SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Taliesin Preservation Act of 1994''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) ``Taliesin'', the nationally significant 600-acre site
located in the State of Wisconsin, together with its structures
and improvements, was the home and studio of the exceptionally
gifted and outstanding artist, architect Frank Lloyd Wright,
from 1911 until 1959, and was designated as a National Historic
Landmark in 1976; and
(2) Taliesin is the preeminent single site in the Nation
for interpreting the life, work, and ideas of Wright, and can
best be protected and interpreted through designation as an
affiliated area of the National Park System, while remaining
under private ownership and management.
(b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to provide for the
preservation and interpretation of the Taliesin site by the Secretary
of the Interior (hereinafter referred to as the ``Secretary''), for the
benefit of present and future generations.
SEC. 3. COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS AND PLAN.
(a) Cooperative Agreements.--(1) In furtherance of this Act, the
Secretary is authorized to enter into cooperative agreements with the
owner or operator of the Taliesin site, pursuant to which agreements
the Secretary may mark, interpret, restore, and provide technical
assistance for the preservation of the site, in accordance with the
comprehensive plan described in subsection (b).
(2) Each cooperative agreement shall provide that the Secretary
shall have the right of access at reasonable times to all public
portions of the property covered by the agreement, for the purpose of
conducting visitors through such properties and interpreting them to
the public.
(3) Such cooperative agreements shall provide that no changes or
alterations shall be made in the property covered by the agreement
except by mutual agreement between the Secretary and the other party to
the agreement.
(b) Comprehensive Plan.--(1) As a condition of entering into
cooperative agreements and receiving financial assistance under this
Act, the owner or operator shall prepare and adopt a comprehensive plan
for the continued preservation and public use of the Taliesin site and
submit such plan to the Secretary for approval.
(2) The plan may be amended or revised from time to time, but no
assistance, financial or otherwise, in conjunction with this Act, may
be made available by the Secretary pursuant to any cooperative
agreement unless the amendment or revision is approved by the
Secretary.
SEC. 4. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.
There are authorized to be appropriated not more than $8,000,000 to
carry out the purpose of this Act: Provided, That with respect to the
cooperative agreements authorized in subsection 3(a), the Secretary may
not provide more than one-third of the aggregate cost of implementing
those agreements. The remainder of the cost shall be borne by State and
private entities.
