## SEC. 6 ADMINISTRATION OF HISTORICAL PARK.2 ###
(a)In General The Secretary shall administer the historical park in accordance with this Act and the laws generally applicable to units of the National Park System, including the Act entitled “An Act to establish a National Park Service, and for other purposes”, approved August 25, 1916 (16 U.S.C. 1 et seq.), and the Act entitled“An Act to provide for the preservation of historic American sites, buildings, objects, and antiquities of national historic significance, and for other purposes”, approved August 21, 1935 (16 U.S.C. 461 et seq.), except that the Secretary shall take no action with respect to the 60 acres owned by the State of Connecticut within the boundaries of the historical park until such time as the State has transferred all right, title, and interests therein to the Secretary. 2Section 2(b)(4)(A) of Public Law 116-305 provides for an amendment to the heading of section 6 of the Weir Farm National Historic Site Establishment Act of 1990 by striking “historic site” and inserting “historical park”. Such amendment should have been made to strike “HISTORIC SITE” and insert “HISTORICAL PARK”, however, it was carried out to reflect the probable intent of Congress. ###
