This law lets the government buy or acquire land for the National Library of Medicine's buildings. The Administrator of General Services picks sites the Secretary and Board have chosen. That Administrator also builds, furnishes, and manages the construction.

The Administrator of General Services may acquire land for the Library — by buying it, taking it through condemnation, accepting it as a donation, or other methods. The Secretary picks the site, following the Board of Regents' direction. The Administrator then puts up, furnishes, and equips the buildings and facilities the Library needs. Money appropriated for this purpose can pay for preparing drawings and specifications, supervising construction, and other administrative costs tied to the work. The Administrator of General Services handles the plans and specifications, makes all the necessary contracts, and oversees the construction itself.
