The Navy Secretary can pick federal land for a naval radio station. He must agree on the site with whichever agency controls that land. The President can then transfer the land to the Navy for that or any other naval use.

This section lets the government move federal land to the Navy for a radio station. The Secretary of the Navy and the head of whatever department or agency currently controls a piece of U.S. land can jointly pick that land as a site for a naval radio station. Once they agree on a site, the President can order the land transferred to the Department of the Navy. The land doesn't have to be used only for a radio station — the President can direct that it be used for the radio station or for any other naval purpose.
