        National Historic Site in the State of California, and for 
        other purposes'', approved March 3, 1992 (Public Law 102-248; 
        106 Stat. 40)--
                    (A) 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
                    (B) authorized the Secretary of the Interior to 
                acquire lands and interests in land within the 
                boundaries of the Historic Site by donation, purchase 
                with donated or appropriated funds, or exchange; and
            (2) the public lands identified for disposal in the Bishop 
        Resource Area Resource Management Plan prepared by the Bureau 
        of Land Management that could be made available for exchange in 
        support of acquiring lands within the boundaries of the

provide a land base with which to allow land exchanges in support of 
acquiring lands within the boundaries of the Manzanar National Historic
