missile silo battery. The land had been transferred to the City of Gary 
in 1947 by Quitclaim Deed from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation 
as non-surplus property as defined by section 16 of the Federal Airport 
Act of 1946. Public Law 102-148, dated October 10, 1991 released the 
land from the section 16 restriction requiring Congressional action for

operated by the Indiana National Guard, will be constructed on the 
property. A Joint-Use Agreement will be negotiated between the Indiana 
National Guard and the airport that will address all fees, charges, and 
assessments for services such as snow removal, fire fighting and
