16 U.S.C. § 161e — Additional lands, buildings, or other real and personal property

This section lets the federal government acquire Montana-owned property inside the park. The Secretary of the Interior is authorized to acquire, and the State of Montana is authorized to convey to the United States, any lands, interests in lands, buildings, or other real or personal property that Montana owns within the boundaries of Glacier National Park. Normally, section 11 of the Act approved February 22, 1889 (25 Stat. 676) would impose certain requirements on this kind of transfer. This section says those requirements do not apply here. The Secretary of the Interior decides how much to pay Montana for this property — whatever consideration the Secretary deems advisable — as long as the Secretary judges that acquiring the property serves the best interests of the United States.
