transfer to the United States of America, all right, title, or interest which

Fairy Stone State Park and Staunton River State Park required in con-
nection with the construction and operation by the United States of the

America under such terms and conditions and for such consideration as
may be lawful, reasonable and proper.

ment, and shall be signed by the Director of Conservation and Develop-
ment and the Governor and shall be attested by the Secretary of the Com-

dred fifty, approved April four, nineteen hundred fifty, is repealed.
