Pub. L. 100-446, tit. II, sec. 3

Sec. 3. Subject to the availability of donated and appropriated funds, if by October 1, 1988, the Secretary or a cooperating entity has not acquired title or a land purchase option or contract to purchase the lands referenced in section 1, less any exclusions, the Secretary is directed to condemn such lands, or portions thereof, commensurate with available funds. Condemnation shall be as soon as possible after October 1, 1988, by a declaration of taking filed in accordance with the Act of February 26, 1931 (40 U.S.C. 258a, as amended). Nothing herein shall preclude filing of a condemnation action at any time if the Secretary deems further negotiations for the acquisition of the Diamond lands to be futile or if the condemnation is for the purpose of clearing title. No Congressional oversight or approval shall be required for the filing of a declaration of taking or any other aspect of the land acquisitions herein authorized, it being the intent of the Congress that the Diamond lands be acquired as soon as practicable.
