     SEC. 2904. AGENCY AGREEMENT

       The Bureau of Land Management and the Air Force have agreed 
     upon additional mitigation measures associated with this land 
     withdrawal as specified in the ``ENHANCED TRAINING IN IDAHO 
     Memorandum of Understanding Between The Bureau of Land 
     Management and The United States Air Force'' that is dated 
     June ----, 1998. This agreement specifies that these 
     mitigation measures will be adopted as part of the Air 
     Force's Record of Decision for Enhanced Training in Idaho. 
     Congress endorses this collaborative effort between the 
     agencies and directs that the agreement be implemented; 
     provided, however, that the parties may, in accordance with 
     the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended, 
     mutually agree to modify the mitigation measures specified in 
     the agreement in light of experience gained through the 
     actions called for in the agreement or as a result of changed 
     military circumstances; provided further, that neither the 
     agreement, any modification thereof, nor this section creates 
     any right, benefit, or trust responsibility, substantive or 
     procedural, enforceable at law or equity by a party against 
     the United States, its agencies, its officers, or any person.

     SEC. 2905. RIGHT-OF-WAY GRANTS.

       In addition to the withdrawal under section 2902 and in 
     accordance with all applicable laws, the Secretary of the 
     Interior shall process and grant the Secretary of the Air 
     Force rights-of-way using the Department of the Interior 
     regulations and policies in effect at the time of filing 
     applications for the one-quarter acre electronic warfare 
     threat emitter sites, roads, powerlines, and other ancillary 
     facilities as described and analyzed in the Enhanced Training 
     in Idaho Final Environmental Impact Statement, dated January 
     1998.

     SEC. 2906. INDIAN SACRED SITES.

       (a) Management.--In the management of the Federal lands 
     withdrawn and reserved by

[[Page S6892]]

     this title, the Air Force shall, to the extent practicable 
     and not clearly inconsistent with essential agency functions, 
     (1) accommodate access to and ceremonial use of Indian sacred 
     sites by Indian religious practitioners and (2) avoid 
     adversely affecting the integrity of such sacred sites. The 
     Air Force shall maintain the confidentiality of such sites 
     where appropriate. The term ``sacred site'' shall mean any 
     specific, discrete, narrowly delineated location on Federal 
     land that is identified by an Indian tribe, or Indian 
     individual determined to be an appropriately authoritative 
     representative of an Indian religion, as sacred by virtue of 
     its established religious significance to, or ceremonial use 
     by, an Indian religion; provided that the tribe or 
     appropriately authoritative representative of an Indian 
     religion has informed the Air Force of the existence of such 
     a site. The term ``Indian tribe'' means an Indian or Alaska 
     Native tribe, band, nation, pueblo, village, or community 
     that the Secretary of the Interior acknowledges to exist as 
     an Indian tribe pursuant to Public Law No. 103-454, 108 Stat. 
     4791, and ``Indian'' refers to a member of such an Indian 
     tribe.
       (b) Consultation.--Air Force officials at Mountain Home Air 
     Force Base shall regularly consult with the Tribal Chairman 
     of the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of the Duck Valley Reservation 
     to assure that tribal government rights and concerns are 
     fully considered during the development of the Juniper Butte 
     Range.

     SEC. 2907. ACTIONS CONCERNING RANCHING OPERATIONS IN 
                   WITHDRAWN AREA.

       The Secretary of the Air Force is authorized and directed 
     to, upon such terms and conditions as the Secretary of the 
     Air Force considers just and in the national interest, 
     conclude and implement agreements with the grazing permittees 
     to provide appropriate consideration, including future 
     grazing arrangements. Upon the conclusion of these 
     agreements, the Assistant Secretary, Land and Minerals 
     Management, shall grant rights-of-way and approvals and take 
     such actions as are necessary to implement promptly this 
     title and the agreements with the grazing permittees. The 
     Secretary of the Air Force and the Secretary of the Interior 
     shall allow the grazing permittees for lands withdrawn and 
     reserved by this title to continue their activities on the 
     lands in accordance with the permits and their applicable 
     regulations until the Secretary of the Air Force has fully 
     implemented the agreement with the grazing permittees under 
     this section. Upon the implementation of these agreements, 
     the Bureau of Land Management is authorized and directed, 
     subject to the limitations included in this section, to 
     terminate grazing on the lands withdrawn.

