SEC. 117. EDWARDS AQUIFER.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
            (1) in order to avoid a water emergency in South Central 
        Texas, the withdrawal of water from the Edwards Aquifer 
        (designated as a sole source aquifer under title XIV of the 
        Public Health Service Act (commonly known as the ``Safe 
        Drinking Water Act'') (42 U.S.C. 300f et seq.)) should not be 
        limited without appropriate consideration of the impacts on 
        municipal, agricultural, industrial, and domestic water users;
            (2) section 10(a) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 
        U.S.C. 1539(a)) authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to 
        permit the taking of a threatened or endangered species 
        incidental to an otherwise lawful activity, which may include 
        the withdrawal of water from a sole source aquifer; and
            (3) the State of Texas is working, in cooperation with the 
        Department of the Interior and the Department of Justice, to 
        implement the water management plan for the Edwards Aquifer 
        region enacted by the State in 1993.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) the Secretary of the Interior should take whatever 
        steps are necessary and allowable under law to minimize adverse 
        impacts on users of the Edwards Aquifer while conserving 
        threatened and endangered species, including issuing a permit 
        pursuant to section 10(a) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 
        (16 U.S.C. 1539(a)); and
            (2) nothing in this section should relieve any person from 
        any State or local requirement for--
                    (A) water conservation or the development of 
                alternative water resources; or
                    (B) strategies necessary to reduce demand on the 
                Edwards Aquifer.

SEC. 314. WITHDRAWAL OF LANDS FROM TIMBER MANAGEMENT IN ALASKA.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate funds that--
            (1) The United States Forest Service has begun to implement 
        prescriptive wildlife management measures in the Tongass 
        National Forest that reduce land areas available for multiple 
        use under the Tongass Land Management Plan (TLMP), thereby 
        reducing timber harvest volumes in already prepared harvest 
        units.
            (2) The prescriptive measures termed ``habitat conservation 
        areas'' and ``goshawk protective perimeters'' are being used to 
        withdraw lands from timber management which have been evaluated 
        and approved for timber harvest pursuant to the TLMP, National 
        Environmental Policy Act, the Tongass Timber Reform Act, and 
        the National Forest Management Act.
            (3) Prescriptive management measures intended to protect 
        wildlife population viability should be accomplished through 
        amendments or revisions to the TLMP adopted in accordance with 
        the process described in the National Forest Management Act at 
        16 U.S.C. 1604 (d) and (g).
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that funds 
made available under this Act should not be used to implement 
management actions (including, but not limited to, prescriptions such 
as habitat conservation areas and goshawk protective perimeters) which 
withdrawn lands from timber management or planned timber harvest in the 
Tongass National Forest, unless such management actions are imposed 
pursuant to the public participation provisions of section 6(d) and 
other sections of the National Forest Management Act (16 U.S.C. 
1604(d)).

 (119)Page 85, after line 3, insert:
    Sec. 315. (a) In General.--(1) Not later than 30 days after the 
date of enactment of this Act, the Assistant Secretary for Indian 
Affairs of the Department of the Interior shall prepare and submit to 
Congress a report on measures necessary to address problems concerning 
the physical structure of Navajo Community College in Shiprock, New 
Mexico, consistent with the responsibilities for the facility.
    (2) Nothing in this section is intended to require a change in 
priority for funding projects by the Department.
    (b) Content of Report.--The report required under subsection (a) 
shall include a detailed list of the resources that are required to 
alleviate the health and safety hazards that have resulted from the 
poor condition of the structure described in such subsection.
