private mineral interests in order to enhance land management 
capability and environmental and wildlife protection.
    (b) Exchange.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law--
            (1) if, not later than 45 days after the date of enactment 
        of this Act, Burlington Resources Oil & Gas Company (referred

        Meridian Oil Inc.), conveys title acceptable to the Secretary 
        of Agriculture (referred to in this section as the 
        ``Secretary'') to rights and interests identified on the map 
        entitled ``Billings County, North Dakota, Consolidated Mineral 
        Exchange--November 1995'', by quitclaim deed acceptable to the 
        Secretary, the Secretary shall convey to Burlington, subject to 
        valid existing rights, by quit-claim deed, all Federal rights 
        and interests identified on that map; and
            (2) if Burlington makes the conveyance under paragraph (1) 
        and, not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of 
        this Act, the owners of the remaining non-oil gas mineral 
        interests identified on that map convey title acceptable to the 
        Secretary to all rights, title, and interests in the interests 
        held by them, by quitclaim deed acceptable to the Secretary, 
        the Secretary shall convey to those owners, subject to valid 
        existing rights, by exchange deed, all Federal rights, title, 
        and interests in National Forest System lands and National 
        Grasslands in the State of North Dakota as are agreed to by the 
        Secretary and the owners of those interests.
    (c) Leasehold Interests.--As a condition precedent to the 
conveyance of interests by the Secretary to Burlington under this 
section, all leasehold and contractual interests in the oil and gas 
interests to be conveyed by Burlington to the United States under this 
section shall be released, to the satisfaction of the Secretary.

        applicable Federal and State laws.
            (2) Surface occupancy and use.--Rights to surface occupancy 
        and use that Burlington would have absent the exchange under 
        this Act on its interests conveyed under this Act shall apply 
        to the same extent on the federally owned surface estate 
        overlying oil and gas rights conveyed to Burlington under this 
        Act.
    (f) Environmental Protection for Environmentally Sensitive Lands.--
All activities of Burlington, and its successors and assigns, relating 
to exploration and development on environmentally sensitive National 
Forest System lands, as described in the ``Memorandum of Understanding

Missouri National Grasslands. Federal grazing permits or privileges in 
areas designated on the map entitled ``Billings County, North Dakota, 
Consolidated Mineral Exchange--November 1995'' or those lands described

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The central and lower Mississippi Valley region 
        contained the highest population levels and the most complex 
        Native American societies north of Mexico before the arrival of 
        European peoples in the 16th century.
            (2) In addition, the Mississippi Valley has also hosted 
        Spanish, French, English, and ultimately American societies at 
        different times in the last 450 years.
            (3) Blytheville, Arkansas, is centrally located in the 
        Mississippi Valley region.
            (4) Former Eaker Air Force Base, which is located outside 
        of Blytheville, Arkansas, in the central Mississippi Valley 
        region, is the site of 14 archaeological sites associated with 
        Native Americans.
            (5) Because of its value in illustrating and interpreting 
        the heritage of the United States, the largest of these 
        archaeological sites, was recognized by the National Park 
        Service as a National Historic Landmark in 1996.
            (6) Another archaeological site outside of Blytheville, 
        Arkansas, the Chickasawba Mound, was placed on the National 
        Register of Historic Places in 1984 because of its historic and 
        archaeological resources.
            (7) These previous actions by the Department of the 
        Interior recognize that these archaeological sites are likely 
        to benefit, educate, and inspire present and future generations 
        of Americans, but no unified heritage park for the central 
        Mississippi Valley region exists within the National Park 
        Service.
            (8) Blytheville, Arkansas, also possesses many other 
        regionally and nationally significant natural, seismic, 
        cultural, and recreational resources associated with the 
        heritage of the central Mississippi Valley region.
            (9) The sites and resources associated with the heritage of 
        the central Mississippi Valley region require recognition 
        through the establishment of a national historical park for the 
        central Mississippi Valley region as a unit of the National 
        Park System.
            (10) As a result of the closing of Eaker Air Force Base in 
        Blytheville, Arkansas, pursuant to the Defense Base Closure and 
        Realignment Act of 1990, Federal land and facilities are 
        readily available for the establishment of a national 
        historical park for the central Mississippi Valley region to 
        protect the archaeological sites located on the former military 
        installation, as well as to preserve, maintain, and interpret 
        the natural, seismic, cultural, and recreational heritage of 
        the central Mississippi Valley region for the benefit, 
        education, and inspiration of present and future generations of 
        Americans.

