in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Congress authorizes up to $100,000 to carry out the purposes of sections 426 through 426j. That money comes from the Treasury and is not tied to other appropriated funds. No land can be bought until the commission has set the battlefield's boundaries.

The sum of $100,000, or as much of it as is necessary, is authorized to be appropriated from any Treasury money not already appropriated for another purpose, to carry out the goals of sections 426 through 426j. However, no obligation to purchase land may be made until the commission has fixed the boundaries of the battlefield.
