reservations; Fort Drum. The governor is hereby authorized to cede to

the United States full concurrent jurisdiction over the tracts of land

comprising the Fort Drum military installation and any other lands that

may be acquired by the United States for military purposes at or near

prevent the execution on such tracts of any process, civil or criminal,

issued under the authority of this state, nor prevent from operating

within the bounds of such tracts any of the laws or regulations of the

state, not incompatible with the free use and enjoyment of the premises

by the United States or the purposes for which such cession is made, nor

prevent from operating within the same tracts or parcels of land the

laws or ordinances of the counties of Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence,

or the towns thereof, not incompatible with the free use and enjoyment

of the premises by the United States or the purposes for which such

cession is made; and that the United States shall retain such

jurisdiction so long only as such tracts or parcels of land shall be

used for military purposes.
