     the Secretary of the Interior may provide funds to the Bass 
     Lake Joint Union Elementary School District and the Mariposa

     educational services to students--
       (A) who are dependents of persons engaged in the 
     administration, operation, and maintenance of Yosemite 
     National Park; or
       (B) who live within or near the park upon real property 
     owned by the United States.
       (2) The Secretary's authority to make payments under this 
     section shall terminate if the State of California or local 
     education agencies do not continue to provide funding to the 
     schools referred to in subsection (a) at per student levels 
     that are no less than the amount provided in fiscal year 
     2004.
       (b) Limitation on Use of Funds.--Payments made under this 
     section shall only be used to pay public employees for 
     educational services provided in accordance with subsection 
     (a). Payments may not be used for construction, construction 
     contracts, or major capital improvements.
       (c) Limitation on Amount of Funds.--Payments made under 
     this section shall not exceed the lesser of--
       (1) $400,000 in any fiscal year; or
       (2) the amount necessary to provide students described in 
     subsection (a) with educational services that are normally 
     provided and generally available to students who attend 
     public schools elsewhere in the State of California.
       (d) Source of Payments.--(1) Except as otherwise provided 
     in this subsection, the Secretary may use funds available to 
     the National Park Service from appropriations, donations, or 
     fees.
       (2) Funds from the following sources shall not be used to 
     make payments under this section:
       (A) Any law authorizing the collection or expenditure of 
     entrance or use fees at units of the National Park System, 
     including the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965 
     (16 U.S.C. 460l-4 et seq.); the recreational fee 
     demonstration program established under section 315 of the 
     Department of the Interior and Related Agencies 
     Appropriations Act, 1996 (16 U.S.C. 460l-6a note); and the

     to make payments under this section only if the funding

     subtracting any payments to the school districts authorized 
     under this section) is greater than or equal to the amount 
     made available to the park for the prior fiscal year, or in 
     fiscal year 2004, whichever is greater.
       (B) It is the sense of Congress that any payments made 
     under this section should not result in a reduction of funds 
     to Yosemite National Park from any specific funding source, 
     and that with respect to appropriated funds, funding levels 
     should reflect annual increases in the park's operating base 
     funds that are generally made to units of the National Park 
     System.

                   OUTSIDE THE BOUNDARIES OF YOSEMITE NATIONAL

     Subtitle B--Castillo de San Marcos National Monument Boundary 
                              Modification

     SEC. 911. SHORT TITLE.

       This subtitle may be cited as the ``Castillo de San Marcos 
     National Monument Boundary Adjustment Act of 2004''.

     SEC. 912. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds the following:
       (1) The early defense lines for Fort Marion, Florida, today 
     known as the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument, 
     included defenses extending in a line due west to the 
     Sebastian River, a distance of about one half mile.
       (2) In the 1830's, during the Seminole Wars in Florida, 
     these defensive lines were maintained, but as Florida became 
     more settled they fell into disrepair and/or became obsolete.
       (3) In 1908 the War Department deeded much of the property 
     running west to the Sebastian River to the St. Johns County 
     Board of Public Instruction. The portion of this property 
     remaining in federal ownership today is occupied by Orange 
     Street, a City of St. Augustine, Florida street.
       (4) For nearly a century, the City of St. Augustine has 
     maintained and managed Orange Street, a modern city street, 
     and associated utilities in the Orange Street corridor.
       (5) Any archeological remains that are still present on the 
     property overlaid by Orange Street are adequately protected 
     by the City's archeological ordinances, and by the City 
     having an archeologist on staff.
       (6) Although the city currently operates Orange Street 
     under a right-of-way from the National Park Service, from a 
     management perspective it is appropriate for the City of St. 
     Augustine to own Orange Street.

     SEC. 913. BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENT.

