vided further^ That any disposition of any such lands formerly set 
apart and reserved from the public domain shall be evidenced by 
patents issued by the Secretary of the Interior, 
SEC. 4. In order that exchanges of land may be effectuated for the 
purposes of this Act, the Secretary of the Interior is authorized, in 
his discretion and in accordance with the provisions of section 355 
of the Revised Statutes, to accept, on behalf of the United States, 
title to any land or interests in land within the exterior boundaries 
of the Badlands National Monument as revised pursuant to this Act, 
and, in exchange therefor, with the approval and concurrence of the 
Secretary of Agriculture, the Secretary of the Interior may patent 
lands of approximately equal value which were formerly set apart 
and reserved from the public domain within the Badlands Fall River 
soil conservation project, SD-LU-1. In effectuating such exchanges, 
in lieu of conveyances by the Secretary of the Interior, the Secretary 
of Agriculture may convey lands of approximately equal value within 
said project which have been acquired heretofore by the United States. 
All such exchanges shall, in all other respects, be considered as 
exchanges under the provisions of section 32c, title III, of the Bank-
head-Jones Farm Tenant Act and shall otherwise be in accordance with 
provisions of said Act, except that, upon acceptance of title to any 
lands so acquired by the United States under this section, such lands 
and any other lands acquired otherwise by the United States within 
the monument boundaries shall be a part of that area. In consummat-
ing land exchanges hereunder upon an equitable basis, patents and 
instruments of conveyance may be issued, and property may be 
accepted, by the United States, subject to such reservations as may be 
necessary or in the public interest.
