DIVISION I
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.
(d) PARK SERVICE EMPLOYEES.—(1) Any career em-
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.

tional Recreation Area in the State of California, and for
other purposes’’, approved October 27, 1972 (Public Law

ance with the general objectives of the General Manage-
ment Plan (hereinafter referred to as the ‘‘management

leases, contracts and other arrangements with any person,
firm, association, organization, corporation or govern-
mental entity, including, without limitation, entities of
Federal, State and local governments as are necessary and
appropriate to carry out its authorized activities. Any such
agreement may be entered into without regard to section
321 of the Act of June 30, 1932 (40 U.S.C. 303b). The
Trust shall establish procedures for lease agreements and
other agreements for use and occupancy of Presidio facili-
ties, including a requirement that in entering into such

ferred to the administrative jurisdiction of the Trust. Such

eral Government to the maximum extent possible. In car-
rying out this program, the Trust shall be treated as a
successor in interest to the National Park Service with re-
spect to compliance with the National Environmental Pol-
icy Act and other environmental compliance statutes. Such
program shall consist of—
(1) demolition of structures which in the opin-
ion of the Trust, cannot be cost-effectively rehabili-
tated, and which are identified in the management

against loss of principal or interest on any loan: Pro-
vided, That—

proved by the Secretary of the Treasury;
(B) adequate subsidy budget authority is
provided in advance in appropriations Acts; and
(C) such guarantees are structured so as
to minimize potential cost to the Federal Gov-
ernment. No loan guarantee under this title
shall cover more than 75 percent of the unpaid
balance of the loan. The Trust may collect a fee
sufficient to cover its costs in connection with
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.
(3) The authority to issue obligations to the
Secretary of the Treasury, but only if the Secretary
of the Treasury agrees to purchase such obligations
after determining that the projects to be funded
from the proceeds thereof are credit worthy and that

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,
taking into consideration current market yields on
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.
The Trust is encouraged to 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 exer-