       (a) Conveyance of Land.--The Secretary of the Interior 
     shall convey, without consideration, to the City of St. 
     Augustine, Florida, all right, title, and interest of the 
     United States in and to the lands known as Orange Street, a 
     portion of the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument 
     (Monument), consisting of approximately 3.1 acres, as shown 
     on the map entitled Castillo de San Marcos National Monument 
     Boundary Adjustment and Correction, numbered 343/80060, and 
     dated April 2003. Upon completion of the conveyance, the 
     Secretary shall revise the boundary of the Monument to 
     exclude the land conveyed.
       (b) Boundary Revision.--Effective on the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the boundary of the Monument is 
     revised to include an area of approximately 0.45 acres, as 
     shown on the map identified in subsection (a). The Secretary 
     shall administer the lands included in the boundary as part 
     of the national monument in accordance with applicable laws 
     and regulations.

               TITLE XIV--CENTRAL NEVADA RURAL CEMETERIES

       This title may be cited as the ``Central Nevada Rural 
     Cemeteries Act''.

     SEC. 1402. CONVEYANCE TO LANDER COUNTY, NEVADA.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) the historical use by settlers and travelers since the 
     late 1800's of the cemetery known as ``Kingston Cemetery'' in 
     Kingston, Nevada, predates incorporation of the land within 
     the jurisdiction of the Forest Service on which the cemetery 
     is situated;
       (2) it is appropriate that that use be continued through 
     local public ownership of the parcel rather than through the 
     permitting process of the Federal agency;
       (3) in accordance with Public Law 85-569 (commonly known as 
     the ``Townsite Act'') (16 U.S.C. 478a), the Forest Service 
     has conveyed to the Town of Kingston 1.25 acres of the land 
     on which historic gravesites have been identified; and
       (4) to ensure that all areas that may have unmarked 
     gravesites are included, and to ensure the availability of 
     adequate gravesite space in future years, an additional 
     parcel consisting of approximately 8.75 acres should be 
     conveyed to the county so as to include the total amount of 
     the acreage included in the original permit issued by the 
     Forest Service for the cemetery.
       (b) Conveyance on Condition Subsequent.--Subject to valid 
     existing rights and the condition stated in subsection (e), 
     the Secretary of Agriculture, acting through the Chief of the 
     Forest Service (referred to in this section as the 
     ``Secretary''), not later than 90 days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, shall convey to Lander County, Nevada 
     (referred to in this section as the ``county''), for no 
     consideration, all right, title, and interest of the United 
     States in and to the parcel of land described in subsection 
     (c).
       (c) Description of Land.--The parcel of land referred to in 
     subsection (b) is the parcel of National Forest System land 
     (including any improvements on the land) known as ``Kingston 
     Cemetery'', consisting of approximately 10 acres and more 
     particularly described as SW\1/4\SE\1/4\SE\1/4\ of section 
     36, T. 16N., R. 43E., Mount Diablo Meridian.
       (d) Easement.--At the time of the conveyance under 
     subsection (b), subject to subsection (e)(2), the Secretary 
     shall grant the county an easement allowing access for 
     persons desiring to visit the cemetery and other cemetery 
     purposes over Forest Development Road #20307B, 
     notwithstanding any future closing of the road for other use.
       (e) Condition on Use of Land.--
       (1) In general.--The county (including its successors) 
     shall continue the use of the parcel conveyed under 
     subsection (b) as a cemetery.
       (2) Reversion.--If the Secretary, after notice to the 
     county and an opportunity for a hearing, makes a finding that 
     the county has used or permitted the use of the parcel for 
     any purpose other than the purpose specified in paragraph 
     (1), and the county fails to discontinue that use--
       (A) title to the parcel shall revert to the Secretary, to 
     be administered by the Secretary; and
       (B) the easement granted to the county under subsection (d) 
     shall be revoked.
       (3) Waiver.--The Secretary may waive the application of 
     subparagraph (A) or (B) of paragraph (2) if the Secretary 
     determines that a waiver would be in the best interests of 
     the United States.

