Interior, he may transfer by lease or otherwise, to any appropriate
person or governmental entity, land owned by the United States (or any
interest therein) which has been acquired by the Secretary under section
450jj-3 of this title. Any such transfer shall be consistent with the
management plan for the area and with the requirements of section 460l-

restrictions as the Secretary deems necessary to carry out the purposes
of sections 450jj to 450jj-9 of this title, including terms and
conditions which provide for--
(1) the continuation of existing uses of the land which are
compatible with the Memorial,
(2) the protection of the important historical resources of the
leased area, and
(3) the retention by the Secretary of such access and
development rights as the Secretary deems necessary to provide for
appropriate visitor use and resource management.
In transferring any lands or interest in lands under this section, the
Secretary shall take into account the views of the Commission
established under section 450jj-7 of this title.
