This section preserves any rights that may already have been acquired under United States law in lands covered by this subchapter. It also says the section does not decide whether the other law applies or requires those rights to be granted.
Nothing herein contained must affect such rights, if any, as may have been acquired under any law of the United States by any person* in lands subject to this subchapter and such rights, if any, must be governed by the law in effect at the time they may have been acquired: Provided, however , That nothing herein contained is intended or must be construed as a finding, interpretation, or construction by the Congress that the law under which such rights may be claimed in fact applies to the lands subject to this subchapter or authorizes or compels the granting of such rights in such lands, and that the determination of the applicability or effect of such law must be unaffected by anything herein contained.
