All money received by or on account of the Forest Service for timber, or from any other source of national-forest revenue, including moneys received from sale of products from or for the use of lands in national forests created under the authority of section 9 of the Clarke-McNary Act, and moneys received on account of permits for hunting, fishing, or camping on lands acquired under authority of the Weeks Law shall be covered into the Treasury of the United States as a miscellaneous receipt, except as provided in sections 500 and 501 of title 16, there is appropriated and made available, as the Secretary of Agriculture may direct out of any funds in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, so much as may be necessary to make refunds to depositors of money heretofore or hereafter deposited by them to secure the purchase price on the sale of any products or for the use of any land or resources of the national forests in excess of amounts found actually due from them to the United States and also so much as may be necessary to refund or pay over to the rightful claimants such sums as may be found by the Secretary of Agriculture to have been erroneously collected for the use of any lands, or for timber or other resources sold from lands located within, but not a part of, the National Forests, or for alleged illegal acts done upon such lands, which acts are subsequently found to have been proper and legal.
