Congress may spend whatever money is needed to run Cape Cod National Seashore. But no more than $42,917,575 can go toward buying land, water, and property. This cap includes incidental costs tied to acquisition.

This section has no lettered subsections. Congress can appropriate as much money as necessary to carry out sections 459b through 459b–8. But there's a limit: no more than $42,917,575 total can be spent on acquiring land, water, and improvements on them, any interests in them, and the incidental costs of doing so, under these sections.
