104 STAT. 469 
(2) land management and Federal administration of Ad-

exchange, and the text of any proposed or executed agreements. 
"(D) Any lands on Admiralty Island acquired by the United States 
pursuant to this parsigraph shall be added to and incorporated

"(E) The inability of the Secretary and Kootznoowoo to reach

for the purposes of land exchanges or other matters. 
"(F) Enactment of this paragraph shall not create any right or 
cause of action by Kootznoowoo, Incorporated, or any other party 
against the United States.".

(a) Section 506(aX5) of the Alaska National Interest Lands Con-

ant to the Mining Law of 1872.

action by Kootznoowoo, Incorporated, or any other party against the 
United States.".

existing rights except those of Kootznoowoo, Incorporated: Pro-
vided, That the easement shall not be located on any lands

essary for present or projected Federal uses related to the 
administration of the Tongass National Forest: Provided fur-
ther. That the Secretary shall not exclude from the four and 
sixty-eight one-hundredths acre tract any lands occupied by 
existing power or utility lines or poles, and the lands so occu-
pied shall be subject to an easement to allow for their continued 
use, maintenance, and repair.

hundredths acre administrative site which are not included by the 
Secretary in the adjusted area provided by paragraph (bX2) shall be 
conveyed by the Secretary of Agriculture by quitclaim deed to 
Kootznoowoo, Incorporated.

condition precedent that Kootznoowoo, Incorporated, executes an 
appropriate written agreement acceptable to the United States 
Attorney for the District of Alaska to dismiss, with prejudice, the 
pending litigation entitled Kootznoowoo, Incorporated,

Numbered A84-575, in the United States District Court for the

porated, and the United States shall each bear their respective costs