     SEC. 1403. CONVEYANCE TO EUREKA COUNTY, NEVADA.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) the historical use by settlers and travelers since the 
     late 1800's of the cemetery known as ``Maiden's Grave 
     Cemetery'' in Beowawe, Nevada, predates incorporation of the 
     land within the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management 
     on which the cemetery is situated; and
       (2) it is appropriate that that use be continued through 
     local public ownership of the parcel rather than through the 
     permitting process of the Federal agency.
       (b) Conveyance on Condition Subsequent.--Subject to valid 
     existing rights and the condition stated in subsection (e), 
     the Secretary of the Interior, acting through the Director of 
     the Bureau of Land Management (referred to in this section as 
     the ``Secretary''), not later than 90 days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, shall convey to Eureka County, Nevada 
     (referred to in this section as the ``county''), for no 
     consideration, all right, title, and interest of the United 
     States in and to the parcel of land described in subsection 
     (c).
       (c) Description of Land.--The parcel of land referred to in 
     subsection (b) is the parcel of public land (including any

                TITLE XVI--WESTERN RESERVE HERITAGE AREA

     SEC. 1601. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Western Reserve Heritage 
     Areas Study Act''.

     SEC. 1602. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE STUDY REGARDING THE WESTERN 
                   RESERVE, OHIO.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
       (1) The area that encompasses the modern-day counties of 
     Trumbull, Mahoning, Ashtabula, Portage, Geagua, Lake, 
     Cuyahoga, Summit, Medina, Huron, Lorain, Erie, Ottawa, and 
     Ashland in Ohio with the rich history in what was once the 
     Western Reserve, has made a unique contribution to the 
     cultural, political and industrial development of the United 
     States.
       (2) The Western Reserve is distinctive as the land settled 
     by the people of Connecticut after the Revolutionary War. The 
     Western Reserve holds a unique mark as the original 
     wilderness land of the West that many settlers migrated to in 
     order to begin life outside of the original 13 colonies.
       (3) The Western Reserve played a significant role in 
     providing land to the people of Connecticut whose property 
     and land was destroyed during the Revolution. These settlers 
     were descendants of the brave immigrants who came to the 
     Americas in the 17th century.
       (4) The Western Reserve offered a new destination for those 
     who moved west in search of land and prosperity. The 
     agricultural and industrial base that began in the Western 
     Reserve still lives strong in these prosperous and historical 
     counties.
       (5) The heritage of the Western Reserve remains transfixed 
     in the counties of Trumbull, Mahoning, Ashtabula, Portage, 
     Geagua, Lake, Cuyahoga, Summit, Medina, Huron, Lorain, Erie, 
     Ottawa, and Ashland in Ohio. The people of these counties are 
     proud of their heritage as shown through the unwavering 
     attempts to preserve agricultural land and the industrial 
     foundation that has been embedded in this region since the 
     establishment of the Western Reserve. Throughout these 
     counties, historical sites, and markers preserve the unique 
     traditions and customs of its original heritage.
       (6) The counties that encompass the Western Reserve 
     continue to maintain a strong connection to its historic past 
     as seen through its preservation of its local heritage, 
     including historic homes, buildings, and centers of public 
     gatherings.
       (7) There is a need for assistance for the preservation and 
     promotion of the significance of the Western Reserve as the 
     natural, historic and cultural heritage of the counties of 
     Trumbull, Mahoning, Ashtabula, Portage, Geagua, Lake, 
     Cuyahoga, Summit, Medina, Huron, Lorain, Erie, Ottawa and 
     Ashland in Ohio.
       (8) The Department of the Interior is responsible for 
     protecting the Nation's cultural and historical resources. 
     There are significant examples of such resources within these 
     counties and what was once the Western Reserve to merit the 
     involvement of the Federal Government in the development of 
     programs and projects, in cooperation with the State of Ohio 
     and other local governmental entities, to adequately 
     conserve, protect, and interpret this heritage for future 
     generations, while providing opportunities for education and 
     revitalization.
       (b) Study.--
       (1) In general.--The Secretary shall, in consultation with 
     the State of Ohio, the counties of Trumbull, Mahoning, 
     Ashtabula, Portage, Geagua, Lake, Cuyahoga, Summit, Medina, 
     Huron, Lorain, Erie, Ottawa, and Ashland, and other 
     appropriate organizations, carry out a study regarding the 
     suitability and feasibility of establishing the Western 
     Reserve Heritage Area in these counties in Ohio.
       (2) Contents.--The study shall include analysis and 
     documentation regarding whether the Study Area--
       (A) has an assemblage of natural, historic, and cultural 
     resources that together represent distinctive aspects of 
     American heritage worthy of recognition, conservation, 
     interpretation, and continuing use, and are best managed 
     through partnerships among public and private entities and by 
     combining diverse and sometimes noncontiguous resources and 
     active communities;
       (B) reflects traditions, customs, beliefs, and folklife 
     that are a valuable part of the national story;
       (C) provides outstanding opportunities to conserve natural, 
     historic, cultural, or scenic features;
       (D) provides outstanding recreational and educational 
     opportunities;
       (E) contains resources important to the identified theme or 
     themes of the Study Area that retain a degree of integrity 
     capable of supporting interpretation;
       (F) includes residents, business interests, nonprofit 
     organizations, and local and State governments that are 
     involved in the planning, have developed a conceptual 
     financial plan that outlines the roles for all participants, 
     including the Federal Government, and have demonstrated 
     support for the concept of a national heritage area;
       (G) has a potential management entity to work in 
     partnership with residents, business interests, nonprofit 
     organizations, and local and State governments to develop a 
     national heritage area consistent with continued local and 
     State economic activity;
       (H) has a conceptual boundary map that is supported by the 
     public; and
       (I) has potential or actual impact on private property 
     located within or abutting the Study Area.
       (c) Boundaries of the Study Area.--The Study Area shall be 
     comprised of the counties of Trumbull, Mahoning, Ashtabula, 
     Portage, Geagua, Lake, Cuyahoga, Summit, Medina, Huron, 
     Lorain, Erie, Ottawa, and Ashland in Ohio.

