                 TITLE V--WASHOE TRIBE LAND CONVEYANCE

SEC. 501. WASHOE TRIBE LAND CONVEYANCE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) the ancestral homeland of the Washoe Tribe of Nevada 
        and California (referred to in this section as the ``Tribe'') 
        included an area of approximately 5,000 square miles in and 
        around Lake Tahoe, California and Nevada, and Lake Tahoe was 
        the heart of the territory;
            (2) in 1997, Federal, State, and local governments, 
        together with many private landholders, recognized the Washoe 
        people as indigenous people of Lake Tahoe Basin through a 
        series of meetings convened by those governments at two 
        locations in Lake Tahoe;
            (3) the meetings were held to address protection of the 
        extraordinary natural, recreational, and ecological resources 
        in the Lake Tahoe region;
            (4) the resulting multiagency agreement includes objectives 
        that support the traditional and customary uses of Forest 
        Service land by the Tribe; and
            (5) those objectives include the provision of access by 
        members of the Tribe to the shore of Lake Tahoe in order to 
        reestablish traditional and customary cultural practices.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are--
            (1) to implement the joint local, State, tribal, and 
        Federal objective of returning the Tribe to Lake Tahoe; and
            (2) to ensure that members of the Tribe have the 
        opportunity to engage in traditional and customary cultural 
        practices on the shore of Lake Tahoe to meet the needs of 
        spiritual renewal, land stewardship, Washoe horticulture and 
        ethnobotany, subsistence gathering, traditional learning, and 
        reunification of tribal and family bonds.
    (c) Conveyance.--Subject to valid existing rights and subject to 
the easement reserved under subsection (d), the Secretary of 
Agriculture shall convey to the Secretary of the Interior, in trust for 
the Tribe, for no consideration, all right, title, and interest in the 
parcel of land comprising approximately 24.3 acres, located within the 
Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit north of Skunk Harbor, Nevada, and 
more particularly described as Mount Diablo Meridian, T15N, R18E, 
section 27, lot 3.
    (d) Easement.--
            (1) In general.--The conveyance under subsection (c) shall

            (5) the land is to be used for an established or proposed 
        project that is described in detail in the application to the 
        Secretary, and the conveyance would serve public objectives 
        (either locally or at large) that outweigh the objectives and 
        values which would be served by maintaining such land in 
        Federal ownership;
            (6) the applicant is financially and otherwise capable of

shall be for a nominal cost. The conveyance may not include the

          TITLE IX--GAYLORD NELSON APOSTLE ISLANDS STEWARDSHIP

SEC. 901. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Gaylord Nelson Apostle Islands 
Stewardship Act of 2000''.

SEC. 902. GAYLORD NELSON APOSTLE ISLANDS.

    (a) Declarations.--Congress declares that--
            (1) the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore is a national 
        and a Wisconsin treasure;
            (2) the State of Wisconsin is particularly indebted to 
        former Senator Gaylord Nelson for his leadership in the 
        creation of the Lakeshore;
            (3) after more than 28 years of enjoyment, some issues 
        critical to maintaining the overall ecological, recreational, 
        and cultural vision of the Lakeshore need additional attention;
            (4) the general management planning process for the 
        Lakeshore has identified a need for a formal wilderness study;
            (5) all land within the Lakeshore that might be suitable 
        for designation as wilderness are zoned and managed to protect 
        wilderness characteristics pending completion of such a study;
            (6) several historic lighthouses within the Lakeshore are 
        in danger of structural damage due to severe erosion;
            (7) the Secretary of the Interior has been unable to take 
        full advantage of cooperative agreements with Federal, State, 
        local, and tribal governmental agencies, institutions of higher 
        education, and other nonprofit organizations that could assist 
        the National Park Service by contributing to the management of 
        the Lakeshore;
            (8) because of competing needs in other units of the 
        National Park System, the standard authorizing and budgetary 
        process has not resulted in updated legislative authority and 
        necessary funding for improvements to the Lakeshore; and
            (9) the need for improvements to the Lakeshore and 
        completion of a wilderness study should be accorded a high 
        priority among National Park Service activities.
    (b) Definitions.--In this section:
            (1) Lakeshore.--The term ``Lakeshore'' means the Apostle 
        Islands National Lakeshore.
            (2) Secretary.--The term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary 
        of the Interior, acting through the Director of the National

