       At the end of subtitle C of title VIII, add the following:

     SEC. 2823. LAND CONVEYANCE, CAMP JOSEPH T. ROBINSON, 
                   ARKANSAS.

       (a) Conveyance Authorized.--The Secretary of the Army may 
     convey, without consideration, to the Arkansas Department of 
     Veterans Affairs (in this section referred to as ``ADVA''), 
     all right, title, and interest of the United States in and to 
     a parcel of real property, including improvements thereon, 
     consisting of approximately 141 acres located adjacent to 
     Camp Joseph T. Robinson, Arkansas for the purpose of 
     providing long term expansion of the veteran cemetery, for 
     the over 250,000 veterans in the State. The conveyance under 
     this subsection is subject to valid existing rights.
       (b) Reversionary Interest.--If the Secretary determines at 
     any time that the real property conveyed under subsection (a) 
     is not being used in accordance with the purpose of the 
     conveyance specified in subsection (a), all right, title, and 
     interest in and to such real property, including any 
     improvements thereto, shall, at the option of the Secretary, 
     revert to and become the property of the United States, and 
     the United States shall have the right of immediate entry 
     onto such real property. A determination by the Secretary 
     under this subsection shall be made on the record after an 
     opportunity for a hearing.
       (c) Payment of Costs of Conveyance.--
       (1) Payment required.--The Secretary may require that ADVA 
     cover all costs (except costs for environmental remediation 
     of the property) to be incurred by the Secretary, or to 
     reimburse the Secretary for costs incurred by the Secretary, 
     to carry out the conveyance under this section, including 
     survey costs, costs for environmental documentation, and any 
     other administrative costs related to the conveyance. If 
     amounts are collected from ADVA in advance of the Secretary 
     incurring the actual costs, and the amount collected exceeds 
     the costs actually incurred by the Secretary to carry out the 
     conveyance, the Secretary shall refund the excess amount to 
     ADVA.
       (2) Treatment of amounts received.--Amounts received under 
     paragraph (1) as reimbursement for costs incurred by the 
     Secretary to carry out the conveyance under subsection (a) 
     shall be credited to the fund or account that was used to 
     cover the costs incurred by the Secretary in carrying out the 
     conveyance, or to an appropriate fund or account currently 
     available to the Secretary for the purposes for which the 
     costs were paid. Amounts so credited shall be merged with 
     amounts in such fund or account and shall be available for 
     the same purposes, and subject to the same conditions and 
     limitations, as amounts in such fund or account.
       (d) Description of Property.--The exact acreage and legal 
     description of the property to be conveyed under subsection 
     (a) shall be determined by a survey satisfactory to the 
     Secretary.
       (e) Additional Terms and Conditions.--The Secretary may 
     require such additional terms and conditions in connection 
     with the conveyance under subsection (a) as the Secretary 
     considers appropriate to protect the interests of the United 
     States.
                                 ______
