    Sec. 134. (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings--
            (1) in 1990, pursuant to the Indian Self-Determination and 
        Education Assistance Act (ISDEAA), 25 U.S.C. 450 et seq., a 
        class action lawsuit was filed by Indian tribal contractors and 
        tribal consortia against the United States, the Secretary of 
        the Interior and others seeking money damages, injunctive 
        relief, and declaratory relief for alleged violations of the 
        ISDEAA (Ramah Navajo Chapter v. Lujan, 112 F.3d 1455 (10th Cir. 
        1997));
            (2) the parties negotiated a partial settlement of the 
        claim totaling $76,200,000, plus applicable interest, which was 
        approved by the court on May 14, 1999;
            (3) the partial settlement was paid by the United States in 
        September 1999, in the amount of $82,000,000;
            (4) the Judgment Fund was established to pay for legal 
        judgments awarded to plaintiffs who have filed suit against the 
        United States;
            (5) the Contract Disputes Act of 1978 requires that the 
        Judgment Fund be reimbursed by the responsible agency following 
        the payment of an award from the Fund; and
            (6) the shortfall in contract support payments found by the 
        Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit in Ramah resulted 
        primarily from the non-payment or underpayment of indirect 
        costs by agencies other than the Bureau of Indian Affairs and 
        the Indian Health Service.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) repayment of the Judgment Fund for the partial 
        settlement in Ramah from the accounts of the Bureau of Indian 
        Affairs and Indian Health Service would significantly reduce 
        funds appropriated to benefit tribes and individual Native 
        Americans; and
            (2) the Secretary of the Interior should work with the 
        Director of the Office of Management and Budget to secure 
        funding for repayment of the judgment in Ramah within the 
        budgets of the agencies that did not pay indirect costs to 
        plaintiffs during the period 1988 to 1993 or paid indirect 
        costs at less than rates provided under the Indian Self-
        Determination Act during such period.

conditions, which may include the repair or reconstruction of roads, 
bridges, and trails on National Forest System lands in the wildland-
community interface where there is an abnormally high risk of fire. The

    Sec. 328. No timber sale in Region 10 shall be advertised if the 
indicated rate is deficit when appraised under the transaction evidence 
appraisal system using domestic Alaska values for western red cedar: 
Provided, That sales which are deficit when appraised under the 
transaction evidence appraisal system using domestic Alaska values for 
western red cedar may be advertised upon receipt of a written request 
by a prospective, informed bidder, who has the opportunity to review 
the Forest Service's cruise and harvest cost estimate for that timber. 
Program accomplishments shall be based on volume sold. Should Region 10 
sell, in fiscal year 2001, the annual average portion of the decadal 
allowable sale quantity called for in the current Tongass Land 
Management Plan in sales which are not deficit when appraised under the 
transaction evidence appraisal system using domestic Alaska values for 
western red cedar, all of the western red cedar timber from those sales 
which is surplus to the needs of domestic processors in Alaska, shall 
be made available to domestic processors in the contiguous 48 United 
States at prevailing domestic prices. Should Region 10 sell, in fiscal 
year 2001, less than the annual average portion of the decadal 
allowable sale quantity called for in the current Tongass Land 
Management Plan in sales which are not deficit when appraised under the 
transaction evidence appraisal system using domestic Alaska values for 
western red cedar, the volume of western red cedar timber available to 
domestic processors at prevailing domestic prices in the contiguous 48 
United States shall be that volume: (i) which is surplus to the needs 
of domestic processors in Alaska; and (ii) is that percent of the 
surplus western red cedar volume determined by calculating the ratio of 
the total timber volume which has been sold on the Tongass to the 
annual average portion of the decadal allowable sale quantity called 
for in the current Tongass Land Management Plan. The percentage shall 
be calculated by Region 10 on a rolling basis as each sale is sold (for 
purposes of this amendment, a ``rolling basis'' shall mean that the 
determination of how much western red cedar is eligible for sale to 
various markets shall be made at the time each sale is awarded). 
Western red cedar shall be deemed ``surplus to the needs of domestic 
processors in Alaska'' when the timber sale holder has presented to the 
Forest Service documentation of the inability to sell western red cedar 
logs from a given sale to domestic Alaska processors at price equal to 
or greater than the log selling value stated in the contract. All 
additional western red cedar volume not sold to Alaska or contiguous 48 
United States domestic processors may be exported to foreign markets at 
the election of the timber sale holder. All Alaska yellow cedar may be 
sold at prevailing export prices at the election of the timber sale 
holder.
    Sec. 329. None of the funds appropriated by this Act shall be used 
to propose or issue rules, regulations, decrees, or orders for the

at the Third Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework 
Convention on Climate Change, which has not been submitted to the

year 2001 such concession prospectuses under the regulatory exemption, 
except that, any prospectus that does not meet the requirements of the 
regulatory exemption shall be offered as a service contract in 
accordance with the requirements of 41 U.S.C. 351-358.
    Sec. 331. A project undertaken by the Forest Service under the 
Recreation Fee Demonstration Program as authorized by section 315 of 
the Department of the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act 
for Fiscal Year 1996, as amended, shall not result in--
            (1) displacement of the holder of an authorization to 
        provide commercial recreation services on Federal lands. Prior 
        to initiating any project, the Secretary shall consult with 
        potentially affected holders to determine what impacts the 
        project may have on the holders. Any modifications to the 
        authorization shall be made within the terms and conditions of 
        the authorization and authorities of the impacted agency.
            (2) the return of a commercial recreation service to the 
        Secretary for operation when such services have been provided 
        in the past by a private sector provider, except when--
                    (A) the private sector provider fails to bid on 
                such opportunities;
                    (B) the private sector provider terminates its 
                relationship with the agency; or
                    (C) the agency revokes the permit for non-
                compliance with the terms and conditions of the 
                authorization.
In such cases, the agency may use the Recreation Fee Demonstration 
Program to provide for operations until a subsequent operator can be 
found through the offering of a new prospectus.
