Sec. 696a. Acquisition of title to properties for National Key
Deer Refuge; rights-of-way and easements
In furtherance of the aforesaid purposes, the Secretary may take
such action and make such expenditures as he shall find to be necessary
in order to secure satisfactory title in the United States to such
properties, including the payment of expenses incidental to the
location, examination, and survey of such lands and the acquisition of
title thereto; but no payment shall be made for any such lands until the
title thereto shall be satisfactory to the Attorney General: Provided,
That the acquisition of such lands or interests therein by the United
States shall in no case be defeated because of rights-of-ways,
easements, exceptions, and reservations which, in the opinion of the
Secretary of the Interior, will not interfere materially with the use of
such properties for the purposes of sections 696 to 696b of this title.
