consideration, to the State of Utah all right, title, and interest of
the United States in and to certain lands comprising approximately 431
acres, as generally depicted on a map entitled ``Proposed Camp Williams

purpose of permitting the Utah National Guard to use the conveyed land
as provided in subsection (c).
(b) Revocation of Executive Order.--Executive Order No. 1922 of

4501), shall be revoked, only insofar as it affects the lands
identified for conveyance to the State of Utah under subsection (a).
(c) Reversionary Interest.--The lands conveyed to the State of Utah
under subsection (a) shall revert to the United States if the Secretary

sold or attempted to be sold, or that the land, or any portion thereof,

determination by the Secretary of the Interior under this subsection
shall be made in consultation with the Secretary of Defense and the
Governor of Utah and on the record after an opportunity for comment.

the United States an amount equal to the fair market value of that
portion of the land, and the reversionary interest shall not apply to
that portion of the land.
