    ``(2) The balance of the CIRI Property Account shall be increased 
by an amount equal to the fair market value of the subsurface estate of 
the approximately 61,440 acres of deficiency selections made by 
Alexander Creek, as described in paragraph (1): Provided, That the 
value of such subsurface estate shall not be less than 61,440 
multiplied by the acre equivalent value of the Region's entitlement 
lands under paragraph (2) of the second section of 12(b)(7)(iv) of the 
Act of January 2, 1976 (Public Law 94-204). The funds added to the CIRI 
Property Account pursuant to this subsection shall be segregated from 
all other funds therein by a method to be mutually agreed by CIRI and 
the Secretary of the Treasury.
    ``(e) Land Exchange.--The Secretary of the Interior shall enter 
into negotiations with Alexander Creek, no later than 180 days after 
the date of the enactment of this Act, to attempt to conclude, under 
the authority of section 22(f), a land exchange to acquire lands not 
within any conservation system unit from the State of Alaska or the 
Matanuska-Susitna Borough under the same procedures set forth in 
section 22(f) to enable Alexander Creek to obtain additional public 
lands within Alexander Creek's original withdrawal area in Alaska, as 
identified by Alexander Creek. The subsurface to lands conveyed to 
Alexander Creek under subsection (d) shall be conveyed, without 
consideration, to the Region and shall be treated for all purposes as 
subsurface land conveyed to the Region under section 14(f). Any land 
exchange to be undertaken pursuant to this subsection must be approved 
by Alexander Creek, and must be completed no later than 36 months after 
the date of the enactment of this Act.
    ``(f) Adjustment in Account.--If a conveyance of surface estate is 
made to Alexander Creek pursuant to subsection (e), the Alexander Creek 
account shall be reduced by the amount of the actual acres conveyed 
multiplied by the average value per acre of the surface acres appraised 
under subsection (g). If a conveyance of subsurface estate is made to 
the Region pursuant to subsection (d), the CIRI Property Account shall 
be reduced by the amount of the actual acres conveyed multiplied by the 
average value per acre of the subsurface acres appraised under 
subsection (g).
    ``(g) Appraisal.--(1)(A) Subject to subsection (d)(2), the 
Secretary shall determine the amount to be deposited into the Alexander 
Creek and CIRI Property accounts by separately appraising, on a 
reasonable basis, based on all available evidence, the fair market 
value, as of the date of the enactment of this section, of the surface 
and subsurface of each section selected as a separate parcel and 
considering that `public interest' use may be the highest and best use 
of such parcels.
    ``(B) Alexander Creek and the Region shall each have the 
opportunity to present evidence of value to the Secretary solely with 
respect to the respective estates involved, comprising surface estate 
for Alexander Creek and subsurface estate for the Region. The Secretary 
shall provide Alexander Creek and the Region with a preliminary draft 
of the appraisal. Alexander Creek and the Region shall have a 
reasonable and sufficient opportunity to comment on the appraisal.
    ``(2) The Secretary shall forward a certified copy of the appraisal 
of their separate and respective estates each to Alexander Creek, and 
the Region.
    ``(h) Implementation.--(1) Alexander Creek may assign to any person 
or corporation without restriction any or all of the Alexander Creek 
account upon written notification to the Secretary of the Treasury and 
the Secretary of the Interior. In the event that such an assignment is 
made to the Region, on notice from Alexander Creek to the Secretary of 
the Treasury and the Secretary of the Interior, and subject to the 
written consent of the Region in its sole and absolute discretion, the 
amount of such assignment shall be added to or made a part of the CIRI 
Property Account, and may be used in the same manner as other funds in 
that account.
    ``(2) Except for such lands as Alexander Creek has received prior 
to enactment of this section, and such lands it is entitled to recover 
as a Group Corporation, upon completion by the Secretary of the 
Interior of the appraisal process pursuant to subsection (g), and 
notification to the Secretary from Alexander Creek that Alexander Creek 
accepts the results of the appraisal process, Alexander Creek shall be 
deemed to have accepted the terms of this section in lieu of any other 
land entitlement it could have received as a village pursuant to this 
Act, including, without limitation, any lands it would have received 
pursuant to section 12(b). Such acceptance shall satisfy all claims 
Alexander Creek had or may have had against the United States on the 
date of the enactment of this section.
    ``(3) Any land acquired by Alexander Creek with funds from the 
Alexander Creek account shall be deemed to be a conveyance pursuant to 
this Act.
    ``(i) Treatment of Amounts From the Alexander Creek Account.--The 
Secretary of the Treasury and the heads of agencies shall administer 
sales pursuant to this section in the same manner as is provided for 
any other Native village authorized by law as of the date of the 
enactment of this section (including the use of similar accounts for 
bidding on and purchasing property sold for public sale).
    ``(j) Limitation on Agents' and Attorneys' Fees.--No more than 2.5 
percent of payments received by or on behalf of Alexander Creek under 
this section may be paid to or received by any agent or attorney for 
services rendered in connection with obtaining such payment, any 
contract to the contrary notwithstanding. Any person who violates this 
subsection shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be subject to a 
fine in the amount provided in title 18, United States Code.
    ``(k) Shareholder Participation.--Alexander Creek shall notify each 
member of the Native village recognized under this section that, upon 
