(a) UNAVAILABILITY
OF
CERTAIN
LANDS.—The
Congress, by enacting the Act entitled ‘‘An Act to estab-
lish the Manzanar National Historic Site in the State of
California, and for other purposes’’, approved March 3,
1992 (106 Stat. 40; Public Law 102–248), (1) provided
for the protection and interpretation of the historical, cul-
tural, and natural resources associated with the relocation
of Japanese-Americans during World War II and estab-
lished the Manzanar National Historic Site in the State
of California, and (2) authorized the Secretary of the Inte-
rior to acquire lands or interests therein within the bound-
ary of the Historic Site by donation, purchase with do-
nated or appropriated funds, or by exchange. The public
lands identified for disposal in the Bureau of Land Man-
agement’s Bishop Resource Area Resource Management
Plan that could be made available for exchange in support
of acquiring lands within the boundary of the Historic Site
are currently unavailable for this purpose because they are
withdrawn by an Act of Congress.

land base with which to allow land exchanges in support
of acquiring lands within the boundary of the Manzanar
National Historic Site, the withdrawal of the following de-
scribed lands is terminated and such lands shall not be
subject to the Act of March 4, 1931 (chap. 517; 46 Stat.
