SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Taliesin Preservation Act of 1994''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) ``Taliesin'', the nationally significant 600-acre site 
        located in the State of Wisconsin, together with its structures 
        and improvements, was the home and studio of the exceptionally 
        gifted and outstanding artist, architect Frank Lloyd Wright, 
        from 1911 until 1959, and was designated as a National Historic 
        Landmark in 1976; and
            (2) Taliesin is the preeminent single site in the Nation 
        for interpreting the life, work, and ideas of Wright, and can 
        best be protected and interpreted through designation as an 
        affiliated area of the National Park System, while remaining 
        under private ownership and management.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to provide for the 
preservation and interpretation of the Taliesin site by the Secretary 
of the Interior (hereinafter referred to as the ``Secretary''), for the 
benefit of present and future generations.

SEC. 3. COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS AND PLAN.

    (a) Cooperative Agreements.--(1) In furtherance of this Act, the 
Secretary is authorized to enter into cooperative agreements with the 
owner or operator of the Taliesin site, pursuant to which agreements 
the Secretary may mark, interpret, restore, and provide technical 
assistance for the preservation of the site, in accordance with the 
comprehensive plan described in subsection (b).
    (2) Each cooperative agreement shall provide that the Secretary 
shall have the right of access at reasonable times to all public 
portions of the property covered by the agreement, for the purpose of 
conducting visitors through such properties and interpreting them to 
the public.
    (3) Such cooperative agreements shall provide that no changes or 
alterations shall be made in the property covered by the agreement 
except by mutual agreement between the Secretary and the other party to 
the agreement.
    (b) Comprehensive Plan.--(1) As a condition of entering into 
cooperative agreements and receiving financial assistance under this 
Act, the owner or operator shall prepare and adopt a comprehensive plan 
for the continued preservation and public use of the Taliesin site and 
submit such plan to the Secretary for approval.
    (2) The plan may be amended or revised from time to time, but no 
assistance, financial or otherwise, in conjunction with this Act, may 
be made available by the Secretary pursuant to any cooperative 
agreement unless the amendment or revision is approved by the 
Secretary.

SEC. 4. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.

    There are authorized to be appropriated not more than $8,000,000 to 
carry out the purpose of this Act: Provided, That with respect to the 
cooperative agreements authorized in subsection 3(a), the Secretary may 
not provide more than one-third of the aggregate cost of implementing 
those agreements. The remainder of the cost shall be borne by State and 
private entities.