applicable agency policy, the Secretary shall evaluate areas of land 
within the Lakeshore for inclusion in the National Wilderness System.
    (d) Apostle Islands Lighthouses.--The Secretary shall undertake 
appropriate action (including protection of the bluff toe beneath the 
lighthouses, stabilization of the bank face, and dewatering of the area 
immediately shoreward of the bluffs) to protect the lighthouse 
structures at Raspberry Lighthouse and Outer Island Lighthouse on the 
Lakeshore.
    (e) Cooperative Agreements.--Section 6 of Public Law 91-424 (16 
U.S.C. 460w-5) is amended--
            (1) by striking ``Sec. 6. The lakeshore'' and inserting the 
        following:

``SEC. 6. MANAGEMENT.

    ``(a) In General.--The lakeshore''; and
            (2) by adding at the end the following:
    ``(b) Cooperative Agreements.--The Secretary may enter into a

government agency or a nonprofit private entity if the Secretary 
determines that a cooperative agreement would be beneficial in carrying 
out section 7.''.
    (f) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are authorized to be 
appropriated--
            (1) $200,000 to carry out subsection (c); and

                TITLE X--PEOPLING OF AMERICA THEME STUDY

SEC. 1001. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Peopling of America Theme Study 
Act''.

SEC. 1002. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) an important facet of the history of the United States 
        is the story of how the United States was populated;
            (2) the migration, immigration, and settlement of the 
        population of the United States--
                    (A) is broadly termed the ``peopling of America''; 
                and
                    (B) is characterized by--
                            (i) the movement of groups of people across 
                        external and internal boundaries of the United 
                        States and territories of the United States; 
                        and
                            (ii) the interactions of those groups with 
                        each other and with other populations;
            (3) each of those groups has made unique, important 
        contributions to American history, culture, art, and life;
            (4) the spiritual, intellectual, cultural, political, and 
        economic vitality of the United States is a result of the 
        pluralism and diversity of the American population;
            (5) the success of the United States in embracing and 
        accommodating diversity has strengthened the national fabric 
        and unified the United States in its values, institutions, 
        experiences, goals, and accomplishments;
            (6)(A) the National Park Service's official thematic 
        framework, revised in 1996, responds to the requirement of 
        section 1209 of the Civil War Sites Study Act of 1990 (16 
        U.S.C. 1a-5 note; Public Law 101-628), that ``the Secretary 
        shall ensure that the full diversity of American history and 
        prehistory are represented'' in the identification and 
        interpretation of historic properties by the National Park 
        Service; and
            (B) the thematic framework recognizes that ``people are the 
        primary agents of change'' and establishes the theme of human 
        population movement and change--or ``peopling places''--as a 
        primary thematic category for interpretation and preservation; 
        and
            (7) although there are approximately 70,000 listings on the 
        National Register of Historic Places, sites associated with the 
        exploration and settlement of the United States by a broad 
        range of cultures are not well represented.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are--
            (1) to foster a much-needed understanding of the diversity 
        and contribution of the breadth of groups who have peopled the 
        United States; and
            (2) to strengthen the ability of the National Park Service 
        to include groups and events otherwise not recognized in the 
        peopling of the United States.

