The United States officially owned all the land and any already-cut trees in the park's 1978 'Proposed Additions' area starting March 27, 1978. The rule about small properties in section 79c(b)(3) applies here too. Congress could spend money starting in fiscal year 1978 to buy this land and timber.

Even though the original 1968 Redwood National Park law said something different, the United States automatically became the full owner — with the right to take immediate possession — of all real property and all already-cut trees ("down tree personal property") in the "Proposed Additions" area shown on a specific 1978 map, as set up by section 79c(b)(1). This ownership became effective on March 27, 1978. The rule in section 79c(b)(3), about small properties of 50 acres or less used for other than living or farming, also applies to figuring out the effective date here. Starting with money appropriated for fiscal year 1978 and later years, the government could spend whatever was needed to buy land, land interests, and already-cut trees that this law allowed or required it to acquire.
