Exchange of lands and other property (a) The Secretary of the Interior is authorized to accept title to any non-Federal lands, inter- ests in lands, buildings, or other property, real or personal, within the authorized boundaries of the Glacier National Park, as now or after Au- gust 8, 1946, established, when the acquisition by exchange of such property would, in his judg- ment, be in the best interests of the United States. In exchange for the non-Federal prop- erty so to be acquired, the Secretary of the Inte- rior is authorized to convey to the grantors of such property, or to their nominees, any feder- ally owned lands, interests in lands, buildings, or other property, real or personal, within the authorized boundaries of the Glacier National Park, located in the State of Montana and ad- ministered by the National Park Service, which are of approximately equal value, as determined by the Secretary, to the property being ac- quired. In order to facilitate the making of such exchanges, the Secretary of the Interior may enter into agreements for the reservation in conveyances to the United States, or for the grant in conveyances from the United States, of such estates for years, life estates, or other in- terests as may be consistent, in his judgment, with the accomplishment of the purposes of this section, but all such limitations shall be consid- ered in determining the equality of the interests to be exchanged. (b) Any property acquired pursuant to this section shall, upon acceptance of title thereto, become a part of the Glacier National Park, and shall be subject to all laws applicable to such area. The Secretary of the Interior is authorized to issue such regulations as he deems necessary for carrying out the purposes of this section. (Aug. 8, 1946, ch. 915, §§ 1, 2, 60 Stat. 949.)
