Despite other laws, the Secretary of the Interior must try to get land for Kaloko-Honokohau park by first acquiring equivalent-value surplus federal land from the General Services Administration, then trading that land to private owners for the park land. Exchanges must be of equal value, with either side paying cash to balance things out.

Regardless of any other law, the Secretary of the Interior is authorized, and must try, to acquire the lands described in section 396d(a) of this title for the park. The method is: first acquire federal surplus land of equal value from the General Services Administration, then trade that surplus land to the landowners in exchange for the park land described in section 396d(a). These exchanges must be based on equal value; either the landowner or the government may pay or accept cash to make the values match exactly.
