Appropriation. 
Be it enacted hy the Senate and House of Representatives 
of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled, That in order to 
preserve the scenic and historic integrity of Scotts Bluff and adjacent 
features, the Secretary of the Interior may revise the boundaries of 
the Scotts Bluff National Monument so as to exclude from it certain 
private and Federal lands and substitute other private lands more 
essential to the purposes of the monument: Provided^ That the revised 
boundaries shall encompass an area which is about three hundred and 
fifty acres less than the acreage of the monument as of the date of 
this Act. 
Notice of the designation of the revised boundaries pur-
suant to this section shall be given by publication in the Federal 
Register. 
SEC. 2. The Secretary, in furtherance of the purposes of this Act, 
may procure, in such manner as he may deem to be in the public 
interest, lands and interests in lands within the revised boundaries 
designated pursuant to section 1 of this Act. 
To avoid the undesir-
able severance of parcels in private ownership which extend beyond 
the revised boundaries, the Secretary may, in his discretion and with 
the consent of the owners, acquire lands or interests in lands that are 
in private ownership but which lie outside the revised boundary. 
Property so acquired outside the revised boundary and federally 
owned lands excluded from the monument pursuant to section 1 of this 
Act may be exchanged by the Secretary of the Interior for any land 
of approximately equal value within the revised boundaries. 
Nothing 
in this section shall be construed as repealing or limiting the existing 
jurisdiction, power, or authority of the Secretary prescribed by the 
public land laws. 
SEC. 3. There are authorized to be appropriated such sums, but not 
more than $15,000, as may be necessary for the acquisition of lands 
newly included within the boundaries of the monument as revised 
pursuant to this Act, 
Approved June 30, 1961.