the effective date of this provision, such members shall cease to 
receive benefits from the Region as at-large shareholders pursuant to 
section 7(m), and that all future resource payments from the Region 
shall be made to the Village Corporation pursuant to section 7(j). The 
Region shall not be liable under any State, Federal or local law, or 
under State or Federal common law, for damages arising out of or 
related to the cessation of payments to such individuals under section 
7(m) pursuant to this section.
    ``(l) Statutory Construction.--Nothing in this section shall be 
construed to--
            ``(1) limit, alter, violate, breach, or otherwise affect 
        the rights of any party under a contract, settlement agreement, 
        or land exchange entered into prior to enactment of this 
        section between Alexander Creek and any party, or one or more 
        parties to any contract, settlement, agreement, or land 
        exchange predicated upon Alexander Creek's Native village 
        status under this Act; or
            ``(2) diminish, reduce, or modify the acreage entitlement 
        to which Alexander Creek became entitled to as a Group 
        Corporation.''.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Secure Embassy Construction and 
Counterterrorism Act of 1999''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) On August 17, 1998, two United States embassies in 
        Nairobi, Kenya, and in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, were destroyed 
        by simultaneously exploding bombs. The resulting explosions 
        killed 220 persons and injured more than 4,000 others. Twelve 
        Americans and 40 Kenyan and Tanzanian employees of the United 
        States Foreign Service were killed in the attack.
            (2) The United States personnel in both Dar Es Salaam and 
        Nairobi showed leadership and personal courage in their 
        response to the attacks. Despite the havoc wrecked upon the 
        embassies, staff in both embassies provided rapid response in 
        locating and rescuing victims, providing emergency assistance, 
        and quickly restoring embassy operations during a crisis.
            (3) The bombs are believed to have been set by individuals 
        associated with Osama bin Laden, leader of a known 
        transnational terrorist organization. In February of 1998 Bin 
        Laden issued a directive to his followers that called for 
        attacks against American interests anywhere in the world.
            (4) Following the bombings, additional threats have been 
        made against United States diplomatic facilities.
            (5) A review board was convened following the bombings, as 
        required by Public Law 99-399. The panel was chaired by Admiral 
        William J. Crowe, United States Navy (Ret).
            (6) The conclusions of the Crowe panel are strikingly 
        similar to those stated by the Inman Commission, which issued 
        an extensive embassy security report more than 14 years ago.
            (7) Admiral Crowe's panel issued a report setting out the 
        following two striking problems:
                    (A) The United States has devoted inadequate 
                resources towards security against terrorist attacks.
                    (B) The United States Government places too low a 
                priority on security concerns. The result has been a 
                failure to take adequate steps to prevent tragedies 
                such as the bombings in Kenya and Tanzania.
            (8) The Crowe panel found that there was an institutional 
        failure on the part of the Department of State and embassies 
        under its direction, to recognize threats posed by 
        transnational terrorism and vehicular bombs.
            (9) Responsibility for obtaining adequate resources for 
        security programs is widely shared throughout the United States 
        Government, including Congress. Unless the vulnerabilities 
        identified in the Crowe report are addressed in a sustained and 
        financially realistic manner, the lives and safety of United 
        States employees in diplomatic facilities will continue to be 
        at risk from further terrorist attacks.
            (10) Although service in the Foreign Service or other 
        Government positions in foreign countries can never be 
        completely without risk, the United States must ensure that the 
        risks are kept to a minimum.

SEC. 3. UNITED STATES DIPLOMATIC FACILITY DEFINED.

    In this Act, the term ``United States diplomatic facility'' means 
any embassy, chancery, legation, consulate or other office building or 
structure used by a United States diplomatic mission or consular post 
or by any agency of the United States.

SEC. 4. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.

    (a) Authority.--The Secretary of State may use funds available 
under the account established in subsection (b) for the purposes of 
constructing, or providing security upgrades to, United States 
diplomatic facilities in order to meet the security requirements set 
forth in section 6.
    (b) Establishment of Account.--There is established in the general 
fund of the Treasury of the United States an appropriations account for 
the Department of State which shall be known as the ``Embassy 
Construction and Security'' account.
    (c) Certification.--Prior to obligation of any amount from the 
Embassy Construction and Security account, the Secretary of State shall 
certify to Congress, in classified form, that construction or upgrading 
of the United States diplomatic facility is necessary to bring the 
United States into compliance with all applicable security 
requirements, including those requirements set forth in section 6.
    (d) Authorization of Appropriations.--
            (1) In general.--There are authorized to be appropriated to 
        the Department of State under ``Embassy Construction and 
        Security''--
