TITLE I—THE PRESIDIO OF SAN
FRANCISCO
SEC. 101. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds that—
(1) the Presidio, located amidst the incomparable scenic
splendor of the Golden Gate, is one of America’s great natural
and historic sites;
(2) the Presidio is the oldest continuously operated military
post in the Nation dating from 1776, and was designated a
National Historic Landmark in 1962;
(3) preservation of the cultural and historic integrity 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 accordance with Public Law
92–589;
(5) as part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area,
the Presidio’s significant natural, historic, scenic, cultural, and
recreational resources must be managed in a manner which
is consistent with sound principles of land use planning and
management, and which protects the Presidio from development
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 structures within
the Presidio must be considered as a management option in
the administration of the Presidio; and
(7) the Presidio will be managed through an innovative
public/private partnership that minimizes cost to the United
States Treasury and makes efficient use of private sector
resources.
SEC. 102. AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITY OF THE SECRETARY OF
THE INTERIOR.
(a) INTERIM AUTHORITY.—The Secretary of the Interior (herein-
after in this title referred to as the ‘‘Secretary’’) is authorized
to manage leases in existence on the date of this Act for properties
under the administrative jurisdiction of the Secretary and located
at the Presidio. 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 Presidio Trust under this title, however,
the Secretary is authorized 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 property to the Presidio
Trust, and notwithstanding section 1341 of title 31 of the United
H. R. 4236—6
States Code, the proceeds from any such lease shall be retained
by the Secretary and such proceeds shall be available, without
further appropriation, 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, restora-
tion, 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 edu-
cational programs on all lands within the Presidio.
(c) OTHER.—Those lands and facilities within the Presidio that
are not transferred to the administrative jurisdiction of the Presidio
Trust shall continue to be managed 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.
(d) PARK SERVICE EMPLOYEES.—(1) Any career employee of
the National Park Service, employed at the Presidio 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 employed 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
employee 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 position within the
National Park System notwithstanding any priority reemployment
lists, directives, rules, regulations or other orders from the Depart-
ment of the Interior, the Office of Management and Budget, or
other Federal agencies.

of the Treasury is authorized to use as a public debt transaction
the proceeds from the sale of any securities issued under chap-
ter 31 of title 31, United States Code, and the purposes for

tions issued under this subparagraph shall be in such forms
and denominations, 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, taking into consid-
eration current market yields on outstanding marketable
obligations of the United States of comparable maturities. No
funds appropriated to the Trust may be used for repayment
of principal or interest on, or redemption of, obligations issued
under this paragraph.
H. R. 4236—11

tions, corporations, and other private or public entities for the

maintain a liaison with the Golden Gate National Park Association.
(f) PUBLIC AGENCY.—The Trust shall be deemed to be a public
agency for purposes of entering into joint exercise of powers agree-
ments pursuant to California government code section 6500 and
related provisions of that Code.

Treasury taking into consideration the current average market
yield on outstanding marketable obligations of the United States
of comparable maturity.
(h) SUITS.—The Trust may sue and be sued in its own name
to the same extent as the Federal Government. Litigation arising
out of the activities of the Trust shall be conducted by the Attorney

amend, repeal, and enforce bylaws, rules and regulations governing
the manner in which its business may be conducted and the powers
vested in it may be exercised. The Trust is authorized, in consulta-
tion with the Secretary, to adopt and to enforce those rules and

(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds and declares that:
(1) In 1899, the citizens of Cuprum, Idaho, commissioned
E.S. Hesse to conduct a survey describing 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 survey has
been used continuously by the community of Cuprum and by
Adams County, Idaho, as the official 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 description 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 townsite.
(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 acceptable 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

original patentee, Pitts Ellis, trustee, and Probate Judge of
H. R. 4236—19
Washington County, Idaho, or any successors or assigns in interest
in accordance with State law. The Secretary of Agriculture may
correct clerical and typographical errors in such plat.
