SEC. 1411. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON REQUIREMENT FOR REVERSIONARY
INTEREST HOLDERS TO COMPENSATE UNITED STATES
FOR IMPROVEMENTS MADE TO MILITARY INSTALLATIONS
CLOSED OR REALIGNED UNDER 2005 ROUND OF DEFENSE
BASE CLOSURE AND REALIGNMENT.

It is the sense of Congress that--

[[Page S10993]]

(1) the closure or realignment of a military installation
under the 2005 round of defense base closure and realignment
does not constitute a closure determination by the Secretary
of the Navy for the purpose of requiring a reversionary
interest holder to provide compensation for any improvements
to the military installation; and
(2) as a matter of public policy, the United States should
release or otherwise relinquish any entitlement to receive,
pursuant to any agreement providing for such payment,
compensation from any holder of a reversionary interest in
real property used by the United States for improvements made
to any military installation that is closed or realigned as
part of the 2005 round of defense base closure and
realignment.
