The Secretary of the Interior can accept donated land, buildings, or property within a national monument's boundaries, plus donated money to buy or maintain it. The Secretary can also use donated funds to buy needed land at a fair price, or take it through condemnation, to finish the monument.

This section lets the Secretary of the Interior accept donations of land, interests in land, buildings, structures, and other property within the boundaries of the national monument referred to in this section (the supplied text does not name it). The Secretary may also accept donated funds for purchasing or maintaining that property. Whatever title and evidence of title the Secretary receives must be satisfactory to the Secretary.
