United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``James Campbell National Wildlife 
Refuge Expansion Act of 2005''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
        (1) the United States Fish and Wildlife Service manages the 
    James Campbell National Wildlife Refuge for the purpose of 
    promoting the recovery of 4 species of endangered Hawaiian 
    waterbirds;
        (2) the United States Fish and Wildlife Service leases 
    approximately 240 acres of high-value wetland habitat (including 
    ponds, marshes, freshwater springs, and adjacent land) and manages 
    the habitat in accordance with the National Wildlife Refuge System 
    Improvement Act (16 U.S.C. 668dd note; Public Law 105-312);
        (3) the United States Fish and Wildlife Service entered into a 
    contract to purchase in fee title the land described in paragraph 
    (2) from the estate of James Campbell for the purposes of--
            (A) permanently protecting the endangered species habitat; 
        and
            (B) improving the management of the Refuge;
        (4) the United States Fish and Wildlife Service has identified 
    for inclusion in the Refuge approximately 800 acres of additional 
    high-value wildlife habitat adjacent to the Refuge that are owned 
    by the estate of James Campbell;
        (5) the land of the estate of James Campbell on the Kahuku 
    Coast features coastal dunes, coastal wetlands, and coastal strand 
    that promote biological diversity for threatened and endangered 
    species, including--
            (A) the 4 species of endangered Hawaiian waterbirds 
        described in paragraph (1);
            (B) migratory shorebirds;
            (C) waterfowl;
            (D) seabirds;
            (E) endangered and native plant species;
            (F) endangered monk seals; and
            (G) green sea turtles;
        (6) because of extensive coastal development, habitats of the 
    type within the Refuge are increasingly rare on the Hawaiian 
    islands;
        (7) expanding the Refuge will provide increased opportunities 
    for wildlife-dependent public uses, including wildlife observation, 
    photography, and environmental education and interpretation; and
        (8) acquisition of the land described in paragraph (4)--
            (A) will create a single, large, manageable, and 
        ecologically-intact unit that includes sufficient buffer land 
        to reduce impacts on the Refuge; and
            (B) is necessary to reduce flood damage following heavy 
        rainfall to residences, businesses, and public buildings in the 
        town of Kahuku.
