interest therein offered (but not a lesser or greater 
amount) to the third party specified in the offer, but 
not for a price less or on terms different from those 
originally made by the third party. Any land or in-
terest therein not transferred by the 13th Regional 
Corporation to the specified third party not later 
than 60 days after making the offer to the Regional 
Corporation shall again become subject to the re-

the resources developed are on lands originally with-
drawn for selection by a Village Corporation, then 
one-half of the 10 percent paid to the local Regional

construed to grant the 13th Regional Corporation
