SEC. 2. To implement this purpose the Secretary of the Interior may

Nez Perce culture, the Lewis and Clark Expedition through the area,

war of 1877, and such other sites as he finds will depict the role of the 
Nez Perce country in the westward expansion of the Nation.

five hundred acres in fee, and no more than one thousand five hundred 
acres in scenic easements. The Nez Perce Tribe's governing body, if

inclusion in the Nez Perce National Historical Park with the con-
currence of the agency having administrative responsibility therefor, 
but such designation shall effect no transfer of administrative control 
unless the administering agency consents thereto. Not more than one 
thousand and five hundred acres overall shall be designated pursuant 
to the foregoing provisions of this subsection. Tlie Secretary of the 
Interior may cooperate with the Nez Perce Tribe or the administer-
ing agency, as the case may be, in research into and interpretation of 
the significance of any site so designated and in providing desirable 
interpretive services and facilities and other facilities required for 
public access to and use and enjoyment of the site and in conservation 
of the scenic and other resources thereof. 
(b) The Secretary of the Interior may enter into cooperative agree-
ments with the owners of property which, under the provisions of this 
Act, may be designated for inclusion in Nez Perce National Historical 
Park as sites in non-Federal ownership, and he may assist in the pres-
ervation, renewal, and interpretation of the properties, provided the 
cooperative agreements shall contain, but not be limited to, provisions 
that: (1) the Secretary has right of access at all reasonable times to 
all public portions of the property for the purpose of conducting visi-
tors through the property and interpreting it to the public, and (2) no 
changes or alterations shall be made in the properties, including build-
ings and grounds, without the written consent of the Secretary.
