That
the Attorney General is authorized and directed to convey by quitclaim deed to the State of Florida, for use as a site for a State road department short-wave radio tower, all right, title, and interest of the United States, except as provided in this Act, in and to a tract of land about 300 feet square located in the southeast quarter of the southwest quarter of section 34, township 1 north, range 1 east, situated in Leon County, Florida, approximately 2,150 feet east from the southwest corner of said section 34, containing two acres, more or less.
The Attorney General shall provide such easements over adjoining lands of the Federal Government as may be necessary to provide access to the land authorized to be conveyed by subsection (a).
Sec. 2.
The conveyance authorized by this Act shall be subject to the condition that the State of Florida pay to the Attorney General as consideration for the land conveyed the fair market value of such land as determined by the Attorney General after independent appraisal of such land, such fair market value to reflect any reservation, exception, restriction, or condition to which such conveyance is subject.
Sec. 3.
The deed effecting the conveyance authorized by the first section of this Act shall reserve to the United States all minerals, including gas and oil, in the land conveyed, and shall provide that, in the event such land ceases to be used as a site for a State road department short-wave radio tower and is used for other purposes which, in the opinion of the Attorney General, interfere with the use by the United States of the adjoining lands owned by it as a Federal correctional institution, all right, title, and interest of the State of Florida in and to such land shall revert to and revest in the United States, which shall have the immediate right of entry thereon.