     SEC. 1701. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Tribal Parity Act''.

     SEC. 1702. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds that--
       (1) the Pick-Sloan Missouri River Basin Program (authorized 
     by section 9 of the Act of December 22, 1944 (commonly known 
     as the ``Flood Control Act of 1944'') (58 Stat. 891)), was 
     approved to promote the general economic development of the 
     United States;
       (2) the Fort Randall and Big Bend dam and reservoir 
     projects in South Dakota--
       (A) are major components of the Pick-Sloan Missouri River 
     Basin Program; and
       (B) contribute to the national economy;
       (3) the Fort Randall and Big Bend projects inundated the 
     fertile bottom land of the Lower Brule and Crow Creek Sioux 
     Tribes, which greatly damaged the economy and cultural 
     resources of the Tribes;
       (4) Congress has provided compensation to several Indian 
     tribes, including the Lower Brule and Crow Creek Sioux 
     Tribes, that border the Missouri River and suffered injury as 
     a result of 1 or more Pick-Sloan Projects;
       (5) the compensation provided to those Indian tribes has 
     not been consistent;
       (6) Missouri River Indian tribes that suffered injury as a 
     result of 1 or more Pick-Sloan Projects should be adequately 
     compensated for those injuries, and that compensation should 
     be consistent among the Tribes; and
       (7) the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe and the Crow Creek Sioux 
     Tribe, based on methodology determined appropriate by the 
     General Accounting Office, are entitled to receive additional 
     compensation for injuries described in paragraph (6), so as 
     to provide parity among compensation received by all Missouri 
     River Indian tribes.

