The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and directed to
receive into the Treasury, on the same terms as the original
bequest of James Smithson, such sums as the Regents may, from time
to time, see fit to deposit, not exceeding, with the original
bequest, the sum of $1,000,000. This shall not operate as a
limitation on the power of the Smithsonian Institution to receive
money or other property by gift, bequest, or devise, and to hold
and dispose of the same in promotion of the purposes thereof.
