    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the

SECTION 1. GRAND RONDE RESERVATION ACT AMENDMENTS.

    Section 1(d) of Public Law 100-425 (commonly known as the ``Grand

            (1) in paragraph (1), by striking ``lands within the State 
        of Oregon'' and inserting ``the 84 acres known as the Thompson 
        Strip'';
            (2) by redesignating paragraph (2) as paragraph (3); and
            (3) by inserting after paragraph (1) the following:
            ``(2) Gaming prohibition.--Any real property obtained by 
        the Tribes as part of a land claim settlement approved by the 
        United States, including any real property purchased with funds 
        granted as part of any land claim settlement, shall not be 
        eligible, or used, for any class II gaming or class III gaming 
        under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (25 U.S.C. 2701 et seq.) 
        (as those terms are defined in section 4 of that Act (25 U.S.C. 
        2703)).''.
