TITLE I—THE PRESIDIO OF SAN
FRANCISCO
SEC. 101. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds that—
(1) the Presidio, located amidst the incom-
parable scenic splendor of the Golden Gate, is one
of America’s great natural and historic sites;
(2) the Presidio is the oldest continuously oper-
ated military post in the Nation dating from 1776,
and was designated a National Historic Landmark
in 1962;
(3) preservation of the cultural and historic in-
tegrity of the Presidio for public use recognizes its
significant role in the history of the United States;
(4) the Presidio, in its entirety, is a part of the
Golden Gate National Recreation Area, in accord-
ance with Public Law 92–589;
(5) as part of the Golden Gate National Recre-
ation Area, the Presidio’s significant natural, his-
toric, scenic, cultural, and recreational resources
must be managed in a manner which is consistent
with sound principles of land use planning and man-
agement, and which protects the Presidio from de-
velopment and uses which would destroy the scenic
beauty and historic and natural character of the
area and cultural and recreational resources;
(6) removal and/or replacement of some struc-
tures within the Presidio must be considered as a
management option in the administration of the Pre-
sidio; and
(7) the Presidio will be managed through an in-
novative public/private partnership that minimizes
cost to the United States Treasury and makes effi-
cient use of private sector resources.
SEC. 102. AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITY OF THE SEC-
RETARY OF THE INTERIOR.
(a) INTERIM AUTHORITY.—The Secretary of the In-
terior (hereinafter in this title referred to as the ‘‘Sec-
retary’’) is authorized to manage leases in existence on
the date of this Act for properties under the administra-
tive jurisdiction of the Secretary and located at the Pre-
sidio. Upon the expiration of any such lease, the Secretary
may extend such lease for a period terminating not later
than 6 months after the first meeting of the Presidio
Trust. The Secretary may not enter into any new leases
for property at the Presidio to be transferred to the Pre-
sidio Trust under this title, however, the Secretary is au-
thorized to enter into agreements for use and occupancy
of the Presidio properties which are assignable to the
Trust and are terminable with 30 days notice. Prior to
the transfer of administrative jurisdiction over any prop-
erty to the Presidio Trust, and notwithstanding section
1341 of title 31 of the United States Code, the proceeds
from any such lease shall be retained by the Secretary and
such proceeds shall be available, without further appro-
priation, for the preservation, restoration, operation and
maintenance, improvement, repair and related expenses
incurred with respect to Presidio properties. The Secretary
may adjust the rental charge on any such lease for any
amounts to be expended by the lessee for preservation,
maintenance, restoration, improvement, repair and related
expenses with respect to properties and infrastructure
within the Presidio.
(b) PUBLIC INFORMATION AND INTERPRETATION.—
The Secretary shall be responsible, in cooperation with the
Presidio Trust, for providing public interpretive services,
visitor orientation and educational programs on all lands
within the Presidio.
(c) OTHER.—Those lands and facilities within the
Presidio that are not transferred to the administrative ju-
risdiction of the Presidio Trust shall continue to be man-
aged by the Secretary. The Secretary and the Presidio
Trust shall cooperate to ensure adequate public access to
all portions of the Presidio. Any infrastructure and build-
ing improvement projects that were funded prior to the
enactment of this Act shall be completed by the National
Park Service.

ployee of the National Park Service, employed at the Pre-
sidio at the time of the transfer of lands and facilities to
the Presidio Trust, shall not be separated from the Service
by reason of such transfer, unless such employee is em-
ployed by the Trust, other than on detail. Notwithstanding
section 3503 of title 5, United States Code, the Trust shall
have sole discretion over whether to hire any such em-
ployee or request a detail of such employee.
(2) Any career employee of the National Park Service
employed at the Presidio on the date of enactment of this
title shall be given priority placement for any available po-
sition within the National Park System notwithstanding
any priority reemployment lists, directives, rules, regula-
tions or other orders from the Department of the Interior,
the Office of Management and Budget, or other Federal
agencies.

each loan guaranteed under this title. The au-
thority to enter into any such loan guarantee
agreement shall expire at the end of 15 years
after the date of enactment of this title.
(2) The authority, subject to appropriations, to
make loans to the occupants of property managed by
the Trust for the preservation, restoration, mainte-
nance, or repair of such property.

of the Treasury agrees to purchase such obligations

The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to use
as a public debt transaction the proceeds from the
sale of any securities issued under chapter 31 of title
31, United States Code, and the purposes for which
securities may be issued under such chapter are ex-
tended to include any purchase of such notes or obli-
gations acquired by the Secretary of the Treasury
under this subsection. Obligations issued under this
subparagraph shall be in such forms and denomina-
tions, bearing such maturities, and subject to such
terms and conditions, as may be prescribed by the
Secretary of the Treasury, and shall bear interest at
a rate determined by the Secretary of the Treasury,

outstanding marketable obligations of the United
States of comparable maturities. No funds appro-
priated to the Trust may be used for repayment of
principal or interest on, or redemption of, obligations
issued under this paragraph.
(4) The aggregate amount of obligations issued
under this subsection which are outstanding at any
one time may not exceed $50,000,000.
(e) DONATIONS.—The Trust may solicit and accept
donations of funds, property, supplies, or services from in-
dividuals, foundations, corporations, and other private or
public entities for the purpose of carrying out its duties.

and maintenance, improvement, repair and related ex-
penses incurred with respect to Presidio properties under
its administrative jurisdiction. The Secretary of the Treas-
ury shall invest excess moneys of the Trust in public debt
securities which shall bear interest at rates determined by

the current average market yield on outstanding market-
able obligations of the United States of comparable matu-
rity.
(h) SUITS.—The Trust may sue and be sued in its
own name to the same extent as the Federal Government.

enter into a Memorandum of Agreement with the Sec-
retary, acting through the Chief of the United States Park
Police, for the conduct of law enforcement activities and
services within those portions of the Presidio transferred

bring all properties under its administrative jurisdiction
into compliance with Federal building codes and regula-
tions appropriate to use and occupancy within 10 years

ervation of historic buildings through their reuse of such
buildings.

