The manage- ment plan shall, among other provisions, set forth the desired relationship of the national monument to other related resources, programs, and organi- zations in New York City and other locations, provide for maximum public involvement in its development, and identify steps to be taken to provide interpretive opportunities for the entirety of the National Historic Land- mark and related sites in New York City. Further, to the extent authorized by law, the Secretary, acting through the NPS, shall promulgate any addi- tional regulations needed for the proper care and management of the ob- jects identified above. The establishment of this monument is subject to valid existing rights. Nothing in this proclamation shall be deemed to revoke any existing with- drawal, reservation, or appropriation; however, the national monument shall be the dominant reservation. Warning is hereby given to all unauthorized persons not to appropriate, in- jure, destroy, or remove any feature of this monument and not to locate or settle upon any lands thereof. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-seventh day of February, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Inde- pendence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirtieth.