SEC. 3. MISSISSIPPI VALLEY NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK, BLYTHEVILLE, 
              ARKANSAS.

    (a) Establishment.--In order to preserve for the benefit and 
inspiration of the people of the United States as a national historical 
park certain properties in Blytheville, Arkansas, and its vicinity 
associated with the archaeological, natural, seismic, cultural, and 
recreational heritage of the Mississippi Valley region, there is 
established as a unit of the National Park System the Mississippi 
Valley National Historical Park in the State of Arkansas.
    (b) Boundaries.--The historical park shall consist of approximately 
570 acres, including the real property transferred to the National Park

Chickasawba Mound and authorized for acquisition under section 5. The 
boundaries of the historical park shall also include all property 
authorized to be acquired for inclusion in the park by any law enacted 
after the date of the enactment of this Act.

SEC. 4. TRANSFER OF JURISDICTION, EAKER AIR FORCE BASE, FOR HISTORICAL 
              PARK.

    (a) Transfer of Archaeological Sites.--The Secretary of Defense 
shall transfer, without reimbursement, to the administrative 
jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Interior the parcels of real 
property (including improvements thereon) located at former Eaker Air

sites depicted on the map entitled ``Arkansas Aeroplex Archaeological 
Sites''.
    (b) Visitor and Administrative Sites.--
            (1) Transfer required.--To preserve the historical 
        character and landscape of the main features of the historical 
        park, the Secretary of Defense also shall transfer, without 
        reimbursement, to the administrative jurisdiction of the 
        Secretary of the Interior an additional parcel of real property 
        at former Eaker Air Force Base for the development of visitor, 
        administrative, museum, curatorial, and maintenance facilities 
        for the historical park.

SEC. 6. ADMINISTRATION OF HISTORICAL PARK.

    (a) Applicable Laws.--The Secretary of the Interior shall 
administer the historical park in accordance with this Act and the laws

        and individuals to provide for the preservation, development, 
        interpretation, and use of the historical park.
            (2) Conditions.--Any payment made by the Secretary pursuant 
        to such a cooperative agreement shall be subject to an 
        agreement that conversion, use, or disposal of the project 
        assisted under the cooperative agreement for purposes contrary 
        to the purposes of the historical park, as determined by the 
        Secretary, shall result in a right of the United States to 
        reimbursement of all funds made available to such project or

Authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to: (1) acquire for inclusion in the historical park, by donation or exchange, the archaeological site known as the Chickasawba Mound, which was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984; and (2) enter into cooperative agreements with interested entities and individuals to provide for the preservation, development, interpretation, and use of the park.

PROBLEM: SECTION 1. HATE CRIMES.

