(1) reducing Pick-Sloan project debt for the
Canyon Ferry Reservior;
(2) providing a permanent source of funding to
acquire public access, to conserve fish and wildlife,
and to enhance public hunting, fishing, and rec-
reational opportunities in the State of Montana;
(3) eliminating Federal payments in lieu of
taxes and associated management expenditures in
connection with the Federal Government’s ownership
of the Properties while increasing local tax revenues
from the new owners of the Properties; and
(4) eliminating expensive and contentious dis-
putes between the Secretary of the Interior and Les-
sees while ensuring that the Federal Government re-
ceives full and fair value for the conveyance of the
Properties.

SEC. 245. UTAH SCHOOLS AND LANDS EXCHANGE.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following:
(1) The State of Utah owns approximately
176,600 acres of land, as well as approximately
24,165 acres of mineral interests, administered by
the Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Ad-
ministration, within the exterior boundaries of the
Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, es-
tablished by Presidential proclamation on September
18, 1996, pursuant to section 2 of the Antiquities
Act of 1906 (16 U.S.C. 431). The State of Utah
also owns approximately 200,000 acres of land, and
76,000 acres of mineral interests, administered by
the Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Ad-
ministration, within the exterior boundaries of sev-
eral units of the National Park System and the Na-
tional Forest System, and within certain Indian res-
ervations in Utah. These lands were granted by Con-
gress to the State of Utah pursuant to the Utah En-
abling Act, chap. 138, 28 Stat. 107 (1894), to be
held in trust for the benefit of the State’s public
school system and other public institutions.
(2) Many of the State school trust lands within
the monument may contain significant economic
quantities of mineral resources, including coal, oil,
and gas, tar sands, coalbed methane, titanium, ura-
nium, and other energy and metalliferous minerals.
Certain State school trust lands within the Monu-
ment, like the Federal lands comprising the Monu-
ment, have substantial noneconomic scientific, his-
toric, cultural, scenic, recreational, and natural re-
sources, including ancient Native American archae-
ological sites and rare plant and animal commu-
nities.
(3) Development of surface and mineral re-
sources on State school trust lands within the monu-
ment could be incompatible with the preservation of
these scientific and historic resources for which the
monument was established. Federal acquisition of
State school trust lands within the monument would
eliminate this potential incompatibility, and would
enhance management of the Grand Staircase-
Escalante National Monument.
(4) The United States owns lands and interest
in lands outside of the monument that can be trans-
ferred to the State of Utah in exchange for the
monument inholdings without jeopardizing Federal
management objectives or needs.
(5) In 1993, Congress passed and the President
signed Public Law 103–93, which contained a proc-
ess for exchanging State of Utah school trust
inholdings in the National Park System, the Na-
tional Forest System, and certain Indian reserva-
tions in Utah. Among other things, it identified var-
ious Federal lands and interests in land that were
available to exchange for these State inholdings.
(6) Although Public Law 103–93 offered the
hope of a prompt, orderly exchange of State
inholdings for Federal lands elsewhere, implementa-
tion of the legislation has been very slow. Comple-
tion of this process is realistically estimated to be
many years away, at great expense to both the State
and the United States in the form of expert wit-
nesses, lawyers, appraisers, and other litigation
costs.
(7) The State also owns approximately 2,560
acres of land in or near the Alton coal field which
has been declared an area unsuitable for coal mining
under the terms of the Surface Mining Control and
Reclamation Act. This land is also administered by
the Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Ad-
ministration, but its use is limited given this dec-
laration.
(8) The large presence of State school trust
land inholdings in the monument, national parks,
national forests, and Indian reservations make land
and resource management in these areas difficult,
costly, and controversial for both the State of Utah
and the United States.
(9) It is in the public interest to reach agree-
ment on exchange of inholdings, on terms fair to
both the State and the United States. Agreement
saves much time and delay in meeting the expecta-
tions of the State school and institutional trusts, in
simplifying management of Federal and Indian lands
and resources, and in avoiding expensive, protracted
litigation under Public Law 103–93.
(10) The State of Utah and the United States
have reached an agreement under which the State
would exchange of all its State school trust lands
within the monument, and specified inholdings in
national parks, forests, and Indian reservations that
are subject to Public Law 103–93, for various Fed-
eral lands and interests in lands located outside the
monument, including Federal lands and interests
identified as available for exchange in Public Law
103–93 and additional Federal lands and interests
in lands.
(11) The State school trust lands to be con-
veyed to the Federal Government include properties
within units of the National Park System, the Na-
tional Forest System, and the Grand Staircase-
Escalante National Monument. The Federal assets
made available for exchange with the State were se-
lected with a great sensitivity to environmental con-
cerns and a belief and expectation by both parties
that Federal assets to be conveyed to the State
would be unlikely to trigger significant environ-
mental controversy.
(12) The parties agreed at the outset of nego-
tiations to avoid identifying Federal assets for con-
veyance to the State where any of the following was
known to exist or likely to be an issue as a result
of foreseeable future uses of the land: significant
wildlife resources, endangered species habitat, sig-
nificant archaeological resources, areas of critical en-
vironmental concern, coal resources requiring sur-
face mining to extract the mineral deposits, wilder-
ness study areas, significant recreational areas, or
any other lands known to raise significant environ-
mental concerns of any kind.
(13) The parties further agreed that the use of
any mineral interests obtained by the State of Utah
where the Federal Government retains surface and
other interest, will not conflict with established Fed-
eral land and environmental management objectives,
and shall be fully subject to all environmental regu-
lations applicable to development of non-Federal
mineral interest on Federal lands.
(14) Because the inholdings to be acquired by
the Federal Government include properties within
the boundaries of some of the most renowned con-
servation land units in the United States, and be-
cause a mission of the Utah School and Institutional
Trust Lands Administration is to produce economic
benefits for Utah’s public schools and other bene-
ficiary institutions, the exchange of lands called for
in this agreement will resolve many longstanding en-
vironmental conflicts and further the interest of the
State trust lands, the school children of Utah, and
these conservation resources.
(15) Under this Agreement taken as a whole,
the State interests to be conveyed to the United
States by the State of Utah, and the Federal inter-
ests and payments to be conveyed to the State of
Utah by the United States, are approximately equal
in value.
(16) The purpose of this section is to enact into
law and direct prompt implementation of this his-
toric agreement.

