      By Mr. FLAKE (for himself and Mr. McCain):
  S. 1592. A bill to clarify the description of certain Federal land 
under the Northern Arizona Land Exchange and Verde River Basin 
Partnership Act of 2005 to include additional land in the Kaibab 
National Forest; to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
  Mr. McCAIN. Mr. President, I am pleased to cosponsor legislation 
introduced by my colleague, Senator Jeff Flake, that would fix a 
mapping error involving the transfer of Forest Service land to Young 
Life's Lost Canyon Camp in northern Arizona.
  The bill, S. 1592, would amend the Northern Arizona Land Exchange and 
Verde River Basin Partnership Act of 2005, P.L. 109-110, to clarify 
that Congress intended that Young Life could purchase at fair market 
value a full 237.5 acres of national forest land in the Kaibab National 
Forest as Congress intended. The Forest Service says there is an error 
in the Forest Service map referenced in the 2005 Act that has omitted 
about 25 acres from the land conveyance. This error appears to be 
preventing the Forest Service and Young Life from finalizing the 
transfer. Each year, nearly 5,000 young campers spend their summer at 
the Lost Canyon Camp, and this land conveyance is needed to expand the 
camp and create a buffer zone around the camp. I urge my colleagues to 
pass this clarifying legislation.
