       For the cost of guaranteed loans, $4,500,000, as authorized 
     by the Indian Financing Act of 1974, as amended: Provided, 
     That such costs, including the cost of modifying such loans, 
     shall be as defined in section 502 of the Congressional 
     Budget Act of 1974: Provided further, That these funds are 
     available to subsidize total loan principal, any part of

                       administrative provisions

       The Bureau of Indian Affairs may carry out the operation of 
     Indian programs by direct expenditure, contracts, cooperative 
     agreements, compacts and grants, either directly or in 
     cooperation with States and other organizations.
       Appropriations for the Bureau of Indian Affairs (except the 
     revolving fund for loans, the Indian loan guarantee and 
     insurance fund, and the Indian Guaranteed Loan Program 
     account) shall be available for expenses of exhibits, and 
     purchase of not to exceed 229 passenger motor vehicles, of 
     which not to exceed 187 shall be for replacement only.
       Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no funds 
     available to the Bureau of Indian Affairs for central office 
     operations, pooled overhead general administration (except 
     facilities operations and maintenance), or provided to 
     implement the recommendations of the National Academy of 
     Public Administration's August 1999 report shall be available 
     for tribal contracts, grants, compacts, or cooperative 
     agreements with the Bureau of Indian Affairs under the 
     provisions of the Indian Self-Determination Act or the Tribal 
     Self-Governance Act of 1994 (Public Law 103-413).
       In the event any tribe returns appropriations made 
     available by this Act to the Bureau of Indian Affairs for 
     distribution to other tribes, this action shall not diminish 
     the Federal Government's trust responsibility to that tribe, 
     or the government-to-government relationship between the 
     United States and that tribe, or that tribe's ability to 
     access future appropriations.
       Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no funds 
     available to the Bureau, other than the amounts provided 
     herein for assistance to public schools under 25 U.S.C. 452 
     et seq., shall be available to support the operation of any 
     elementary or secondary school in the State of Alaska.
       Appropriations made available in this or any other Act for 
     schools funded by the Bureau shall be available only to the 
     schools in the Bureau school system as of September 1, 1996. 
     No funds available to the Bureau shall be used to support 
     expanded grades for any school or dormitory beyond the grade 
     structure in place or approved by the Secretary of the 
     Interior at each school in the Bureau school system as of 
     October 1, 1995. Funds made available under this Act may not 
     be used to establish a charter school at a Bureau-funded 
     school (as that term is defined in section 1146 of the 
     Education Amendments of 1978 (25 U.S.C. 2026)), except that a 
     charter school that is in existence on the date of the 
     enactment of this Act and that has operated at a Bureau-
     funded school before September 1, 1999, may continue to 
     operate during that period, but only if the charter school 
     pays to the Bureau a pro rata share of funds to reimburse the 
     Bureau for the use of the real and personal property 
     (including buses and vans), the funds of the charter school 
     are kept separate and apart from Bureau funds, and the Bureau 
     does not assume any obligation for charter school programs of 
     the State in which the school is located if the charter 
     school loses such funding. Employees of Bureau-funded schools 
     sharing a campus with a charter school and performing 
     functions related to the charter school's operation and 
     employees of a charter school shall not be treated as Federal 
     employees for purposes of chapter 171 of title 28, United 
     States Code (commonly known as the ``Federal Tort Claims 
     Act''). Not later than June 15, 2001, the

     Secretary of the Interior shall evaluate the effectiveness of 
     Bureau-funded schools sharing facilities with charter schools 
     in the manner described in the preceding sentence and prepare 
     and submit a report on the finding of that evaluation to the 
     Committees on Appropriations of the Senate and of the House.

