re-enacted, as follows:

Section 1. The Governor of Virginia is hereby authorized and
empowered to lend to Colonial Williamsburg, Incorporated, a corporation
of Williamsburg, Virginia, the old speaker’s chair and the “warming
machine,” formerly of the furniture of the old capitol in Williamsburg,
and now lodged in the capitol building at Richmond, upon the complete
restoration of the old capitol building at Williamsburg, to be placed in
said old Capitol, and to there remain during the pleasure of the Governor,
or the General Assembly of this State, the title thereto to continue in the
Commonwealth of Virginia. If the restoration of the speaker’s chair

Section 2. In view of representations on behalf of Colonial Wil-
liamsburg, Incorporated, that the ‘“‘warming machine’ which has been
lent to Colonial Williamsburg, Incorporated, in pursuance of section one
of this act and is presently lodged in the restored old Capitol in Wil-
liamsburg, was never actually lodged in the original or first Capitol
building which has been restored and that it is desirable to correct the
resultant anachronism by removing the “warming machine” from the
restored old Capitol to a building in the City of Williamsburg of a period
concurrent with the “warming machine,” the Governor is authorized to
consent to the removal of the “warming machine” from the old Capitol
at Williamsburg, where it is now lodged, to the old Court House of
seventeen-seventy, at Williamsburg, or to such other appropriate building
of a concurrent period as may be hereinafter selected by Colonial Wil-
liamsburg, Incorporated, subject in all respects to the provisions and
conditions of the loan thereof as set forth and contained in section one of
this act, and subject to the further provision that if removal from the old
Court House of seventeen-seventy shall subsequently be contemplated,
the Governor of Virginia shall be advised thereof and such removal
shall be effected only with his approval.
