       TITLE I--CHEYENNE RIVER SIOUX TRIBE EQUITABLE COMPENSATION

SEC. 101. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe 
Equitable Compensation Act''.

SEC. 102. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
        (1) by enacting the Act of December 22, 1944 (58 Stat. 887, 
    chapter 665; 33 U.S.C. 701-1 et seq.), commonly known as the 
    ``Flood Control Act of 1944'', Congress approved the Pick-Sloan 
    Missouri River Basin program (referred to in this section as the 
    ``Pick-Sloan program'')--
            (A) to promote the general economic development of the 
        United States;
            (B) to provide for irrigation above Sioux City, Iowa;
            (C) to protect urban and rural areas from devastating 
        floods of the Missouri River; and
            (D) for other purposes;
        (2) the Oahe Dam and Reservoir project--
            (A) is a major component of the Pick-Sloan program, and 
        contributes to the economy of the United States by generating a 
        substantial amount of hydropower and impounding a substantial 
        quantity of water;
            (B) overlies the eastern boundary of the Cheyenne River 
        Sioux Indian Reservation; and
            (C) has not only contributed little to the economy of the 
        Tribe, but has severely damaged the economy of the Tribe and 
        members of the Tribe by inundating the fertile, wooded bottom 
        lands of the Tribe along the Missouri River that constituted 
        the most productive agricultural and pastoral lands of the 
        Tribe and the homeland of the members of the Tribe;
        (3) the Secretary of the Interior appointed a Joint Tribal 
    Advisory Committee that examined the Oahe Dam and Reservoir project 
    and concluded that--
            (A) the Federal Government did not justify, or fairly 
        compensate the Tribe for, the Oahe Dam and Reservoir project 
        when the Federal Government acquired 104,492 acres of land of 
        the Tribe for that project; and
            (B) the Tribe should be adequately compensated for the land 
        acquisition described in subparagraph (A);
        (4) after applying the same method of analysis as is used for 
    the compensation of similarly situated Indian tribes, the 
    Comptroller General of the United States (referred to in this title 
    as the ``Comptroller General'') determined that the appropriate 
    amount of compensation to pay the Tribe for the land acquisition 
    described in paragraph (3)(A) would be $290,723,000;
        (5) the Tribe is entitled to receive additional financial 
    compensation for the land acquisition described in paragraph (3)(A) 
    in a manner consistent with the determination of the Comptroller 
    General described in paragraph (4); and
        (6) the establishment of a trust fund to make amounts available 
    to the Tribe under this title is consistent with the principles of 
    self-governance and self-determination.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are as follows:
        (1) To provide for additional financial compensation to the 
    Tribe for the acquisition by the Federal Government of 104,492 
    acres of land of the Tribe for the Oahe Dam and Reservoir project 
    in a manner consistent with the determinations of the Comptroller 
    General described in subsection (a)(4).
        (2) To provide for the establishment of the Cheyenne River 
    Sioux Tribal Recovery Trust Fund, to be managed by the Secretary of 
    the Treasury in order to make payments to the Tribe to carry out 
    projects under a plan prepared by the Tribe.

    Redondo;
        (3) the Navajo and Mescalero Apache people labored to plant

SEC. 301. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
        (1) There are many thousands of public memorials scattered 
    throughout the United States and abroad that commemorate military 
    conflicts of the United States and the service of individuals in 
    the Armed Forces.
        (2) These memorials have never been comprehensively cataloged.
        (3) Many of these memorials suffer from neglect and disrepair, 
    and many have been relocated or stored in facilities where they are 
    unavailable to the public and subject to further neglect and 
    damage.
        (4) There exists a need to collect and centralize information 
    regarding the location, status, and description of these memorials.
        (5) The Federal Government maintains information on memorials 
    only if they are federally funded.
        (6) Remembering Veterans Who Earned Their Stripes (a nonprofit

        (1) the people of the United States owe a debt of gratitude to 
    veterans for their sacrifices in defending the Nation during times 
    of war and peace;
        (2) public memorials that commemorate military conflicts of the 
    United States and the service of individuals in the Armed Forces 
    should be maintained in good condition, so that future generations 
    may know of the burdens borne by these individuals;
        (3) Federal, State, and local agencies responsible for the 
    construction and maintenance of these memorials should cooperate in 
    cataloging these memorials and providing the resulting information 
    to the Department of the Interior; and
        (4) the Secretary of the Interior, acting through the Director 
    of the National Park Service, should--
            (A) collect and maintain information on public memorials 
        that commemorate military conflicts of the United States and 
        the service of individuals in the Armed Forces;
            (B) coordinate efforts at collecting and maintaining this 
        information with similar efforts by other entities, such as 
        Remembering Veterans Who Earned Their Stripes (a nonprofit 
        corporation established as RVETS, Inc. under the laws of the 
        State of Nevada); and
            (C) make this information available to the public.

        (2) The total acreage identified in 1936 for consideration for 
    inclusion in the battlefield park consisted of approximately 
    225,000 acres in and around the City of Richmond. A study 
    undertaken by the congressionally authorized Civil War Sites 
    Advisory Committee determined that of these 225,000 acres, the 
    historically significant areas relating to the campaigns against 
    and in defense of Richmond encompass approximately 38,000 acres.
        (3) In a 1996 general management plan, the National Park 
    Service identified approximately 7,121 acres in and around the City 
    of Richmond that satisfy the National Park Service criteria of 
    significance, integrity, feasibility, and suitability for inclusion 
    in the battlefield park. The National Park Service later identified 
    an additional 186 acres for inclusion in the battlefield park.
        (4) There is a national interest in protecting and preserving 
    sites of historical significance associated with the Civil War and 
    the City of Richmond.
        (5) The Commonwealth of Virginia and its local units of 
    government have authority to prevent or minimize adverse uses of 
    these historic resources and can play a significant role in the 
    protection of the historic resources related to the campaigns 
    against and in defense of Richmond.
        (6) The preservation of the New Market Heights Battlefield in 
    the vicinity of the City of Richmond is an important aspect of 
    American history that can be interpreted to the public. The Battle 
    of New Market Heights represents a premier landmark in black 
    military history as 14 black Union soldiers were awarded the Medal 
    of Honor in recognition of their valor during the battle. According 
    to National Park Service historians, the sacrifices of the United 
    States Colored Troops in this battle helped to ensure the passage 
    of the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution to 
    abolish slavery.
    (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this title--
        (1) to revise the boundaries for the Richmond National 
    Battlefield Park based on the findings of the Civil War Sites 
    Advisory Committee and the National Park Service; and
        (2) to direct the Secretary of the Interior to work in 
    cooperation with the Commonwealth of Virginia, the City of 
    Richmond, other political subdivisions of the Commonwealth, other 
    public entities, and the private sector in the management, 
    protection, and interpretation of the resources associated with the 
    Civil War and the Civil War battles in and around the City of 
    Richmond, Virginia.

established.
    (d) Technical Assistance.--The Secretary may provide technical 
assistance to the Commonwealth of Virginia, its political subdivisions, 
nonprofit entities, and private property owners for the development of 
comprehensive plans, land use guidelines, special studies, and other 
activities that are consistent with the identification, protection,