            (1) Saint Croix Island is located in the Saint Croix River, 
        a river that is the boundary between the State of Maine and 
        Canada;
            (2) the Island is the only international historic site in 
        the National Park System;
            (3) in 1604, French nobleman Pierre Dugua Sieur de Mons, 
        accompanied by a courageous group of adventurers that included 
        Samuel Champlain, landed on the Island and began the 
        construction of a settlement;
            (4) the French settlement on the Island in 1604 and 1605 
        was the initial site of the first permanent settlement in the 
        New World, predating the English settlement of 1607 at 
        Jamestown, Virginia;
            (5) many people view the expedition that settled on the 
        Island in 1604 as the beginning of the Acadian culture in North 
        America;
            (6) in October, 1998, the National Park Service completed a 
        general management plan to manage and interpret the Saint Croix 
        Island International Historic Site;
            (7) the plan addresses a variety of management 
        alternatives, and concludes that the best management strategy 
        entails developing an interpretive trail and ranger station at 
        Red Beach, Maine, and a regional heritage center in downtown 
        Calais, Maine, in cooperation with Federal, State, and local 
        agencies;
            (8) a 1982 memorandum of understanding, signed by the 
        Department of the Interior and the Canadian Department for the 
        Environment, outlines a cooperative program to commemorate the 
        international heritage of the Saint Croix Island site and 
        specifically to prepare for the 400th anniversary of the 
        settlement in 2004; and
            (9) only 4 years remain before the 400th anniversary of the 
        settlement at Saint Croix Island, an occasion that should be 
        appropriately commemorated.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this title is to direct the Secretary 
of the Interior to take all necessary and appropriate steps to work 
with Federal, State, and local agencies, historical societies, and 
nonprofit organizations to facilitate the development of a regional

   TITLE XV--HOOSIER AUTOMOBILE & TRUCK NATIONAL HERITAGE TRAIL AREA

SEC. 1501. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Hoosier Automobile & Truck 
National Heritage Trail Area Act of 2000''.

SEC. 1502. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
            (1) The industrial, cultural, and natural heritage legacies 
        of Indiana's automobile and truck industry are nationally 
        significant.
            (2) The design and manufacture of the automobile and truck 
        within the State of Indiana helped establish and expand the 
        United States industrial power.
            (3) The industrial strength of automobile and truck 
        manufacturing was vital to defending freedom and democracy in 
        two world wars and played a defining role in American 
        victories.
            (4) The economic strength of our Nation is connected 
        integrally to the vitality of the automobile and truck 
        industry, which employs millions of workers and upon which one 
        out of seven United States jobs depends.
            (5) The industrial and cultural heritage of the automobile 
        and truck industry in Indiana includes the social history and 
        living cultural traditions of several generations.
            (6) The United Auto Workers and other unions played a 
        significant role in the history and progress of the labor 
        movement and the automobile and truck industry.
            (7) The Department of the Interior is responsible for 
        protecting and interpreting the Nation's cultural and historic 
        resources, and there are significant examples of these 
        resources within Indiana to merit the involvement of the 
        Federal Government to develop programs and projects in 
        cooperation with the Hoosier Automobile & Truck National 
        Heritage Trail Area Partnership, Inc., (an Indiana not-for-
        profit corporation), the State of Indiana, and other local and 
        governmental bodies, to adequately conserve, protect, and 
        interpret this heritage for the educational and recreational 
        benefit of this and future generations of Americans.
            (8) The Hoosier Automobile & Truck National Heritage Trail 
        Area Partnership, Inc., would be an appropriate entity to 
        oversee the development of the Hoosier Automobile & Truck 
        National Heritage Trail Area.
            (9) Multiple museums of regional, national, and 
        international stature are located within the Hoosier Automobile 
        & Truck National Heritage Trail Area as follows:
                    (A) Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum at Auburn,

                Indianapolis, Indiana.
            (10) Auburn, Indiana, because it is located on Interstate 
        Highway 69, is the home of the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum, 
        the National Automotive and Truck Museum of the United States, 
        and the Kruse Auction Park, designates itself as the 
        ``Collector Car Capital of the World'', and is adjacent to the 
        Michigan Automobile National Heritage Area, is the appropriate 
        focal point for the Hoosier Automobile & Truck National 
        Heritage Trail Area.
            (11) The natural, cultural, historic, and scenic resources 
        of the Hoosier Automobile & Truck National Heritage Trail Area 
        have combined to form a cohesive, nationally distinctive 
        landscape arising from patterns of human activity, shaped by 
        geography which has resulted in the Hoosier National Automobile 
        & Truck National Trail Area being representative of the 
        national experience through the physical features that remain, 
        the traditions which have evolved within them, and the 
        continued use of the Hoosier National Automobile & Truck 
        National Trail Area by people whose traditions and activities 
        have helped to shape such landscape.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this title is to establish the Hoosier

        economic opportunities; and
            (2) conserve, interpret, and develop the historical,
