That, notwithstanding the provisions of section 2 of the Act of August 1, 1956, the Secretary of the Army is authorized and directed to release or modify on behalf of the United States the reservation and conditions in a deed dated November 9, 1956, conveying land in Clackamas County, Oregon, to the State of Oregon (as reflected on drawing 4540, filed with the district engineer, Seattle, Washington) one of which requires the land so conveyed to be used for military purposes only and provides for a reversion of such land to the United States if at any time it ceases to be so used, but only with respect to a sixty-foot right-of-way cutting across the northwest corner of such land for a distance of approximately three hundred and forty to four hundred feet, and only if the State of Oregon or an authorized agency of the State conveys such right-of-way (subject to section 2 of this Act) to Clackamas County to be used as a public highway to provide a direct intertie between Clackamas County Road 40 and Mather Road.
Sec. 2.
