SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) Pressures of increasing population densities 
and development are evident in the areas sur-
rounding the boundaries of the Caribbean National 
Forest in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. 
(2) While portions of the Caribbean National 
Forest are already in close proximity to highly popu-
lated urban areas, lands adjacent to the National 
Forest in the northeastern part of the Common-
wealth are the focus for future housing and tourism 
developments. 
(3) Given these development pressures, the Sec-
retary of Agriculture needs to promptly implement a 
program of land acquisition to consolidate the man-
agement and buffer the urban development to the 
Caribbean National Forest. 
(4) Potential tracts of land for acquisition have 
already been identified and prioritized in a ten-year 
acquisition plan that is included in the land and re-
source management plan for the Caribbean National 
Forest. 
(5) The Secretary needs a reliable source of 
funds to support the needed land acquisition.

authorized by law for retention by the Secretary for any 
other purpose. Amounts made available under this sub-
section shall be available to the Secretary until expended 
and without further appropriation.

adjust the boundaries of the Caribbean National Forest
