                                 An Act


 
 To authorize the acquisition of additional lands for inclusion in the 
  Fort Clatsop National Memorial in the State of Oregon, 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. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Fort Clatsop National Memorial 
Expansion Act of 2002''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
        (1) Fort Clatsop National Memorial is the only unit of the 
    National Park System solely dedicated to the Lewis and Clark 
    Expedition.
        (2) In 1805, the members of the Lewis and Clark Expedition 
    built Fort Clatsop at the mouth of the Columbia River near Astoria, 
    Oregon, and they spent 106 days at the fort waiting for the end of 
    winter and preparing for their journey home.
        (3) In 1958, Congress enacted Public Law 85-435 authorizing the 
    establishment of Fort Clatsop National Memorial for the purpose of 
    commemorating the culmination, and the winter encampment, of the 
    Lewis and Clark Expedition following its successful crossing of the 
    North American continent.
        (4) The 1995 General Management Plan for Fort Clatsop National 
    Memorial, prepared with input from the local community, recommends 
    the expansion of the memorial to include the trail used by 
    expedition members to access the Pacific Ocean from the fort and 
    the shore and forest lands surrounding the fort and trail to 
    protect their natural settings.
        (5) Expansion of Fort Clatsop National Memorial requires 
    Federal legislation because the size of the memorial is currently 
    limited by statute to 130 acres.
        (6) Congressional action to allow for the expansion of Fort 
    Clatsop National Memorial to include the trail to the Pacific Ocean 
    would be timely and appropriate before the start of the 
    bicentennial celebration of the Lewis and Clark Expedition planned 
    to take place during the years 2004 through 2006.

these sites for inclusion in the National Park System. The study shall 
be conducted in accordance with section 8 of Public Law 91-383 (16
