The Secretary may accept title to any non-Federal lands, interests in lands, buildings, or other property, real or personal, within the authorized boundaries of the Glacier National Park, as established or changed conformably to law, when the acquisition by exchange of such property would, in his judgment, be in the best interests of the United States.
