What the document says
“It is the intent of Congress that the Secretary complete the conveyances to Cape Fox and Sealaska Corporation under subsections (a) and (b), respectively, as soon as practicable after the date on which the Secretary receives a written notice of the selection of Cape Fox under subsection (a), but not later than 180 days after the date on which the Secretary receives that written notice.”
Subsection (c). It states the intent of Congress that the Secretary of the Interior finish both conveyances as soon as practicable after receiving the written notice of selection, and no later than 180 days after receiving it. The subsection is written as an intent rather than as a direction.
What the document actually says
“It is the intent of Congress that the Secretary complete the conveyances to Cape Fox and Sealaska Corporation under subsections (a) and (b), respectively, as soon as practicable after the date on which the Secretary receives a written notice of the selection of Cape Fox under subsection (a), but not later than 180 days after the date on which the Secretary receives that written notice.”
That sentence, in plain words
Congress wants this done fast. It must be done within 180 days of the note.
What this is about
The law calls this the intent of Congress. It sets an outer limit of 180 days.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