        TITLE XVIII--NORTHERN RIO GRANDE NATIONAL HERITAGE AREA

     SEC. 1801. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) northern New Mexico encompasses a mosaic of cultures 
     and history, including eight Pueblos and the descendants of 
     Spanish ancestors who settled in the area in 1598;
       (2) the combination of cultures, languages, folk arts, 
     customs, and architecture make northern New Mexico unique;
       (3) the area includes spectacular natural, scenic, and 
     recreational resources;
       (4) there is broad support from local governments and 
     interested individuals to establish a National Heritage Area 
     to coordinate and assist in the preservation and 
     interpretation of these resources;
       (5) in 1991, the National Park Service study Alternative 
     Concepts for Commemorating Spanish Colonization identified 
     several alternatives consistent with the establishment of a 
     National Heritage Area, including conducting a comprehensive 
     archaeological and historical research program, coordinating 
     a comprehensive interpretation program, and interpreting a 
     cultural heritage scene; and
       (6) establishment of a National Heritage Area in northern 
     New Mexico would assist local communities and residents in 
     preserving these unique cultural, historical and natural 
     resources.

        TITLE XX--CHAMPLAIN VALLEY NATIONAL HERITAGE PARTNERSHIP

     SEC. 2001. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Champlain Valley National 
     Heritage Partnership Act of 2003''.

     SEC. 2002. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) the Champlain Valley and its extensive cultural and 
     natural resources have played a significant role in the 
     history of the United States and the individual States of 
     Vermont and New York;
       (2) archaeological evidence indicates that the Champlain 
     Valley has been inhabited by humans since the last retreat of 
     the glaciers, with the Native Americans living in the area at 
     the time of European discovery being primarily of Iroquois 
     and Algonquin descent;
       (3) the linked waterways of the Champlain Valley, including 
     the Richelieu River in Canada, played a unique and 
     significant role in the establishment and development of the 
     United States and Canada through several distinct eras, 
     including--

[[Page 25594]]

       (A) the era of European exploration, during which Samuel de 
     Champlain and other explorers used the waterways as a means 
     of access through the wilderness;
       (B) the era of military campaigns, including highly 
     significant military campaigns of the French and Indian War, 
     the American Revolution, and the War of 1812; and
       (C) the era of maritime commerce, during which canals 
     boats, schooners, and steamships formed the backbone of 
     commercial transportation for the region;
       (4) those unique and significant eras are best described by 
     the theme ``The Making of Nations and Corridors of 
     Commerce'';
       (5) the artifacts and structures associated with those eras 
     are unusually well-preserved;
       (6) the Champlain Valley is recognized as having one of the 
     richest collections of historical resources in North America;
       (7) the history and cultural heritage of the Champlain 
     Valley are shared with Canada and the Province of Quebec;
       (8) there are benefits in celebrating and promoting this 
     mutual heritage;
       (9) tourism is among the most important industries in the 
     Champlain Valley, and heritage tourism in particular plays a 
     significant role in the economy of the Champlain Valley;
       (10) it is important to enhance heritage tourism in the 
     Champlain Valley while ensuring that increased visitation 
     will not impair the historical and cultural resources of the 
     region;
       (11) according to the 1999 report of the National Park 
     Service entitled ``Champlain Valley Heritage Corridor 
     Project'', ``the Champlain Valley contains resources and 
     represents a theme `The Making of Nations and Corridors of 
     Commerce', that is of outstanding importance in U.S. 
     history''; and
       (12) it is in the interest of the United States to preserve 
     and interpret the historical and cultural resources of the