SEC. 212. CUPRUM, IDAHO RELIEF.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds and declares
that:
(1) In 1899, the citizens of Cuprum, Idaho,
commissioned E.S. Hesse to conduct a survey de-
scribing these lands occupied by their community.
The purpose of this survey was to provide a basis for
the application for a townsite patent.
(2) In 1909, the Cuprum Townsite patent
(Number 52817) was granted, based on an aliquot
parts description which was intended to circumscribe
the Hesse survey.
(3) Since the day of the patent, the Hesse sur-
vey has been used continuously by the community of
Cuprum and by Adams Country, Idaho, as the offi-
cial townsite plat and basis for conveyance of title
within the townsite.
(4) Recent boundary surveys conducted by the
United States Department of Agriculture, Forest
Service, and the United States Department of the
Interior, Bureau of Land Management, discovered
inconsistencies between the official aliquot parts de-
scription of the patented Cuprum Townsite and the
Hesse survey. Many lots along the south and east
boundaries of the townsite are now known to extend
onto National Forest System lands outside the town-
site.
(5) It is the determination of Congress that the
original intent of the Cuprum Townsite application
was to include all the lands described by the Hesse
survey.
(b) PURPOSE.—It is the purpose of this section to
amend the 1909 Cuprum Townsite patent to include those
additional lands described by the Hesse survey in addition
to other lands necessary to provide an administratively ac-
ceptable boundary to the National Forest System.
(c) AMENDMENT OF PATENT.—The 1909 Cuprum
Townsite patent is hereby amended to include parcels 1
and 2, identified on the plat, marked as ‘‘Township 20
North, Range 3 West, Boise Meridian, Idaho, Section 10:
Proposed Patent Adjustment Cuprum Townsite, Idaho’’
prepared by Payette N.F.—Land Survey Unit, drawn and
approved by Tom Betzold, Forest Land Surveyor, on April
25, 1995. Such additional lands are hereby conveyed to
the original patentee, Pitts Ellis, trustee, and Probate
Judge of Washington County, Idaho, or any successors or
assigns in interest in accordance with State law. The Sec-
retary of Agriculture may correct clerical and typo-
graphical errors in such plat.
(d) SURVEY.—The Federal Government shall survey
the Federal property lines and mark and post the bound-
aries necessary to implement this section.

SEC. 302. ANAKTUVUK PASS LAND EXCHANGE.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following
findings:
(1) The Alaska National Interest Lands Con-
servation Act (94 Stat. 2371), enacted on December
2, 1980, established Gates of the Arctic National
Park and Preserve and Gates of the Arctic Wilder-
ness. The village of Anaktuvuk Pass, located in the
highlands of the central Brooks Range, is virtually
surrounded by these national park and wilderness
lands and is the only Native village located within
the boundary of a National Park System unit in
Alaska.
(2) Unlike most other Alaskan Native commu-
nities, the village of Anaktuvuk Pass is not located
on a major river, lake, or coastline that can be used
as a means of access. The residents of Anaktuvuk
Pass have relied increasingly on snow machines in
winter and all-terrain vehicles in summer as their
primary means of access to pursue caribou and
other subsistence resources.
(3) In a 1983 land exchange agreement, linear
easements were reserved by the Inupiat Eskimo peo-
ple for use of all-terrain vehicles across certain na-
tional park lands, mostly along stream and river
banks. These linear easements proved unsatisfactory,
because they provided inadequate access to subsist-
ence resources while causing excessive environmental
impact from concentrated use.
(4) The National Park Service and the
Nunamiut Corporation initiated discussions in 1985
to address concerns over the use of all-terrain vehi-
cles on park and wilderness land. These discussions
resulted in an agreement, originally executed in
1992 and thereafter amended in 1993 and 1994,
among the National Park Service, Nunamiut Cor-
poration, the City of Anaktuvuk Pass, and Arctic
Slope Regional Corporation. Full effectuation of this
agreement, as amended, by its terms requires ratifi-
cation by the Congress.
(b) RATIFICATION OF AGREEMENT.—
(1) RATIFICATION.—
(A) IN GENERAL.—The terms, conditions,
procedures, covenants, reservations, and other
provisions set forth in the document entitled
‘‘Donation, Exchange of Lands and Interests in

Pass and the United States of America’’ (here-
inafter referred to in this section as ‘‘the Agree-
ment’’), executed by the parties on December
17, 1992, as amended, are hereby incorporated
in this title, are ratified and confirmed, and set
forth the obligations and commitments of the
United States, Arctic Slope Regional Corpora-
tion, Nunamiut Corporation and the City of
Anaktuvuk Pass, as a matter of Federal law.
(B) LAND ACQUISITION.—Lands acquired
by the United States pursuant to the Agree-
ment shall be administered by the Secretary of
the Interior (hereinafter referred to as the

tional Park and Preserve, subject to the laws
and regulations applicable thereto.
(2) MAPS.—The maps set forth as Exhibits C1,
C2, and D through I to the Agreement depict the
lands subject to the conveyances, retention of sur-
face access rights, access easements and all-terrain

approximately 73,993 acres as wilderness, thus
revising the Gates of the Arctic Wilderness to
approximately 7,034,832 acres.
