U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 701. Game and wild birds; preservation
The duties and powers of the Department of the Interior include
the preservation, distribution, introduction, and restoration of
game birds and other wild birds. The Secretary of the Interior is
authorized to adopt such measures as may be necessary to carry out
the purposes of this Act, and to purchase such game birds and other
wild birds as may be required therefor, subject, however, to the
laws of the various States and Territories. The object and purpose
of this Act is to aid in the restoration of such birds in those
parts of the United States adapted thereto where the same have
become scarce or extinct, and also to regulate the introduction of
American or foreign birds or animals in localities where they have
not heretofore existed.
The Secretary of the Interior shall from time to time collect and
publish useful information as to the propagation, uses, and
preservation of such birds.
And the Secretary of the Interior shall make and publish all
needful rules and regulations for carrying out the purposes of this
Act, and shall expend for said purposes such sums as Congress may
appropriate therefor.