       Sec. 134. (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following 
     findings--
       (1) in 1990, pursuant to the Indian Self-Determination and 
     Education Assistance Act (ISDEAA), 25 U.S.C. 450 et seq., a 
     class action lawsuit was filed by Indian tribal contractors 
     and tribal consortia against the United States, the Secretary 
     of the Interior and others seeking money damages, injunctive 
     relief, and declaratory relief for alleged violations of the 
     ISDEAA (Ramah Navajo Chapter v. Lujan, 112 F.3d 1455 (10th 
     Cir. 1997));
       (2) the parties negotiated a partial settlement of the 
     claim totaling $76,200,000, plus applicable interest, which 
     was approved by the court on May 14, 1999;
       (3) the partial settlement was paid by the United States in 
     September 1999, in the amount of $82,000,000;
       (4) the Judgment Fund was established to pay for legal 
     judgments awarded to plaintiffs who have filed suit against 
     the United States;
       (5) the Contract Disputes Act of 1978 requires that the 
     Judgment Fund be reimbursed by the responsible agency 
     following the payment of an award from the Fund; and
       (6) the shortfall in contract support payments found by the 
     Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit in Ramah resulted 
     primarily from the non-payment or underpayment of indirect 
     costs by agencies other than the Bureau of Indian Affairs and 
     the Indian Health Service.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) repayment of the Judgment Fund for the partial 
     settlement in Ramah from the accounts of the Bureau of Indian 
     Affairs and Indian Health Service would significantly reduce 
     funds appropriated to benefit tribes and individual Native 
     Americans; and
       (2) the Secretary of the Interior should work with the 
     Director of the Office of Management and Budget to secure 
     funding for repayment of the judgment in Ramah within the 
     budgets of the agencies that did not pay indirect costs to 
     plaintiffs during the period 1988 to 1993 or paid indirect 
     costs at less than rates provided under the Indian Self-
     Determination Act during such period.

     American Jazz Masters Fellowship.
       (2) The Chairperson shall establish procedures to ensure 
     that no funding provided through a grant, except a grant made

     awarding financial assistance for projects, productions,

       (b) In this section:
       (1) The term ``underserved population'' means a population 
     of individuals, including urban minorities, who have 
     historically been outside the purview of arts and humanities

       (2) the Chairperson shall not make grants exceeding 15 
     percent, in the aggregate, of such funds to any single State,

       Sec. 320. No part of any appropriation contained in this 
     Act shall be expended or obligated to fund new revisions of 
     national forest land management plans until new final or 
     interim final rules for forest land management planning are

     the Secretary of Agriculture, without regard to the State in 
     which the amounts were derived, to repair or reconstruct 
     roads, bridges, and trails on National Forest System lands or 
     to carry out and administer projects to improve forest health 
     conditions, which may include the repair or reconstruction of 
     roads, bridges, and trails on National Forest System lands in 
     the wildland-community interface where there is an abnormally 
     high risk of fire. The projects shall emphasize reducing 
     risks to human safety and public health and property and 
     enhancing ecological functions, long-term forest 
     productivity, and biological integrity. The Secretary shall 
     commence the projects during fiscal year 2001, but the

