Congress authorizes $50,000 to start building the Fredericksburg memorial park, covering land, roads, and staff costs. More money can be appropriated later as needed to finish and maintain the park. The Interior Secretary must report all spending to Congress each year.

To let the Secretary of the Interior begin carrying out sections 425 through 425j of this title, $50,000 is authorized to be appropriated from any money in the Treasury not already committed elsewhere. This money can be used for condemning, purchasing, or leasing the needed land; surveys and maps; marking the park's boundaries; opening, building, or repairing needed roads; paying the commissioners and covering their expenses; salaries for labor and services; travel expenses; and supplies and materials. This $50,000 stays available until it's spent. Additional sums may be appropriated over time, as needed, to finish the project and properly maintain the park. The Secretary of the Interior must report all spending under these sections to Congress every year.
