Within the area which lies within the boundaries of the park, the
Secretary of the Interior is authorized to acquire lands and
interests in lands by such means as he may deem to be in the public
interest. The Secretary may accept title to any non-Federal
property within the park, including State-owned school sections and
riverbed lands, and in exchange therefor he may convey to the
grantor of such property any federally owned property under his
jurisdiction within the State of Utah, notwithstanding any other
provision of law. The properties so exchanged shall be of the same
classification, as near as may be, and shall be of approximately
equal value, and the Secretary shall take administrative action to
complete transfer on any lands in a proper application by the State
of Utah on or before the expiration of one hundred twenty days
following the date of enactment of this Act [September 12, 1964] or
any amendment thereto: Provided, That the Secretary may accept cash
from, or pay cash to, the grantor in such an exchange in order to
equalize the values of the properties exchanged. Federal property
located within the boundaries of the park may, with the concurrence
of the agency having custody thereof, be transferred to the
administrative jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Interior,
without consideration, for use by him in carrying out the purposes
of this subchapter. Any lands within the boundaries of the park
which are subject to Bureau of Reclamation or Federal Power
Commission withdrawals are hereby freed and exonerated from any
such withdrawal and shall, on September 12, 1964, become a part of
the Canyonlands National Park subject to no qualifications except
those imposed by this subchapter or any amendment thereto.