     shall not be expended under this section to replace funds 
     which would otherwise appropriately be expended from the 
     timber salvage sale fund. Nothing in this section shall be 
     construed to exempt any project from any environmental law.
       Sec. 326. None of the funds provided in this or previous 
     appropriations Acts for the agencies funded by this Act or 
     provided from any accounts in the Treasury of the United 
     States derived by the collection of fees available to the 
     agencies funded by this Act, shall be transferred to and used 
     to fund personnel, training, or other administrative 
     activities of the Council on Environmental Quality or other 
     offices in the Executive Office of the President for purposes 
     related to the American Heritage Rivers program.
       Sec. 327. Other than in emergency situations, none of the 
     funds in this Act may be used to operate telephone answering 
     machines during core business hours unless such answering 
     machines include an option that enables callers to reach 
     promptly an individual on-duty with the agency being 
     contacted.
       Sec. 328. No timber sale in Region 10 shall be advertised 
     if the indicated rate is deficit when appraised under the 
     transaction evidence appraisal system using domestic Alaska 
     values for western red cedar: Provided, That sales which are 
     deficit when appraised under the transaction evidence 
     appraisal system using domestic Alaska values for western red 
     cedar may be advertised upon receipt of a written request by 
     a prospective, informed bidder, who has the opportunity to 
     review the Forest Service's cruise and harvest cost estimate 
     for that timber. Program accomplishments shall be based on 
     volume sold. Should Region 10 sell, in fiscal year 2001, the 
     annual average portion of the decadal allowable sale quantity 
     called for in the current Tongass Land Management Plan in 
     sales which are not deficit when appraised under the 
     transaction evidence appraisal system using domestic Alaska 
     values for western red cedar, all of the western red cedar 
     timber from those sales which is surplus to the needs of 
     domestic processors in Alaska, shall be made available to 
     domestic processors in the contiguous 48 United States at 
     prevailing domestic prices. Should Region 10 sell, in fiscal 
     year 2001, less than the annual average portion of the 
     decadal allowable sale quantity called for in the current 
     Tongass Land Management Plan in sales which are not deficit 
     when appraised under the transaction evidence appraisal 
     system using domestic Alaska values for western red cedar, 
     the volume of western red cedar timber available to domestic 
     processors at prevailing domestic prices in the contiguous 48 
     United States shall be that volume: (i) which is surplus to 
     the needs of domestic processors in Alaska; and (ii) is that 
     percent of the surplus western red cedar volume determined by 
     calculating the ratio of the total timber volume which has 
     been sold on the Tongass to the annual average portion of the 
     decadal allowable sale quantity called for in the current 
     Tongass Land Management Plan. The percentage shall be 
     calculated by Region 10 on a rolling basis as each sale is 
     sold (for purposes of this amendment, a ``rolling basis'' 
     shall mean that the determination of how much western red 
     cedar is eligible for sale to various markets shall be made 
     at the time each sale is awarded). Western red cedar shall be 
     deemed ``surplus to the needs of domestic processors in 
     Alaska'' when the timber sale holder has presented to the 
     Forest Service documentation of the inability to sell western 
     red cedar logs from a given sale to domestic Alaska 
     processors at price equal to or greater than the log selling 
     value stated in the contract. All additional western red 
     cedar volume not sold to Alaska or contiguous 48 United 
     States domestic processors may be exported to foreign markets 
     at the election of the timber sale holder. All Alaska yellow 
     cedar may be sold at prevailing export prices at the election 
     of the timber sale holder.
       Sec. 329. None of the funds appropriated by this Act shall 
     be used to propose or issue rules, regulations, decrees, or 
     orders for the purpose of implementation, or in preparation 
     for implementation, of the Kyoto Protocol which was adopted 
     on December 11, 1997, in Kyoto, Japan at the

[[Page 15498]]

     Third Conference of the Parties to the United Nations 
     Framework Convention on Climate Change, which has not been 
     submitted to the Senate for advice and consent to 
     ratification pursuant to article II, section 2, clause 2, of 
     the United States Constitution, and which has not entered 
     into force pursuant to article 25 of the Protocol.
       Sec. 330. The Forest Service, in consultation with the 
     Department of Labor, shall review Forest Service campground 
     concessions policy to determine if modifications can be made 
     to Forest Service contracts for campgrounds so that such 
     concessions fall within the regulatory exemption of 29 CFR 
     4.122(b). The Forest Service shall offer in fiscal year 2001 
     such concession prospectuses under the regulatory exemption, 
     except that, any prospectus that does not meet the 
     requirements of the regulatory exemption shall be offered as 
     a service contract in accordance with the requirements of 41 
     U.S.C. 351-358.
       Sec. 331. A project undertaken by the Forest Service under 
     the Recreation Fee Demonstration Program as authorized by 
     section 315 of the Department of the Interior and Related 
     Agencies Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1996, as amended, 
     shall not result in--
