Title 16 › Chapter CHAPTER 5A— - PROTECTION AND CONSERVATION OF WILDLIFE › Subchapter SUBCHAPTER I— - GAME, FUR-BEARING ANIMALS, AND FISH › § 667
Summary
Money set aside to run and care for wildlife refuges under the Interior Department can be used to buy and ship supplies from Department supply depots. Supplies may be sold at cost to specific projects, and funds can be moved so the project using them pays. Leftover depot stock may be used in later fiscal years, and purchases can't be made just to inflate inventory beyond reasonable current needs.
