To amend the Act providing for the establishment of the Tuskegee Institute

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America 
in Congress assembled, That section 
101(aX5) of the Act entitled "An Act to provide for the establishment 
of the Clara Barton National Historic Site, Maryland; John Day 
Fossil Beds National Monument, Oregon; Knife River Indian Vil-
lages National Historic Site, North Dakota; Springfield Armory 
National Historic Site, Massachusetts; Tuskegee Institute National

proved October 26, 1974 (88 Stat. 1461), is amended by striking out 
"(5)" and inserting in lieu thereof "(5XA)" and by changing the 
semicolon to a period, deleting the word "and" thereafter, and 
inserting the following new subparagraph: 
"(B) If, following the acquisition of Grey Columns, the Sec-
retary determines that it would be in the public interest and in 
furtherance of efficient administration of the national historic 
site to do so, the Secretary may convey Grey Columns to 
Tuskegee University and in exchange therefor he may accept 
from the University properties which the Secretary deems nec-
essary for administrative, parking, and maintenance facilities 
for the national historic site. As to the property between the 
Carver Museum and the Oaks, the Secretary may accept an 
easement from the University which shall limit development 
for the purpose of maintaining the view between the Carver 
Museum and the Oaks and provide for construction and mainte-
nance by the Secretary of a public walkway from Campus 
Avenue to Montgomery Road. The conveyance of Grey Columns 
shall be made upon the express condition that the grantee shall 
maintain its historic integrity in accordance with the Sec-
retary's standards on historic preservation and make the prop-
erty available for public use subject to its primary purpose as 
the residence of the University's president. The exchange 
herein authorized shall be accomplished without monetary 
consideration to or from either party. Following such exchange, 
the Secretary shall cause to be published in the Federal Reg-
ister a revised boundary map or other boundary description of 
the national historic site.". 
Approved June 17, 1988.
