Prior to the issuance of a proclamation in accordance with the provisions of section 564q of

this title, the Secretary is authorized to undertake, within the limits of available appropriations, a special program of education and training designed to help the members of the tribe to

earn a livelihood, to conduct their own affairs,

without special services because of their status

as Indians. Such program may include language

customs and living standards, vocational training and related subjects, transportation to the

Notwithstanding the provisions of sections

564d and 564e of this title, and all Acts amendatory thereof—

(a) Designation of boundaries

The tribal lands that comprise the Klamath

Indian Forest, and the tribal lands that comprise the Klamath Marsh, shall be designated

by the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture, jointly.

(b) Sales; terms and conditions

The portion of the Klamath Indian Forest

that is selected for sale pursuant to section

564d(a)(3) of this title to pay members who

withdraw from the tribe shall be offered for

sale by the Secretary of the Interior in appropriate units, on the basis of competitive bids,

to any purchaser or purchasers who agree to

manage the forest lands as far as practicable

according to sustained yield procedures so as

to furnish a continuous supply of timber according to plans to be prepared and submitted

by them for approval and inclusion in the conveyancing instruments in accordance with

specifications and requirements referred to in

the invitations for bids: Provided, That no sale

shall be for a price that is less than the realization value of the units involved determined

as provided in subsection (c) of this section.

The terms and conditions of the sales shall be

prescribed by the Secretary. The specifications and minimum requirements to be included in the invitations for bids, and the determination of appropriate units for sale, shall

be developed and made jointly by the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture. Such plans when prepared by the

purchaser shall include provisions for the conservation of soil and water resources as well as

plans shall be satisfactory to and have the approval of the Secretary of Agriculture as complying with the minimum standards included

plan to the Secretary of Agriculture shall constitute grounds for rejection of such bid. Such

plans shall be incorporated as conditions in

Secretary and shall be binding on the grantee
