Sec. 410o. Exchange of land, water, and interests therein
The Secretary of the Interior is authorized to transfer to the State
of Florida by quitclaim deed the land, water, and interests therein,
previously acquired by the United States of America for Everglades
National Park and not included within such park by section 410i of this
title, such transfer to be in exchange for the conveyance by the State
of Florida to the United States of all land, water, and interests
therein, owned by the State within the boundary of the park as described
in section 410i of this title: Provided, That exclusion of any land,
water, and interests therein from the park boundary pursuant to section
410i of this title shall be dependent upon the contemporaneous
conveyance by the State to the United States of all land, water, and
interests therein, owned by the State within the park boundary described
in section 410i of this title, including land, water, and interests
therein, heretofore conveyed to the State, for transfer to the United
States for inclusion in Everglades National Park. The effectuation of
the transfer provided for in this section shall be a condition precedent
to the acquisition by the Secretary of any land, water, or interests
therein held in private ownership within the boundaries set forth in
section 410i of this title and outside the area designated in sections
410e to 410h of this title, except as such acquisition is by donation.
