recreational and national-park purposes, and in exchange therefor may
patent not to exceed an equal value of such national-park land within
the exterior boundaries of said national park; or the Secretary of the
Interior may authorize the grantor to cut and remove an equal value of
timber in exchange therefor from certain designated areas within the
exterior boundaries of said national park: Provided, That such timber
shall be cut and removed from such designated area in a manner that will
not injure the national park for recreational purposes and under such
forestry regulations as shall be stipulated, the values in each case to
be determined by the Secretary of the Interior. Lands conveyed to the
United States under this section shall, upon acceptance of title, become
