were transferred from “exclusive” to “proprietorial” jurisdiction is in question and due to new

construction and area changes, cannot be accurately recreated. Therefore, discrepancies in the

lines from the past survey may exist; but the intent to place all Navy owned property within the

security fence line in “exclusive” jurisdiction shall govern.
