    This Act may be cited as the ``Hood Bay Land Exchange Act of 
1997''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) The Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act 
    established the Admiralty Island National Monument which is managed 
    by the Secretary of Agriculture, by and through the Forest Service.
        (2) The Forest Service has established a policy of encouraging 
    the acquisition of private land inholdings within Admiralty Island 
    National Monument on a willing buyer/willing seller basis. Congress 
    has supported this policy, for example by passage of the Greens 
    Creek Land Exchange Act of 1996 which provided for a land exchange 
    of certain public and private lands in Admiralty Island National 
    Monument.
        (3) Lands owned by Alaska Pulp Corporation, consisting of 54 
    acres, more or less, located in Hood Bay on Admiralty Island within 
    the boundaries of the Kootznoowoo Wilderness are available for 
    transfer to Federal ownership on a willing seller/willing buyer 
    basis. The acquisition of these lands would provide Federal 
    ownership of this valuable land in a critical area of Admiralty 
    Island National Monument.
        (4) The United States is the owner of certain reversionary 
    interests to 143.87 acres, more or less, located adjacent to Silver 
    Bay near Sitka, Alaska, which interests were reserved in patent No. 
    1213671 issued to the Alaska Pulp Corporation on October 18, 1960. 
    The transfer of the reversionary interests of the United States in 
    such lands adjacent to Silver Bay to the Alaska Pulp Corporation 
    would facilitate future use and development of that land.
        (5) The future acquisition by the United States of the Chaik 
    Bay property on Admiralty Island to be incorporated into the 
    Kootznoowoo Wilderness would be in the public interest.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Secret Service Protective Privilege 
Act of 1999''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The physical safety of the Nation's top elected 
        officials is a public good of transcendent importance.
            (2) By virtue of the critical importance of the Office of 
        the President, the President and those in direct line of the 
        Presidency are subject to unique and mortal jeopardy--jeopardy 
        that in turn threatens profound disruption to our system of 
        representative government and to the security and future of the 
        Nation.
            (3) The physical safety of visiting heads of foreign states 
        and foreign governments is also a matter of paramount 
        importance. The assassination of such a person while on 
        American soil could have calamitous consequences for our 
        foreign relations and national security.
            (4) Given these grave concerns, Congress has provided for 
        the Secret Service to protect the President and those in direct 
        line of the Presidency, and has directed that these officials 
        may not waive such protection. Congress has also provided for 
        the Secret Service to protect visiting heads of foreign states 
        and foreign governments.
            (5) The protective strategy of the Secret Service depends 
        critically on the ability of its personnel to maintain close 
        and unremitting physical proximity to the protectee.
            (6) Secret Service personnel must remain at the side of the 
        protectee on occasions of confidential conversations and, as a 
        result, may overhear top secret discussions, diplomatic 
        exchanges, sensitive conversations, and matters of personal 
        privacy.
            (7) The necessary level of proximity can be maintained only 
        in an atmosphere of complete trust and confidence between the 
        protectee and his or her protectors.
            (8) If a protectee has reason to doubt the confidentiality 
        of actions or conversations taken in sight or hearing of Secret 
        Service personnel, the protectee may seek to push the 
        protective envelope away or undermine it to the point at which 
        it could no longer be fully effective.
            (9) The possibility that Secret Service personnel might be 
        compelled to testify against their protectees could induce 
        foreign nations to refuse Secret Service protection in future 
        state visits, making it impossible for the Secret Service to 
        fulfill its important statutory mission of protecting the life 
        and safety of foreign dignitaries.
            (10) A privilege protecting information acquired by Secret 
        Service personnel while performing their protective function in 
        physical proximity to a protectee will preserve the security of 
        the protectee by lessening the incentive of the protectee to 
        distance Secret Service personnel in situations in which there 
        is some risk to the safety of the protectee.
            (11) Recognition of a protective function privilege for the 
        President and those in direct line of the Presidency, and for 
        visiting heads of foreign states and foreign governments, will 
        promote sufficiently important interests to outweigh the need 
        for probative evidence.
            (12) Because Secret Service personnel retain law 
        enforcement responsibility even while engaged in their 
        protective function, the privilege must be subject to a crime/
        treason exception.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
            (1) to facilitate the relationship of trust and confidence 
        between Secret Service personnel and certain protected 
        officials that is essential to the ability of the Secret 
        Service to protect these officials, and the Nation, from the 
        risk of assassination; and
            (2) to ensure that Secret Service personnel are not 
        precluded from testifying in a criminal investigation or 
        prosecution about unlawful activity committed within their view 
        or hearing.

    ``(d) Concurrent Privileges.--The proximity of Secret Service

item relating to section 3056 the following:
