  To provide for disposal of public lands in support of the Manzanar 
   Historic Site in the State of California, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. TERMINATION OF WITHDRAWALS.

    (a) Unavailability of Certain Lands.--The Congress, by enacting the 
Act entitled ``An Act to establish the Manzanar National Historic Site 
in the State of California, and for other purposes'', approved March 3, 
1992 (106 Stat. 40; Public Law 102-248), (1) provided for the 
protection and interpretation of the historical, cultural, and natural 
resources associated with the relocation of Japanese-Americans during 
World War II and established the Manzanar National Historic Site in the 
State of California, and (2) authorized the Secretary of the Interior 
to acquire lands or interests therein within the boundary of the 
Historic Site by donation, purchase with donated or appropriated funds, 
or by exchange. The public lands identified for disposal in the Bureau 
of Land Management's Bishop Resource Area Resource Management Plan that 
could be made available for exchange in support of acquiring lands 
within the boundary of the Historic Site are currently unavailable for 
this purpose because they are withdrawn by an Act of Congress.
    (b) Termination of Withdrawal.--To provide a land base with which 
to allow land exchanges in support of acquiring lands within the 
boundary of the Manzanar National Historic Site, the withdrawal of the 
following described lands is terminated and such lands shall not be 
subject to the Act of March 4, 1931 (chap. 517; 46 Stat. 1530):
