in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The government always gets first choice to buy coal the Army and Navy need. This coal comes from mines on lands sold under this Act. The President sets a fair price, but sellers can sue for more.

The United States always has the first right to buy whatever coal the Army and Navy need, from any mine opened on land sold under this Act. The President sets a reasonable, fair price for this coal. If a coal producer is unhappy with the price the President sets, that producer may sue the United States in the United States Court of Federal Claims, to try to recover any extra amount they believe they're owed for the sale.

The United States shall, at all times, have the preference right to purchase so much of the product of any mine or mines opened upon the lands sold under the provisions of this Act, as may be necessary for the use of the Army and Navy, and at such reasonable and remunerative price as may be fixed by the President; but the producers of any coal so purchased who may be dissatisfied with the price thus fixed shall have the right to prosecute suits against the United States in the United States Court of Federal Claims for the recovery of any additional sum or sums they may claim as justly due upon such purchase.
