Codification
Words in the Wichita National Forest and in the Grand Canyon National Forest inserted, and Secretary of the Interior and Secretary of Agriculture, respectively substituted for Secretary of Agriculture because of Reorg.

The successor to Wichita National Forest, which was then administered by that Bureau, was affected by the transfer. However, the successor to Grand Canyon National Forest was administered by Forest Service and was consequently not affected.
