Land bought earlier with money set aside for conservation or forest purposes inside the park's outer boundaries automatically becomes part of Mammoth Cave National Park. This applies as if the land had originally been bought for the park. Section 404's closing rule does not block buying land this way.

All land already purchased — using money earlier set aside by Executive order or otherwise, for conservation or forestation — within Mammoth Cave National Park's maximum boundaries becomes part of the park. It counts as fully part of the park as if it had originally been acquired for that purpose. The closing proviso in section 404 of this title does not block acquiring land in this area using money made available in this way.
