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 pursuant 
to the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11411),

Election to Proceed Under New Statutory Procedures

    Subsequently, the Base Closure Community Redevelopment and Homeless

the option of proceeding under new procedures with regard to the manner 
in which the redevelopment plan for the base is formulated and how 
requests are made for future use of the property by homeless assistance 
providers and non-federal public agencies. On December 14, 1994, the
