                               AMENDMENT:

        Strike out all after the resolving clause and insert:
That section 2 of the Act of June 8, 1926 (ch. 498; 44 Stat. 708), is 
amended by--
            (1) inserting ``(a)'' before ``The conveyance'';
            (2) striking ``States.'' at the end of the first sentence 
        and inserting in lieu thereof ``States, except that such 
        restrictions on conveyances and uses shall not apply to those 
        lands upon which communication facilities were located as of 
        January 1, 1993.''; and
            (3) adding at the end thereof the following new 
        subsections:
    ``(b) Reasonable use of an access route in existence on June 1, 
1994, across National Forest lands shall be allowed for the repair, 
maintenance, or improvement of the communication facilities referred to 
in subsection (a), but the Secretary of Agriculture shall not be 
required to improve the condition of any such access route or to 
provide any additional access route for such purposes.
    ``(c) Recreational activities on the lands identified in section 1, 
totaling approximately one thousand four hundred and forty acres, may 
be allowed so long as such recreational use is consistent both with the 
protection of the watershed and water supply system of the city and 
with the management objectives for adjacent National Forest System 
lands. Construction of structures or other improvements associated with 
such recreational activities shall be permitted only to the extent that 
the Secretary of Agriculture has determined that such construction 
would be consistent with protection of watershed and would not 
adversely affect the resources and values of adjacent National Forest 
System lands.''.
            Attest:






                                                                 Clerk.
