Congress allows up to $3,525,000 for land and up to $500,000 for public facilities. Within three years, the Secretary must send Congress a master plan for developing the battlefield. No money from this section could be spent before October 1, 1977.

This section funds land purchases and sets planning requirements for the battlefield. Congress may spend up to $3,525,000 total to buy land and land interests for the battlefield. Congress may also spend up to $500,000 to build essential public facilities there. Within three years of October 21, 1976, the Secretary must write a final master plan for fully developing the battlefield. This plan must be sent to the Committees on Interior and Insular Affairs of Congress. The plan must fit with the preservation goals set out in sections 430j through 430m and 430o through 430s of this title. The plan must cover three things: (1) what facilities are needed for the health, safety, and educational needs of visitors; (2) where each facility will go and how much it will cost; and (3) what additional facilities the battlefield might need in the future. None of the money authorized by this section could be spent before October 1, 1977.
