 To amend the Act of August 5, 1965, to authorize the Secretary of the 
Interior to acquire land for the purpose of exchange for privately-held 
 land for use as wildlife and wetland protection areas, in connection 
   with the Garrison Diversion Unit Project, 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. ACQUISITION OF LANDS FOR THE PURPOSE OF EXCHANGE.

    Section 8(b) of the Act of August 5, 1965 (Public Law 89-108; 79 
Stat. 443; 100 Stat. 423) is amended--
            (1) in the second sentence by inserting ``(including 
        acquisition through donation or exchange)'' after ``acquire''; 
        and
            (2) by inserting after the second sentence the following: 
        ``The Secretary is authorized to acquire private lands and 
        interests in land from willing sellers for the sole purpose of 
        exchanging the land and interests so acquired, as well as other 
        federally owned lands and interests in land, for non-Federal 
        lands and interests in land in the Kraft and Pickell Slough and 
        Lonetree areas. The lands and interests in land to be exchanged 
        are to be generally equal in value, as determined by the 
        Secretary. To the extent that the lands and interests in land 
        to be exchanged are not equal in value, the values may be 
        equalized by payment of money to the grantor or the Secretary, 
        as appropriate.''.