       (1) the natural, cultural, and historic heritage of the 
     North American Great Basin is nationally significant;
       (2) communities along the Great Basin Heritage Route 
     (including the towns of Delta, Utah, Ely, Nevada, and the 
     surrounding communities) are located in a classic western 
     landscape that contains long natural vistas, isolated high 
     desert valleys, mountain ranges, ranches, mines, historic 
     railroads, archaeological sites, and tribal communities;
       (3) the Native American, pioneer, ranching, mining, timber, 
     and railroad heritages associated with the Great Basin 
     Heritage Route include the social history and living cultural 
     traditions of a rich diversity of nationalities;
       (4) the pioneer, Mormon, and other religious settlements, 
     and ranching, timber, and mining activities of the region 
     played and continue to play a significant role in the 
     development of the United States, shaped by--
       (A) the unique geography of the Great Basin;
       (B) an influx of people of Greek, Chinese, Basque, Serb, 
     Croat, Italian, and Hispanic descent; and
       (C) a Native American presence (Western Shoshone, Northern 
     and Southern Paiute, and Goshute) that continues in the Great 
     Basin today;
       (5) the Great Basin housed internment camps for Japanese-
     American citizens during World War II, 1 of which, Topaz, was 
     located along the Heritage Route;
       (6) the pioneer heritage of the Heritage Route includes the 
     Pony Express route and stations, the Overland Stage, and many 
     examples of 19th century exploration of the western United 
     States;
       (7) the Native American heritage of the Heritage Route 
     dates back thousands of years and includes--
       (A) archaeological sites;

     tribes;
       (8) the Heritage Route contains multiple biologically 
     diverse ecological communities that are home to exceptional 
     species such as--

     world;
       (B) wildlife adapted to harsh desert conditions;
       (C) unique plant communities, lakes, and streams; and
       (D) native Bonneville cutthroat trout;
       (9) the air and water quality of the Heritage Route is 
     among the best in the United States, and the clear air 
     permits outstanding viewing of the night skies;
       (10) the Heritage Route includes unique and outstanding 
     geologic features such as numerous limestone caves, classic 
     basin and range topography with playa lakes, alluvial fans, 
     volcanics, cold and hot springs, and recognizable features of 
     ancient Lake Bonneville;
       (11) the Heritage Route includes an unusual variety of open 
     space and recreational and educational opportunities because 
     of the great quantity of ranching activity and public land 
     (including city, county, and State parks, national forests, 
     Bureau of Land Management land, and a national park);
       (12) there are significant archaeological, historical, 
     cultural, natural, scenic, and recreational resources in the

     of government, the private sector, and the local communities 
     within White Pine County, Nevada, Millard County, Utah, and 
     the Duckwater Shoshone Reservation;
       (2) to enable communities referred to in paragraph (1) to 
     conserve their heritage while continuing to develop economic 
     opportunities; and

     historical, cultural, natural, scenic, and recreational 
     resources related to the unique ranching, industrial, and

TITLE XXII--BLEEDING KANSAS AND ENDURING STRUGGLE FOR FREEDOM NATIONAL 
                             HERITAGE AREA

     SEC. 2201. SHORT TITLE.

        This title may be cited as the ``Bleeding Kansas National 
     Heritage Area Act''.

     SEC. 2202. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The Bleeding Kansas National Heritage Area is a 
     cohesive assemblage of natural,

[[Page 25597]]

