    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. LAND CONVEYANCE, ROLLA RANGER DISTRICT ADMINISTRATIVE SITE, 
              ROLLA, MISSOURI.

    (a) Conveyance Authorized.--Subject to the terms and conditions 
specified in this section, the Secretary of Agriculture may sell to the 
city of Rolla, Missouri (in this section referred to as the ``City''), 
all right, title, and interest of the United States in and to the 
following:
            The property identified as the Rolla Ranger District 
        Administrative Site of the Forest Service located in Rolla, 
        Phelps County, Missouri, encompassing ten acres more or less, 
        the conveyance of which by C.D. and Oma A. Hazlewood to the 
        United States was recorded on May 6, 1936, in book 104, page 
        286 of the Record of Deeds of Phelps County, Missouri.
    (b) Consideration.--As consideration for the conveyance under 
subsection (a), the City shall pay to the Secretary an amount equal to 
the fair market value of the property as determined by an appraisal 
acceptable to the Secretary and prepared in accordance with the Uniform 
Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisition as published by the 
Department of Justice. Payment shall be due in full within six months 
after the date the conveyance is made, or, at the option of the City, 
in twenty equal annual installments commencing on January 1 of the 
first year following the conveyance and annually thereafter until the 
total amount due has been paid.
    (c) Deposit of Funds Received.--Funds received by the Secretary 
under subsection (b) as consideration for the conveyance shall be 
deposited into the special fund in the Treasury authorized by the Act 
of December 4, 1967 (16 U.S.C. 484a, commonly known as the Sisk Act). 
Such funds shall be available, subject to appropriation, until expended 
by the Secretary.
    (d) Release.--Subject to compliance with all Federal environmental 
laws prior to transfer, the City, upon conveyance of the property under 
subsection (a), shall agree in writing to hold the United States 
harmless from any and all claims relating to the property including all 
claims resulting from hazardous materials on the conveyed lands.
    (e) Right of Reentry.--The conveyance to the City under subsection 
(a) shall be made by quitclaim deed in fee simple, subject to a right 
of reentry in the United States if the Secretary determines that the 
City is not in compliance with the compensation requirements specified 
in subsection (b) or other condition prescribed by the Secretary in the 
deed of conveyance.
    (f) Conservation of Historic Resources.--In consultation with the 
State Historic Preservation Office of the State of Missouri, the 
Secretary shall ensure that the historic resources on the property to 
be conveyed are conserved by requiring, at the closing on the 
conveyance of the property, that the City convey an historic 
preservation easement to the State of Missouri assuring the right of 
the State to enter the property for historic preservation purposes. The 
historic preservation easement shall be negotiated between the State of 
Missouri and the City, and the conveyance of the easement shall be a 
condition to the conveyance authorized under subsection (a). The 
protection of the historic resources on the conveyed property shall be 
the responsibility of the State of Missouri and the City, and not that 
of the Secretary.

            Passed the House of Representatives July 31, 1995.

            Attest:

                                                                 Clerk.
