    Congress finds that--

                    (A) to promote the economic development of the

                    (D) for other purposes;
            (2) the Angostura Unit--
                    (A) is a component of the Pick-Sloan program; and
                    (B) provides for--
                            (i) irrigation of approximately 12,218

                        and
                            (ii) substantial recreation and fish and 
                        wildlife benefits;
            (3) the Commissioner of Reclamation has determined that--
                    (A) the national economic development benefits from 
                irrigation at the Angostura Unit total approximately 
                $3,410,000 annually; and
                    (B) the national economic development benefits of 
                recreation at Angostura Reservoir total approximately

        unemployment and poverty;
            (6) there is a need for economic development on the 
        Reservation;
            (7) the national economic development benefits of the 
        Angostura Unit do not extend to the Reservation;
            (8) the Angostura Unit may be associated with negative 
        effects on water quality and riparian vegetation in the 
        Cheyenne River on the Reservation;
            (9) modernization of the irrigation facilities at the 
        Angostura Unit would--
                    (A) enhance the national economic development 
                benefits of the Angostura Unit; and
                    (B) result in improved water efficiency and 
                environmental restoration benefits on the Reservation; 
                and
            (10) the establishment of a trust fund for the Oglala Sioux 
        Tribe would--
                    (A) produce economic development benefits for the 
                Reservation comparable to the benefits produced at the 
                Angostura Unit; and
                    (B) provide resources that are necessary for