       (c) Authority To Close Land.--If the Secretary of the Air 
     Force determines that military operations, public safety, or 
     the interests of national security require the closure to 
     public use of any road, trail or other portion of the lands 
     withdrawn by this title that are commonly in public use, the 
     Secretary of the Air Force may take such action; Provided, 
     that such closures shall be limited to the minimum areas and 
     periods required for the purposes specified in this

       (3)(A) The memorandum of understanding under section 2910 
     shall provide for the Bureau of Land Management to assist the 
     Secretary of the Air Force in the suppression of the fires 
     described in paragraph (1).
       (B) The memorandum of understanding shall provide that the 
     Secretary of the Air Force reimburse the Bureau of Land 
     Management for any costs incurred by the Bureau of Land 
     Management under this paragraph.
       (f) Use of Mineral Materials.--Notwithstanding any other 
     provision of this title or the Act of July 31, 1947 (commonly 
     known as the ``Materials Act of 1947'') (30 U.S.C. 601 et 
     seq.), the Secretary of the Air Force may use, from the lands 
     withdrawn and reserved by this title, sand, gravel, or

     the following:

     SEC.  RUSSIAN NON-STRATEGIC NUCLEAR WEAPONS

       (a) Sense of the Senate.--It is the Sense of the Senate 
     that
       (1) the 7,000 to 12,000 or more non-strategic (or 
     ``tactical'') nuclear weapons estimated by the United States 
     Strategic Command to be in the Russian arsenal may present 
     the greatest threat of sale or theft of a nuclear warhead in 
     the world today;
       (2) as the number of deployed strategic warheads in the 
     Russian and United States arsenals declines to just a few 
     thousand under the START accords, Russia's vast superiority 
     in tactical nuclear warheads--many of which have yields 
     equivalent to strategic nuclear weapons--could become 
     strategically destabilizing;
       (3) while the United States has unilaterally reduced its 
     inventory of tactical nuclear weapons by nearly ninety 
     percent since the end of the Cold War, Russia is behind 
     schedule in implementing the steep tactical nuclear arms 
     reductions pledged by former Soviet President Gorbachev in 
     1991 and Russian President Yeltsin in 1992, perpetuating the 
     dangers from Russia's tactical nuclear stockpile; and,
       (4) the President of the United States should call on the 
     Russian Federation to expedite reduction of its tactical 
     nuclear arsenal in accordance with the promises made in 1991 
     and 1992.
       (b) Report.--Not later than March 15, 1999, the Secretary 
     of Defense shall submit to the Congress a report on Russia's 
     non-strategic nuclear weapons, including
       (1) estimates regarding the current numbers, types, yields, 
     viability, and locations of such warheads;
       (2) an assessment of the strategic implications of the 
     Russian Federation's non-strategic arsenal, including the 
     potential use of such warheads in a strategic role or the use 
     of their components in strategic nuclear systems;
       (3) an assessment of the extent of the current threat of 
     theft, sale, or unauthorized use of such warheads, including 
     an analysis of Russian command and control as it concerns the 
     use of tactical nuclear warheads; and
       (4) a summary of past, current, and planned efforts to work 
     cooperatively with the Russian Federation to account for, 
     secure, and reduce Russia's stockpile of tactical nuclear 
     warheads and associated fissile material.
       This report shall include the views of the Director of 
     Central Intelligence and the Commander in Chief of the United 
     States Strategic Command.
