Section 151. Opening of lands restored to entry after withdrawals
When public lands are excluded from national forests or released
from withdrawals the President may, whenever in his judgment it is
proper or necessary, provide for the opening of the lands by
settlement in advance of entry, by drawing, or by such other method
as he may deem advisable in the interest of equal opportunity and
good administration, and in doing so may provide that lands so
opened shall be subject only to homestead entry by actual settlers
only or to entry under the desert-land laws for a period not
exceeding ninety days, the unentered lands to be thereafter subject
to disposition under the public-land laws applicable thereto.
