            (2) the Saddleback Property abuts the north boundary of the 
        Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Reservation;
            (3) because the Saddleback Property includes Saddleback

        Improvement Act of 1990 (12 U.S.C. 1441a-3(b)), the Resolution

        property for sale;
            (5) the use and disposition of the Saddleback Property are

            (7) the Community, the City, and the Resolution Trust 
        Corporation resolved their differences concerning the 
        Saddleback Property by entering into an agreement that provides

        bid that has been tendered to the Resolution Trust Corporation, 
        of--
                    (A) a portion of the Saddleback Property to the

                    (B) the remaining portion of the Saddleback

                    (A) for a suitable level of conservation for the 
                areas referred to in paragraph (3); and

        Development Agreement, the Use Agreement, and all other 
        associated ancillary agreements and exhibits)--
                    (A) is carried out; and
