This law protects existing naval petroleum and oil-shale reserve lands and agreements from being affected by certain other mining-lease laws. The Secretary of the Navy can still make new agreements with the President's consent, but they don't extend any existing lease unless they say so.

Nothing in sections 185, 221, 223, 223a, and 226, or in this section, changes any land inside the naval petroleum reserves or naval oil-shale reserves, or any agreements about operations there. However, the Secretary of the Navy, with the President's consent, can still enter into agreements like the ones allowed under sections 184 and 226. Any such agreement does not extend the term of an existing lease unless the agreement specifically says it does.
