U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 695a. Title in United States of California refuge areas; existence of easements, reservations, etc.; affecting acquisition
The Secretary of the Interior may do all things and make all
expenditures necessary to secure the safe title in the United
States to the areas which may be acquired under sections 695 to
695c of this title, including purchase of options when deemed
necessary, and expenses incident to the location, examination and
survey of such areas and the acquisition of title thereto, but no
payments shall be made for any such areas until the title thereto
shall be satisfactory to the Attorney General. The acquisition of
such areas by the United States shall in no case be defeated
because of rights-of-way, easements, exceptions, and reservations
which from their nature will, in the opinion of the Secretary of
the Interior, in no manner interfere with the use of the areas so
encumbered for the purposes of said sections.
