Sec. 315m-1. Lease of State, county, or privately owned lands; 
        period of lease; rental
        
    The Secretary of the Interior in his discretion is authorized to 
lease at rates to be determined by him any State, county, or privately 
owned lands chiefly valuable for grazing purposes and lying within the 
exterior boundaries of a grazing district when, in his judgment, the 
leasing of such lands will promote the orderly use of the district and 
aid in conserving the forage resources of the public lands therein: 
Provided, That no such leases shall run for a period of more than ten 
years and in no event shall the grazing fees paid the United States for 
the grazing privileges on any of the lands leased under the provisions 
of this section be less than the rental paid by the United States for 
any of such lands: Provided further, That nothing in this section shall 
be construed as authorizing the appropriation of any moneys except that 
moneys heretofore or hereafter appropriated for construction, purchase, 
and maintenance of range improvements within grazing districts, pursuant 
to the provisions of sections 315i and 315j of this title, may be made 
additionally available by Congress for the leasing of land under this 
section and sections 315m-2 to 315m-4 of this title.
