in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Congress allows up to $100,000 to develop this park. The Secretary may later buy more land to round out the park. This extra land must protect nearby historic sites at risk under private ownership.

This section funds the park and lets its boundaries grow later. Congress authorizes $100,000 to be spent from the Treasury for this park, taken from money not already committed elsewhere. After that $100,000 is spent, the Secretary of the Interior may decide that more land is needed. This can happen for two reasons: to round out the shape of the park area, or to acquire nearby historic locations that have fortifications or entrenchments on them. If those historic sites are likely to be damaged or destroyed if left in private hands, the Secretary is authorized to buy the additional land needed to protect them.
