(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.

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.

watershed restoration and protection services on National Forest System
lands proposed for performance by the Colorado State Forest Service
under subsection (a), any decision required to be made under the
