SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) the historical significance of the 52-mile Going-to-
        the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park, Montana, is recognized 
        by its--
                    (A) listing on the National Register of Historic 
                Places in 1983;
                    (B) designation as a National Historic Engineering 
                Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 
                1985; and
                    (C) designation as a National Historic Landmark in 
                1997;
            (2) in 1997, recommendations of the Federal Highway 
        Administration concerning, and an engineering study of, the 
        Road verified significant structural damage to the Road has 
        occurred since the Road opened in 1932;
            (3) infrastructure at most of the developed areas in the 
        Park is inadequate for cold-season (fall, winter, and spring) 
        operation, and maintenance backlog needs exist for normal 
        summer operation;
            (4) the Many Glacier Hotel and Lake McDonald Lodge are on 
        the National Register of Historic Places and are National 
        Historic Landmarks;
            (5) other accommodations operated by the concessionaire 
        that have possessory interest and are listed on the National 
        Register of Historic Places are the Rising Sun Motor Inn and 
        Swiftcurrent Motel;
            (6) the historic hotels in the Park, operated under 
        concession agreements with the National Park Service, are 
        essential for public use and enjoyment of the Park;
            (7) visitors to the Park deserve safe hotels in the Park 
        that meet basic needs and expectations;
            (8) the historic hotels in the Park have deteriorated 
        significantly and need substantial repair;
            (9) repairs of the hotels in the Park have been deferred 
        for so long that, absent any changes to the Federal law 
        governing concessionaires and the availability of historic tax 
        credits for up to 39.5 years, the remodeling costs for the 
        hotels exceed the capacity of the hotel concessionaire to 
        finance the repairs with hotel revenues;
            (10) the remodeling costs of Park hotels are so high that 
        the concessionaire will need to finance the cost of those 
        repairs by borrowing the remodeling expenses and repaying them 
        over time out of net hotel income, which by current law is 
        limited to 20-year concession agreements;
            (11) the season of operation for hotels is about 4 months 
        because the developed areas of the Park lack--
                    (A) water, sewer, and fire protection systems that 
                can operate in freezing conditions;
                    (B) building insulation; and
                    (C) heating systems;
            (12) because of many factors, including the high projected 
        costs of remodeling, the relatively short tourist season in the 
        Park, and the requirement that concession agreements may not 
        exceed 20 years, concessionaires are unable to carry out the 
        scope of remodeling that is needed for the hotels in the Park;
            (13) the National Park Service Concessions Management 
        Improvement Act of 1998 (16 U.S.C. 5951 et seq.) is based on 
        sound principles and is achieving its basic purposes, but there 
        appear to be selected instances in which the National Park 
        Service needs additional authority to conduct demonstration 
        projects; and
            (14) a demonstration project is needed to carry out repairs 
        of the historic hotels in the Park.

                            (ii) available at a reasonable rate--
                                    (I) to be approved by the Secretary 
                                in accordance with section 406 of the 
                                National Park Service Concessions

                                time by the concessionaire that 
                                financed the improvements;
                    (B) the leased property will be properly maintained 
                by the lessee, and, with respect to historic property 
                that may be leased, preserved, and maintained in a 
                manner consistent with the historic character of the 
                property, as determined by the Secretary; and
                    (C) assure the lessee of adequate protection 
                against any loss of investment in an improvement to

                that the Secretary determines to be prudent).

SECTION 1. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.

    The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The People's Liberation Army is the principal 
        instrument of repression within the People's Republic of China, 
        responsible for occupying Tibet since 1950, massacring hundreds 
        of students and demonstrators for democracy in Tiananmen Square 
        on June 4, 1989, and running the Laogai (``reform through 
        labor'') slave labor camps.
            (2) The People's Liberation Army is engaged in a massive 
        military buildup, which has involved a doubling since 1992 of 
        announced official figures for military spending by the 
        People's Republic of China.
            (3) The People's Liberation Army is engaging in a major 
        ballistic missile modernization program which could undermine 
        peace and stability in East Asia, including 2 new 
        intercontinental missile programs, 1 submarine-launched missile 
        program, a new class of compact but long-range cruise missiles, 
        and an upgrading of medium- and short-range ballistic missiles.
            (4) The People's Liberation Army is working to coproduce 
        the SU-27 fighter with Russia, and is in the process of 
        purchasing several substantial weapons systems from Russia, 
        including the 633 model of the Kilo-class submarine and the SS-
        N-22 Sunburn missile system specifically designed to 
        incapacitate United States aircraft carriers and Aegis 
        cruisers.
            (5) The People's Liberation Army has carried out acts of 
        aggression in the South China Sea, including the February 1995 
        seizure of the Mischief Reef in the Spratley Islands, which is 
        claimed by the Philippines.
            (6) In July 1995 and in March 1996, the People's Liberation 
        Army conducted missile tests to intimidate Taiwan when Taiwan 
        held historic free elections, and those tests effectively 
        blockaded Taiwan's 2 principal ports of Keelung and Kaohsiung.
            (7) The People's Liberation Army has contributed to the 
        proliferation of technologies relevant to the refinement of 
        weapons-grade nuclear material, including transferring ring 
        magnets to Pakistan.
            (8) The People's Liberation Army and associated defense 
        companies have provided ballistic missile components, cruise 
        missiles, and chemical weapons ingredients to Iran, a country 
        that the executive branch has repeatedly reported to Congress 
        is the greatest sponsor of terrorism in the world.
            (9) In May 1996, United States authorities caught the 
        People's Liberation Army enterprise Poly Technologies and the 
        civilian defense industrial company Norinco attempting to 
        smuggle 2,000 AK-47s into Oakland, California, and offering to 
        sell urban gangs shoulder-held missile launchers capable of 
        ``taking out a 747'' (which the affidavit of the United States 
        Customs Service of May 21, 1996, indicated that the 
        representative of Poly Technologies and Norinco claimed), and 
        Communist Chinese authorities punished only 4 low-level arms 
        merchants by sentencing them on May 17, 1997, to brief prison 
        terms.
            (10) The People's Liberation Army contributes to the 
        People's Republic of China's failure to meet the standards of 
        the 1995 Memorandum of Understanding with the United States on 
        intellectual property rights by running factories which pirate 
        videos, compact discs, and computer software that are products 
        of the United States.
            (11) The People's Liberation Army contributes to the 
        People's Republic of China's failing to meet the standards of 
        the February 1997 Memorandum of Understanding with the United 
        States on textiles by operating enterprises engaged in the 
        transshipment of textile products to the United States through 
        third countries.
            (12) The estimated $2 billion to $3 billion in annual 
        earnings of People's Liberation Army enterprises subsidize the 
        expansion and activities of the People's Liberation Army 
        described in this subsection.
            (13) The commercial activities of the People's Liberation 
        Army are frequently conducted on noncommercial terms, or for 
        noncommercial purposes such as military or foreign policy 
        considerations.
