All sums now held impounded by the State of Louisiana or the United States under the Interim Agreement of October 12, 1956, as amended, derived from leases of lands wholly within areas referred to in paragraph 1 hereof are hereby released to the State of Louisiana absolutely, and the State of Louisiana is relieved of any obligation under said agreement to impound any sums hereafter received by it from leases *32 of lands lying wholly within said area and the State of Louisiana is and shall be entitled to lease lands wholly within said areas and to directly receive any sums hereafter derivable therefrom.

6. Nothing in this decree or the proceedings leading to it shall prejudice any rights, claims or defenses of the United States or the State of Louisiana with respect to the remainder of the disputed area or past or future payments derived therefrom or attributable thereto or the operation of the Interim Agreement of October 12, 1956, as amended, with respect to such remaining disputed area and payments. Nor shall anything in this decree nor in the proceedings leading to it prejudice any rights, claims or defenses of the State of Louisiana as to its maritime lateral boundaries with the State of Mississippi and Texas, which boundaries are not at issue in this litigation.

7. The Court retains jurisdiction to entertain such further proceedings, enter such orders and issue such writs as may from time to time be deemed necessary or advisable to give proper force and effect to its previous orders or decrees herein or to this decree or to effectuate the rights of the parties in the premises.
