This law folds certain purchased land into Isle Royale National Park. That land was bought earlier with funds set aside for conservation, within the park's outer boundary. A rule against buying more park land does not block using those funds this way.

All land that was previously bought — using funds set aside by executive order or otherwise for conservation or forest purposes — within the maximum boundaries of Isle Royale National Park becomes officially part of the park. It's treated exactly as if it had been bought for the park in the first place. A rule in section 408 that limits land purchases for the park does not stop the government from using these conservation and forestation funds to buy land within the park area.

All lands purchased from funds heretofore allocated and made available by Executive order, or otherwise, for the acquisition of lands for conservation or forestation purposes within the maximum boundaries of the Isle Royale National Park, as authorized by sections 408 to 408b of this title, are made a part of the said park as fully as if originally acquired for that purpose and the proviso at the end of section 408 of this title shall not be construed so as to prohibit the acquisition of lands in the park area with the aforesaid funds.