    (a) Declarations.--Congress declares that--
            (1) further efforts must be taken at all levels of 
        government to respond to the staggering brutality of hate 
        crimes that have riveted public attention and shocked the 
        Nation;
            (2) hate crimes are prompted by bias and are committed to 
        send a message of hate to targeted communities, usually defined 
        on the basis of immutable traits;
            (3) the prominent characteristic of a hate crime is that it 
        devastates not just the actual victim and the victim's family 
        and friends, but frequently savages the community sharing the 
        traits that caused the victim to be selected;
            (4) any efforts undertaken by the Federal Government to 
        combat hate crimes must respect the primacy that States and 
        local officials have traditionally been accorded in the 
        criminal prosecution of acts constituting hate crimes; and
            (5) an overly broad reaction by the Federal Government to 
        this serious problem might ultimately diminish the 
        accountability of State and local officials in responding to 
        hate crimes and transgress the constitutional limitations on 
        the powers vested in Congress under the Constitution.
    (b) Studies.--
            (1) Collection of data.--
                    (A) Definition of hate crime.--In this paragraph, 
                the term ``hate crime'' means--
                            (i) a crime described in subsection (b)(1) 
                        of the first section of the Hate Crime 
                        Statistics Act (28 U.S.C. 534 note); and
                            (ii) a crime that manifests evidence of 
                        prejudice based on gender or age.
                    (B) Collection from cross-section of states.--Not 
                later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this 
                Act, the Comptroller General of the United States, in 
                consultation with the National Governors' Association, 
                shall select 10 jurisdictions with laws classifying 
                certain types of crimes as hate crimes and 10 
                jurisdictions without such laws from which to collect 
                data described in subparagraph (C) over a 12-month 
                period.
                    (C) Data to be collected.--The data to be collected 
                are--
                            (i) the number of hate crimes that are 
                        reported and investigated;
                            (ii) the percentage of hate crimes that are 
                        prosecuted and the percentage that result in 
                        conviction;
                            (iii) the length of the sentences imposed 
                        for crimes classified as hate crimes within a 
                        jurisdiction, compared with the length of 
                        sentences imposed for similar crimes committed 
                        in jurisdictions with no hate crime laws; and
                            (iv) references to and descriptions of the 
                        laws under which the offenders were punished.
                    (D) Costs.--Participating jurisdictions shall be 
                reimbursed for the reasonable and necessary costs of 
                compiling data under this paragraph.
            (2) Study of trends.--
                    (A) In general.--Not later than 18 months after the 
                date of enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General 
                of the United States and the General Accounting Office 
                shall complete a study that analyzes the data collected 
                under paragraph (1) and under the Hate Crime Statistics 
                Act of 1990 to determine the extent of hate crime 
                activity throughout the country and the success of 
                State and local officials in combating that activity.
                    (B) Identification of trends.--In the study 
                conducted under subparagraph (A), the Comptroller 
                General of the United States and the General Accounting 
                Office shall identify any trends in the commission of 
                hate crimes specifically by--
                            (i) geographic region;
                            (ii) type of crime committed; and
                            (iii) the number of hate crimes that are 
                        prosecuted and the number for which convictions 
                        are obtained.
    (c) Model Statute.--
            (1) In general.--To encourage the identification and 
        prosecution of hate crimes throughout the country, the Attorney 
        General shall, through the National Conference of Commissioners 
        on Uniform State Laws of the American Law Institute or another 
        appropriate forum, and in consultation with the States, develop 
        a model statute to carry out the goals described in subsection 
        (a) and criminalize acts classified as hate crimes.
            (2) Requirements.--In developing the model statute, the 
        Attorney General shall--
                    (A) include in the model statute crimes that 
                manifest evidence of prejudice; and
                    (B) prepare an analysis of all reasons why any 
                crime motivated by prejudice based on any traits of a 
                victim should or should not be included.
    (d) Support for Criminal Investigations and Prosecutions by State

                    (A) In general.--At the request of a law

                criminal investigation or prosecution of any crime 
                that--
                            (i) constitutes a crime of violence (as 
                        defined in section 16 of title 18, United 
                        States Code);
                            (ii) constitutes a felony under the laws of 
                        the State; and
                            (iii) is motivated by prejudice based on 
                        the victim's race, ethnicity, or religion or is 
                        a violation of the State's hate crime law.
                    (B) Priority.--In providing assistance under 
                subparagraph (A), the Attorney General shall give

            (2) Grants.--
                    (A) In general.--There is established a grant

``249. Interstate travel to commit hate crime.''.

SOLUTION:
Specifies data to be collected (i.e., the number of hate crimes reported and investigated, percentage of hate crimes prosecuted and resulting in a conviction, the length of sentences imposed in comparison with that imposed for similar crimes committed in jurisdictions without hate crime laws, and references to and descriptions of laws under which the offenders were punished).
Requires the Comptroller General and GAO to identify any trends in the commission of hate crimes by geographic region, type of crime committed, and the number of hate crimes prosecuted and the number for which convictions are obtained.
Directs the Attorney General: (1) to develop a model statute to criminalize acts classified as hate crimes; and (2) in developing such statute, to include crimes that manifest evidence of prejudice and to prepare an analysis of all reasons why any crime motivated by prejudice based on any traits of a victim should or should not be included.
Directs the Attorney General: (1) at the request of a law enforcement official of a State or political subdivision thereof, to provide assistance in the criminal investigation or prosecution of any crime that constitutes a crime of violence or a felony under State law and that is motivated by prejudice based on the victim's race, ethnicity, or religion or that is a violation of the State's hate crime law; and (2) in providing such assistance, to give priority to crimes committed by offenders who have committed crimes in more than one State.
Establishes a grant program within the Department of Justice to assist State and local officials in the investigation and prosecution of hate crimes. Sets forth eligibility, reporting, and other requirements. Authorizes appropriations.
Prohibits and sets penalties (including the death penalty under specified circumstances) for: (1) traveling across a State line, or entering or leaving Indian country, in order to willfully injure, intimidate, or interfere with any person because of that person's race, color, religion, or national origin; and (2) by force or threat of force, willfully injuring, intimidating, or interfering with any person because of that person's race, color, religion, or national origin.
