Provided, That the total of all contributions from any Federal source

contributions are a full and final settlement of all obligations of the 
United States to assist in the resettlement of Rongelop Atoll and that 
such funds will be expended solely on resettlement activities and will 
be properly audited and accounted for. In order to provide such 
contributions in a timely manner, each Federal agency providing 
assistance or services, or conducting activities, in the Republic of 
the Marshall Islands, is authorized to make funds available through the 
Secretary of the Interior, to assist in the resettlement of Rongelap. 
Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to limit the provision of 
ex gratia assistance pursuant to section 105(c)(2) of the Compact of 
Free Association Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-239, 99 Stat. 1770, 1792) 
including for individuals choosing not to resettle at Rongelap, except 
that no such assistance for such individuals may be provided until the 
Secretary notifies the Congress that the full amount of all funds 
necessary for resettlement at Rongelap has been provided.''.

and numerators of the total revenues received from such sales on lands 
within the National Forest System and the total revenues received from 
such sales on lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management, 
respectively: Provided, That revenues or portions thereof from sales 
released under such section 2001(k), minus the amounts necessary for 
State and local government payments and other necessary deposits, may 
be deposited into the Funds immediately upon receipt thereof and 
subsequently redistributed between the Funds or paid into the United 
States Treasury as miscellaneous receipts as may be required when the 
calculation of excess revenues is made.

the Interior Fund pursuant to subsection (a)--
        (A) seventy-five percent shall be available, without fiscal 
    year limitation or further appropriation, for preparation of timber 
    sales, other than salvage sales as defined in section 2001(a)(3) of

    Assistance and Rescissions Act, which--

        and lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management, 
        respectively; and
            (ii) are in addition to timber sales for which funds are 
        otherwise available in this Act or other appropriations Acts; 
        and
        (B) twenty-five percent shall be available, without fiscal year 
    limitation or further appropriation, to expend on the backlog of 
    recreation projects on lands within the National Forest System and 
    lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management, respectively.
    (2) Expenditures under this subsection for preparation of timber 
sales may include expenditures for Forest Service activities within the 
forest land management budget line item and associated timber roads, 
and Bureau of Land Management activities within the Oregon and 
California grant lands account and the forestry management area 
account, as determined by the Secretary concerned.
    (c) Revenues received from any timber sale prepared under 
subsection (b) or under this subsection, minus the amounts necessary 
for State and local government payments and other necessary deposits, 
shall be deposited into the Fund from which funds were expended on such 
sale. Such deposited revenues shall be available for preparation of 
additional timber sales and completion of additional recreation 
projects in accordance with the requirements set forth in subsection 
(b).
    (d) The Secretary concerned shall terminate all payments into the 
Agriculture Fund or the Interior Fund, and pay any unobligated funds in 
the affected Fund into the United States Treasury as miscellaneous 
receipts, whenever the Secretary concerned makes a finding, published 
in the Federal Register, that sales sufficient to achieve the total 
allowable sales quantity of the National Forest System for the Forest 
Service or the allowable sales level for the Oregon and California 
grant lands for the Bureau of Land Management, respectively, have been 
prepared.
    (e) Any timber sales prepared and recreation projects completed 
under this section shall comply with all applicable environmental and 
natural resource laws and regulations.
    (f) The Secretary concerned shall report annually to the Committees 
on Appropriations of the United States Senate and the House of 
Representatives on expenditures made from the Fund for timber sales and 
recreation projects, revenues received into the Fund from timber sales, 
and timber sale preparation and recreation project work undertaken 
during the previous year and projected for the next year under the 
Fund. Such information shall be provided for each Forest Service region 
and Bureau of Land Management State office.

    no funding provided through a grant, except a grant made to a State

    direct grant recipient. Nothing in this subsection shall prohibit 
    payments made in exchange for goods and services.

are--
        (1) ``The arts and humanities belong to all the people of the 
    United States'';

    the adherents of a particular religion, or
        (2) depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual

of the Act.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, none of the 
scarce funds which have been taken from all taxpayers of the United

the Arts may be used to promote, disseminate, sponsor, or produce any 
material or performance that--
        (1) denigrates the religious objects or religious beliefs of 
    the adherents of a particular religion, or
        (2) depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual 
    or excretory activities or organs,
and this prohibition shall be strictly applied without regard to the 
content or viewpoint of the material or performance.
    (d) Section Not To Affect Other Works.--Nothing in this section
