Text of the An Act to direct the Secretary of Agriculture to release on behalf of the United States a reversionary interest in certain land previously conveyed to the State of Connecticut

(Measure passed House amended) Directs the Secretary of Agriculture to release the condition in the conveyance of certain land in Sterling Connecticut to the State of Connecticut which restricts the use of such land to public purposes under penalty of reversion to the United States. Makes inapplicable to this Act the provision of the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act which prohibits the Secretary from selling exchanging leasing or otherwise disposing of property to other than public authorities. Conditions such release upon the State's agreement not to sell lease exchange or otherwise dispose of such land: (1) except to a certain cemetery exclusively for its expansion; and (2) unless the proceeds from such disposal are held in an account open to inspection by the Secretary and used for public purposes. Reserves the mineral interests in such lands to the United States. Makes the release granted under this Act applicable so long as the land is used for cemetery purposes.
