§425f Ascertaining and marking lines of battle

Summary

State officials from any State that had troops at Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania Court House, the Wilderness, Chancellorsville (including Salem Church), or any of those fights may enter the lands and approaches of the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania County Battle Fields Memorial to find and mark the battle lines. Before any line is made permanent, the exact locations and plans for monuments, tablets, designs, and inscriptions must be sent to and get written approval from the Secretary of the Interior. That approval will be based on formal written reports from the park commissioners. No State may be treated differently in designing lines, and any grant the Secretary gives to one State may be used by any other State.
