mineral resources on withdrawn lands; disposition and 
        exploration
        
    All withdrawals or reservations of public lands for the use of any 
agency of the Department of Defense, except lands withdrawn or reserved 
specifically as naval petroleum, naval oil shale, or naval coal 
reserves, heretofore or hereafter made by the United States, shall be 
deemed to be subject to the condition that all minerals, including oil 
and gas, in the lands so withdrawn or reserved are under the 
jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Interior and there shall be no 
disposition of, or exploration for, any minerals in such lands except 
under the applicable public land mining and mineral leasing laws: 
Provided, That no disposition of, or exploration for, any minerals in 
such lands shall be made where the Secretary of Defense, after 
consultation with the Secretary of the Interior, determines that such 
disposition or exploration is inconsistent with the military use of the 
lands so withdrawn or reserved.
