     percent of the national average.

     dwindling resources in poor rural communities, southeastern 
     Oklahoma is experiencing an out-migration of people.

     for the residents to benefit from their natural resources.
       (5) Trends as described in paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) are 
     not conducive to local economic development, and efforts to

     findings described in subsection (a), and in order to assist 
     communities in southeastern Oklahoma in benefiting from their

     Representatives that--
       (1) the State of Oklahoma and the Choctaw Nation of 
     Oklahoma and the Chickasaw Nation, Oklahoma, should establish 
     a State-tribal commission composed equally of representatives 
     of such Nations and residents of the water basins within the 
     boundaries of such Nations for the purpose of administering 
     and distributing from the sale of water any benefits and net 
     revenues to the tribes and local entities within the 
     respective basins;

[[Page 23773]]

       (2) any sale of water to entities outside the basins should 
     be consistent with the procedures and requirements 
     established by the commission; and
       (3) if requested, the Secretary should provide technical 
     assistance, as appropriate, to facilitate the efforts of the 
     commission.

     States Government, shall display under the accounts 
     ``Construction, General'' and ``Operation and Maintenance, 
     General'' of the title ``Department of Defense--Civil,

     and the percentage such level represents of the overall 
     levels in such accounts. The President shall also include an 
     assessment of the impact such funding levels for the Plan 
     would have on the budget year and long-term funding levels 
     for the overall Corps of Engineers civil works program.
       (o) Surplus Federal Lands.--Section 390(f)(2)(A)(i) of the 
     Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (110 
     Stat. 1023) is amended by inserting after ``on or after the

     the date of enactment of the Water Resource Development Act 
     of 2000''.
       (p) Severability.--If any provision or remedy provided by

     SEC. 602. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING HOMESTEAD AIR FORCE 
                   BASE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) the Everglades is an American treasure and includes 
     uniquely-important and diverse wildlife resources and 
     recreational opportunities;
       (2) the preservation of the pristine and natural character 
     of the South Florida ecosystem is critical to the regional 
     economy;
       (3) as this legislation demonstrates, Congress believes it 
     to be a vital national mission to restore and preserve this 
     ecosystem and accordingly is authorizing a significant 
     Federal investment to do so;
       (4) Congress seeks to have the remaining property at the 
     former Homestead Air Base conveyed and reused as 
     expeditiously as possible, and several options for base reuse 
     are being considered, including as a commercial airport; and
       (5) Congress is aware that the Homestead site is located in 
     a sensitive environmental location, and that Biscayne 
     National Park is only approximately 1.5 miles to the east, 
     Everglades National Park approximately 8 miles to the west, 
     and the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary approximately 
     10 miles to the south.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) development at the Homestead site could potentially 
     cause significant air, water, and noise pollution and result 
     in the degradation of adjacent national parks and other 
     protected Federal resources;
       (2) in their decisionmaking, the Federal agencies charged 
     with determining the reuse of the remaining property at the 
     Homestead base should carefully consider and weigh all 
     available information concerning potential environmental 
     impacts of various reuse options;
       (3) the redevelopment of the former base should be 
     consistent with restoration goals, provide desirable numbers 
     of jobs and economic redevelopment for the community, and be 
     consistent with other applicable laws;
       (4) consistent with applicable laws, the Secretary of the 
     Air Force should proceed as quickly as practicable to issue a 
     final SEIS and Record of Decision so that reuse of the former 
     air base can proceed expeditiously;
       (5) following conveyance of the remaining surplus property, 
     the Secretary, as part of his oversight for Everglades 
     restoration, should cooperate with the entities to which the 
     various parcels of surplus property were conveyed so that the 
     planned use of those properties is implemented in such a 
     manner as to remain consistent with the goals of the 
     Everglades restoration plan; and
       (6) by August 1, 2002, the Secretary should submit a report 
     to the appropriate committees of Congress on actions taken 
     and make any recommendations for consideration by Congress.