     historic, cultural, and recreational resources that--
       (A) together represent distinctive aspects of American 
     heritage worthy of recognition, conservation, interpretation, 
     and continuing use;
       (B) are best managed through partnerships between private 
     and public entities; and
       (C) will build upon the Kansas rural development policy and 
     the new homestead act to recognize inherent strengths of 
     small towns and rural communities--close-knit communities, 
     strong local business networks, and a tradition of 
     entrepreneurial creativity.
       (2) The Bleeding Kansas National Heritage Area reflects 
     traditions, customs, beliefs, folk life, or some combination 
     thereof, that are a valuable part of the heritage of the 
     United States.
       (3) The Bleeding Kansas National Heritage Area provides 
     outstanding opportunities to conserve natural, cultural, or 
     historic features, or some combination thereof.
       (4) The Bleeding Kansas National Heritage Area provides 
     outstanding recreational and interpretive opportunities.
       (5) The Bleeding Kansas National Heritage Area has an 
     identifiable theme, and resources important to the theme 
     retain integrity capable of supporting interpretation.
       (6) Residents, nonprofit organizations, other private 
     entities, and units of local government throughout the 
     Bleeding Kansas National Heritage Area demonstrate support 
     for designation of the Bleeding Kansas National Heritage Area 
     as a national heritage area and for management of the 
     Bleeding Kansas National Heritage Area as appropriate for 
     such designation.
       (7) Capturing these interconnected stories through 
     partnerships with National Park Service sites, Kansas State 
     Historical Society sites, local organizations, and citizens 
     will augment the story opportunities within the prospective 
     boundary for the educational and recreational benefit of this 
     and future generations of Americans.
       (8) Communities throughout this region know the value of 
     their Bleeding Kansas legacy, but require expansion of the 
     existing cooperative framework to achieve key preservation, 
     education, and other significant goals by working more 
     closely together.
       (9) The State of Kansas officially recognized the national 
     significance of the Bleeding Kansas story when it designated 
     the heritage area development as a significant strategic goal 
     within the statewide economic development plan.
       (10) Territorial Kansas Heritage Alliance is a nonprofit 
     corporation created for the purposes of preserving, 
     interpreting, developing, promoting and, making available to 
     the public the story and resources related to the story of 
     Bleeding Kansas and the Enduring Struggle for Freedom.
       (11) Territorial Kansas Heritage Alliance has completed a 
     study that--
       (A) describes in detail the role, operation, financing, and 
     functions of Territorial Kansas Heritage Alliance, the 
     management entity; and
       (B) provides adequate assurances that Territorial Kansas 
     Heritage Alliance, the management entity, is likely to have 
     the financial resources necessary to implement the management 
     plan for the Heritage Area, including resources to meet 
     matching requirement for grants.
       (12) There are at least 7 National Historic Landmarks, 32 
     National Register properties, 3 Kansas Register properties, 
     and 7 properties listed on the National Underground Railroad 
     Network to Freedom that contribute to the Heritage Area as 
     well as other significant properties that have not been 
     designated at this time.
       (13) There is an interest in interpreting all sides of the 
     Bleeding Kansas story that requires further work with several 
     counties in Missouri interested in joining the area.
       (14) In 2004, the State of Kansas is commemorating the 
     Sesquicentennial of the signing of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, 
     opening the territory to settlement.
       (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are as follows:
       (1) To designate a region in eastern Kansas and western 
     Missouri containing nationally important natural, historic, 
     and cultural resources and recreational and educational 
     opportunities that are geographically assembled and 
     thematically related as areas that provide unique frameworks 
     for understanding the great and diverse character of the 
     United States and the development of communities and their 
     surroundings as the Bleeding Kansas National Heritage Area.
       (2) To strengthen, complement, and support the Fort Scott, 
     Brown v. Board of Education, Nicodemus and Tallgrass Prairie 
     sites through the interpretation and conservation of the 
     associated living landscapes outside of the boundaries of 
     these units of the National Park System.
       (3) To describe the extent of Federal responsibilities and 
     duties in regard to the Heritage Area.
       (4) To further collaboration and partnerships among 
     Federal, State, and local governments, nonprofit 
     organizations, and the private sector, or combinations 
     thereof, to conserve and manage the resources and 
     opportunities in the Heritage Area through grants, technical 
     assistance, training and other means.
       (5) To authorize Federal financial and technical assistance 
     to management entity to assist in the conservation and 
     interpretation of the Heritage Area.
       (6) To empower communities and organizations in Kansas to 
     preserve the special historic identity of Bleeding Kansas and 
     with it the identity of the Nation.
       (7) To provide for the management, preservation, 
     protection, and interpretation of the natural, historical, 
     and cultural resources within the region for the educational 
     and inspirational benefit of current and future generations.
       (8) To provide greater community capacity through inter-
     local cooperation.
       (9) To provide a vehicle, particularly in the four counties 
     with high out-migration of population, to recognize that 
     self-reliance and resilience will be the keys to their 
     economic future.
       (10) To build upon the Kansas rural development policy, the 
     Kansas agritourism initiative and the new homestead act to 
     recognize inherent strengths of small towns and rural 
     communities--close-knit communities, strong local business 
     networks, and a tradition of entrepreneurial creativity.
       (11) To educate and cultivate among its citizens, 
     particularly its youth, the stories and cultural resources of 
     the region's legacy that--
       (A) reflect the popular phrase ``Bleeding Kansas'' 
     describing the conflict over slavery that became nationally 
     prominent in Kansas just before and during the American Civil 
     War;
       (B) reflect the commitment of American settlers who first 
     fought and killed to uphold their different and 
     irreconcilable principles of freedom and equality during the 
     years of the Kansas Conflict;
       (C) reflect the struggle for freedom, experienced during 
     the ``Bleeding Kansas'' era, that continues to be a vital and 
     pressing issue associated with the real problem of democratic 
     nation building; and
       (D) recreate the physical environment revealing its impact 
     on agriculture, transportation, trade and business, and 
     social and cultural patterns in urban and rural settings.
       (12) To interpret the effect of the era's democratic ethos 
     on the development of America's distinctive political 
     culture.

