SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) when the Chaco Culture National Historical Park was 
        established in 1907 as the Chaco Canyon National Monument, the 
        University of New Mexico owned a significant portion of the 
        land located within the boundaries of the Park;
            (2) during the period from the 1920's to 1947, the 
        University of New Mexico conducted archaeological research in 
        the Chaco Culture National Historical Park;
            (3) in 1949, the University of New Mexico--
                    (A) conveyed to the United States all right, title, 
                and interest of the University in and to the land in 
                the Park; and
                    (B) entered into a memorandum of agreement with the 
                National Park Service establishing a research 
                partnership with the Park;
            (4) since 1971, the Chaco Culture National Historical Park, 
        through memoranda of understanding and cooperative agreements 
        with the University of New Mexico, has maintained a research 
        museum collection and archive at the University;
            (5) both the Park and the University have large, 
        significant archaeological research collections stored at the 
        University in multiple, inadequate, inaccessible, and cramped 
        repositories; and
            (6) insufficient storage at the University makes research 
        on and management, preservation, and conservation of the 
        archaeological research collections difficult.