THE STATE OF UTAH AND THE DEPARTMENT OF THE IN-
TERIOR.—

STUDY.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following
findings:
(1) September 2, 1998, marked the 53d anni-
versary of the United States victory over Japan in
World War II.
(2) The Battle of Midway proved to be the
turning point in the war in the Pacific, as United
States Navy forces inflicted such severe losses on the
Imperial Japanese Navy during the battle that the
Imperial Japanese Navy never again took the offen-
sive against United States or allied forces.
(3) During the Battle of Midway on June 4,
1942, an outnumbered force of the United States
Navy, consisting of 29 ships and other units of the
Armed Forces under the command of Admiral Nim-
itz and Admiral Spruance, outmaneuvered and out-
fought 350 ships of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
(4) It is in the public interest to study whether
Midway Atoll should be established as a national
memorial to the Battle of Midway to express the en-
during gratitude of the American people for victory
in the battle and to inspire future generations of
122
Americans with the heroism and sacrifice of the
members of the Armed Forces who achieved that
victory.
(5) The historic structures on Midway Atoll
should be protected and maintained.
(b) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this section shall be
to require a study of the feasibility and suitability of des-
ignating the Midway Atoll as a national memorial to the
Battle of Midway within the boundaries of the Midway
Atoll National Wildlife Refuge. The study of the Midway
Atoll and its environs shall include, but not be limited to,
identification of interpretive opportunities for the edu-
cational and inspirational benefit of present and future
generations, and of the unique and significant cir-
cumstances involving the defense of the island by the
United States in World War II and the Battle of Midway.
(c) STUDY OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF MIDWAY
ATOLL AS A NATIONAL MEMORIAL TO THE BATTLE OF
MIDWAY.—
(1) IN
GENERAL.—Not later than 6 months

retary of the Interior, acting through the Director of
the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, shall
carry out a study of the suitability and feasibility of
establishing Midway Atoll as a national memorial to
123
the Battle of Midway. The Secretary shall carry out
the study in consultation with the Director of the
National Park Service, the International Midway
Memorial Foundation, Inc. (referred to in this sec-
tion as the ‘‘Foundation’’), the Veterans of Foreign
Wars, the Battle of Coral Sea Association, the
American Legion, or other appropriate veterans
group, respectively, and the Midway Phoenix Cor-
poration.
(2) CONSIDERATIONS.—In studying the estab-
lishment of Midway Atoll as a national memorial to
the Battle of Midway under paragraph (1), the Sec-
retary shall address the following:
(A) The appropriate Federal agency to
manage such a memorial, and whether and
under what conditions to lease or otherwise
allow the Foundation or another appropriate
entity to administer, maintain, and fully utilize
for use as a national memorial to the Battle of
Midway the lands (including any equipment, fa-
cilities, infrastructure, and other improvements)
and waters of Midway Atoll if designated as a
national memorial.
(B) Whether designation as a national me-
morial would conflict with current management
124
of Midway Atoll as a wildlife refuge and wheth-
er, and under what circumstances, the needs
and requirements of the wildlife refuge should
take precedence over the needs and require-
ments of a national memorial on Midway Atoll.
(C) Whether, and under what conditions,
to permit the use of the facilities on Sand Is-
land for purposes other than a wildlife refuge or
a national memorial.
(D) Whether to impose conditions on pub-
lic access to Midway Atoll if designated as a na-
tional memorial.
(d) REPORT.—Upon completion of the study required
under paragraph (1), the Secretary shall submit to the
Committee on Resources of the House of Representatives
and the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of
the Senate a report on the study, which shall include any
recommendations for further legislative action. The report
shall also include an inventory of all known past and
present facilities and structures of historical significance
on Midway Atoll and its environs. The report shall include
a description of each historic facility and structure and
a discussion of how each will contribute to the designation
and interpretation of the proposed national memorial.

regarding the future role of the Foundation or the Midway

ment of this Act between the United States Fish and
Wildlife Service and Midway Phoenix Corporation.