     SEC. 2301. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``National Mormon Pioneer 
     Heritage Area Act''.

     SEC. 2302. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) the historical, cultural, and natural heritage legacies 
     of Mormon colonization and settlement are nationally 
     significant;
       (2) in the area starting along the Highway 89 corridor at 
     the Arizona border, passing through Kane, Garfield, Piute, 
     Sevier, Wayne, and Sanpete Counties in the State of Utah, and 
     terminating in Fairview, Utah, there are a variety of 
     heritage resources that demonstrate--
       (A) the colonization of the western United States; and
       (B) the expansion of the United States as a major world 
     power;
       (3) the great relocation to the western United States was 
     facilitated by--
       (A) the 1,400 mile trek from Illinois to the Great Salt 
     Lake by the Mormon pioneers; and
       (B) the subsequent colonization effort in Nevada, Utah, the 
     southeast corner of Idaho, the southwest corner of Wyoming, 
     large areas of southeastern Oregon, much of southern 
     California, and areas along the eastern border of California;
       (4) the 250-mile Highway 89 corridor from Kanab to 
     Fairview, Utah, contains some of the best features of the 
     Mormon colonization experience in the United States;
       (5) the landscape, architecture, traditions, beliefs, folk 
     life, products, and events along Highway 89 convey the 
     heritage of the pioneer settlement;
       (6) the Boulder Loop, Capitol Reef National Park, Zion 
     National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, and the Highway 89 
     area convey the compelling story of how early settlers--
       (A) interacted with Native Americans; and
       (B) established towns and cities in a harsh, yet 
     spectacular, natural environment;
       (7) the colonization and settlement of the Mormon settlers 
     opened up vast amounts of natural resources, including coal, 
     uranium, silver, gold, and copper;
       (8) the Mormon colonization played a significant role in 
     the history and progress of the development and settlement of 
     the western United States; and
       (9) the artisans, crafters, innkeepers, outfitters, 
     historic landscape, customs, national parks, and architecture 
     in the Heritage Area make the Heritage Area unique.
       (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this title is to establish the 
     Heritage Area to--
       (1) foster a close working relationship with all levels of 
     government, the private sector, residents, business 
     interests, and local communities in the State;
       (2) empower communities in the State to conserve, preserve, 
     and enhance the heritage of the communities while 
     strengthening future economic opportunities;
       (3) conserve, interpret, and develop the historical, 
     cultural, natural, and recreational resources within the 
     Heritage Area; and
       (4) expand, foster, and develop heritage businesses and 
     products relating to the cultural heritage of the Heritage 
     Area.
