installation are declared surplus to the federal government and 
available for use by (a) non-Federal public agencies pursuant to 
various statutes which authorize conveyance of property for public 
projects, and (b) homeless provider groups.

Election to Proceed Under New Statutory Procedures

    Subsequently, the Base Closure Community Redevelopment and Homeless

providers. On December 23, 1994, the Governor of New Jersey submitted a
