Sec. 202. (a) Any Federal agency and the District of Columbia having control and jurisdiction over any land at or near the site of the bridge shall transfer to the Secretary, upon his request, any such lands to be occupied by the bridge or approaches thereto. (b) The Secretary may acquire by purchase or by condemnation any land in the State of Maryland, not under Federal or District jurisdiction or control, needed for the construction of such bridge, title to such land to be taken directly to and in the name of the United States. In case a price satisfactory to the Secretary cannot be agreed upon for the purchase of such land or in case the title cannot be made satisfactory to the Attorney General of the United States, then the latter is directed to procure such land by condemnation, and the expenses of procuring evidence of title, or condemnation, or both, shall be paid from funds made available for the purposes of this title.
