or independent establishment or agency of the United States shall deem

it desirable that such additional jurisdiction or powers be ceded over

any lands in Virginia acquired or proposed to be acquired by the

United States under his immediate jurisdiction, custody or control,

and whenever the Governor and Attorney General of Virginia shall agree

to the same, the Governor and Attorney General of Virginia shall agree

to the same, the Governor and Attorney General shall execute and

acknowledge a deed in the name of and under the lesser seal of the

Commonwealth ceding such additional jurisdiction.  The deed shall

accurately and specifically describe the area and location of the land

provided for and none other.

  (6)  Every such deed as is provided for in this section shall

reserve in the commonwealth over all lands therein referred to the

jurisdiction and power to serve civil and criminal process on such

lands and in the event that the lands or any part thereof shall be

sold or leased to any private individual, or any association or

corporation, under the terms of which sale or lease the vendee or

lessee shall have the right to conduct thereon any private industry or

business, then the jurisdiction ceded to the United States over any

such lands so sold or leased shall cease and determine, and thereafter

the Commonwealth shall have all jurisdiction and power she would have

had if no jurisdiction or power had been ceded to the United States

for purposes of national defense.  It is further provided that the

reservations provided for in this subsection shall remain effective

even though they should be omitted from any deed executed pursuant to

this section.

  (7)  Nothing contained in this section shall be construed as

repealing any special acts ceded jurisdiction to the United States to

acquire any specific tract of land.  (1940, p. 761; Michie Code 1942,

tax shall be required on any such instrument made to the United States

by which they acquire lands for public purposes.

  The jurisdiction ceded by Secs. 7-18, 7-19 and 7-21, shall not vest

until the United States shall have acquired the title of record to

such lands, or rights or interest therein, by purchase, condemnation,

lease or otherwise.  So long s the lands, or any rights or interest

therein, are held in fee simple by the United States, and no longer,

such lands, rights or interest, as the case may be, shall continue

exempt and exonerated, from all state, county and municipal taxes

which may be levied or imposed under the authority of this State.

  [1] Section 8 of the Migratory Bird Conservation Act (16 U.S.C.

persons upon migratory-bird reservations shall not be affected or

U.S.C. 480), states that the State in which any national forest is

situated shall not lose its jurisdiction over such national forest,

not the inhabitants thereof their rights and privileges as citizens.

In view of these provisions of Federal law the United States does not

exercise legislative jurisdiction over the properties to which they

pertain and holds them in proprietorial interest status only,

notwithstanding State consent to Federal acquisition of such

properties.  The Committee feels that the mentioned State consent

statutes are of sufficient importance and are sufficiently related to

the subject of legislative jurisdiction that references to them should

be included in this Appendix.
