Input: Consider Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    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.
