Congress can give the Secretary of Commerce money to buy land. The Secretary may only buy land needed for the Institute's approved activities. This power only works when Congress sets aside funds for it.

The Secretary of Commerce can buy land for field sites, but only when Congress specifically appropriates money for that purpose. The land must be necessary for carrying out the Institute's authorized activities properly and efficiently.
