The Secretary is also authorized to employ, in his discretion, by 
contract or otherwise, landscape architects, architects, engineers, 
sculptors, artists, other expert consultants, or firms, partnerships, or 
associations thereof, and to include in any such contract provision for 
the utilization of the services and facilities, and the payment of the 
travel and other expenses, of their respective organizations, in 
accordance with the usual customs of the several professions and at the 
prevailing rates for such services and facilities, without regard to the 
civil-service laws or regulations, chapter 51 and subchapter III of 
chapter 53 of title 5, section 5 of title 41, or any other law or 
regulation relating to either employment or compensation.

city of Saint Louis for above-ground parking structures, under such 
terms and conditions as he may consider to be compatible with 
maintaining the integrity, appearance, and purposes of said memorial, 
such portion of the historic site as may in his judgment be excluded 
therefrom without detriment thereto, subject, however, to reversion of 
such portion of the historic site to the United States if such excluded 
area ceases to be used for parking purposes by said city.

(c) Easements; public protection

    The Secretary of the Interior is authorized to grant easements for 
the purpose of erecting under-ground structures suitable for public 
protection under such terms and conditions as he may consider to be
