§695l Dedication of lands within boundaries of refuges to wildlife conservation; administration of lands for waterfowl management and optimum agricultural use; homestead entry prohibition; inclusion of other public lands; property of the United States

Summary

All U.S. land inside the Executive order boundaries of Tule Lake, Lower Klamath, Upper Klamath, and Clear Lake wildlife refuges is set aside for wildlife. The Secretary of the Interior must run these lands mainly to manage waterfowl. Farming may be allowed if it supports that goal. None of these lands can be opened for homestead entry. Hanks Marsh and about 1,440 acres of first form withdrawal land next to Upper Klamath, White Lake (in Klamath County, OR and Siskiyou County, CA), thirteen tracts in Siskiyou County lettered A–L and N totaling about 3,292 acres, and tract P in Modoc County of about 10 acres are included. They are shown on plate 4 of the report titled "Plan for Wildlife Use of Federal Lands in the Upper Klamath Basin, Oregon-California," dated April 1956. All these lands must remain the property of the United States.
