                  (B) proclaimed as the first archeological preserve in

                          PURPOSE OF THE BILL

    The purpose of H.R. 4840 is to modify the boundary of the 
Casa Grande Ruins National Monument.

                  BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION

    H.R. 4840 modifies the boundary of the Casa Grande Ruins 
National Monument, located in the State of Arizona, to include 
approximately 3.8 acres of land managed by the Bureau of Land 
Management (BLM) as well as approximately 7.41 acres of land 
currently administered by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). 
The bill, as reported, also transfers approximately 3.5 acres 
of National Park Service (NPS) land to BIA for the San Carlos 
Irrigation Project to correct an unintentional trespass of the 
Project and transfers 3.7 acres of BLM-managed lands to BIA in 
order to facilitate the widening and paving of the Pima Lateral 
Canal.\1\ In addition, the legislation authorizes NPS to enter 
into an agreement with the State of Arizona for the cooperative 
management of approximately 200 acres of state trust land near 
the Casa Grande Ruins National Monument. The bill roughly 
doubles the size of the national monument, expanding the 
boundaries to include a portion of the historic Hohokam farming 
land and the townsite of Adamsville, which may be purchased or 
cooperatively managed by the Department of the Interior.\2\
