Proc. No. 4359, eff. Mar. 28, 1975, 40 F.R. 14565, provided:

The Buck Island Reef National Monument, situated off the

northeast coast of Saint Croix Island in the Virgin Islands of the

United States, was established by Proclamation No. 3443 of December

28, 1961 (76 Stat. 1441). It now has been determined that

approximately thirty acres of submerged land should be added to the

monument site in order to insure the proper care and management of

the shoals, rocks, undersea coral reef formations and other objects

of scientific and historical interest pertaining to this National

Monument.

These thirty acres of submerged lands are presently owned in fee

by the United States. They will be conveyed to the Government of

the Virgin Islands on February 3, 1975, pursuant to Section 1(a) of

Public Law 93-435 (88 Stat. 1210) [subsec. (a) of this section],

Under Section 2 of the Act of June 8, 1906, 34 Stat. 225 (16

Proclamation objects of historic or scientific interest that are

situated upon the lands owned or controlled by the Government of

the United States to be national monuments, and may reserve as a

part thereof parcels of land, the limits of which in all cases

shall be confined to the smallest area compatible with the proper

care and management of the objects to be protected. The

aforementioned thirty acres of submerged lands are contiguous to

the site of the Buck Island Reef National Monument, constitute a

part of the ecological community of the Buck Island Reef, and will

not enlarge the monument boundaries beyond the smallest area

compatible with its proper care and management.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States

of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by Section

1(b)(vii) of Public Law 93-435 (88 Stat. 1210) [subsec. (b)(vii) of

do hereby proclaim that, subject to valid existing rights, the

lands hereinafter described are hereby added to and made a part of

the Buck Island Reef National Monument, and Proclamation No. 3443

of December 28, 1961, establishing the Buck Island Reef National

Monument is amended accordingly.
