National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015, section 3003, the United States Congress' own 2014 statutory text authorizing the Southeast Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation Act, is the legislative instrument that transferred the Oak Flat land to enable the proposed copper mine. Its strength is that it is the primary legislative text itself, the authoritative record of what Congress enacted. Its limit is that it is the statute's own text, not an independent historical or religious studies account of the Oak Flat dispute it created, which needs separate sources.
