4 SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

5 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that:

6 (1) Walnut Canyon National Monument was es7 tablished for the preservation and interpretation of

8 certain settlements and land use patterns associated

9 with the prehistoric Sinaguan culture of northern

10 Arizona.

11 (2) Major cultural resources associated with the

12 purposes of Walnut Canyon National Monument are

13 near the boundary and are currently managed under

14 multiple-use objectives of the adjacent national forest.

15 These concentrations of cultural resources, often re16 ferred to as ‘‘forts’’, would be more effectively man17 aged as part of the National Park System.

18 (b) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this Act is to modify

19 the boundaries of the Walnut Canyon National Monument

20 (hereafter in this Act referred to as the ‘‘national monu21 ment’’) to improve management of the national monument

22 and associated resources.
