R. 4805) to carry out the purpose of this title. "(b) Upon request of the National Housing Administrator, any Federal agency having jurisdiction or control of structures or facili- ties (including lands, improvements, equipment, materials, or furnish- ings) which are no longer required by such agency and which, in the determination of said Administrator, can be utilized to provide temporary housing for distressed families of servicemen, for veterans and their families, or for single veterans attending educational insti- tutions, in accordance with this title V, may, notwithstanding any other provisions of law, transfer such structures or facilities to said Administrator, without reimbursement, for such use. "(c) Without regard to the provisions of any other law, but sub- ject to the removal provisions of section 313 of said Act, said Admin- istrator may transfer, for such consideration and subject to such terms and conditions as he deems feasible under the circumstances, any temporary housing (intact or in panels suitable for reuse) under his jurisdiction to any educational institution, State or political sub- division thereof, local public agency, or nonprofit organization, for use or reuse in producing temporary housing for families of service- men, for veterans and their families, or, in the discretion of the Administrator, for single veterans attending educational institutions."
