for or are available for cottage site development and use, he is

purposes in accordance with the provisions of this subchapter: Provided,
however, That any lands held under lease for cottage site purposes on

lessee until after sixty days from the date of the written notice to the
lessee as provided in section 460f of this title, or the termination or
expiration date of such lease, whichever is later, and the lessee shall
have the right during such period to purchase any lands leased to him
which the Secretary determines are available for sale.
