                         TITLE 16--CONSERVATION
 
   CHAPTER 1--NATIONAL PARKS, MILITARY PARKS, MONUMENTS, AND SEASHORES
 
                  SUBCHAPTER XXXV--WOLF TRAP FARM PARK
 
Sec. 284d. Cooperative agreement with Foundation for 
        presentation of programs
        

(a) Terms and conditions for Federal assistance

    The Secretary is authorized and directed to enter into a cooperative 
agreement with the Foundation respecting the presentation of performing 
arts and related educational and cultural programs at the Center, and in 
such other areas of the park as may be agreed to. The Secretary may 
provide technical and financial assistance under such a cooperative 
agreement for such purposes, pursuant to such terms and conditions as he 
deems appropriate.

(b) Prerequisite conditions

    As a condition of entering into a cooperative agreement under this 
section, the Secretary shall require that--
        (1) the Foundation maintain the insurance described in section 
    284c(c)(3) of this title; and
        (2) the Foundation maintain its status as an organization 
    described in section 501(c)(3) of title 26 and exempt from taxation 
    under section 501(a) of title 26.

(c) Required terms and conditions; contractual authority for 
        administration through nonconflicting agreement with other 
        organization or entity

    A cooperative agreement under this section shall provide that--
        (1) the Secretary and the Comptroller General of the United 
    States or their duly authorized representatives shall have access to 
    any pertinent books, documents, papers, and records of the 
    Foundation to make audits, examinations, excerpts, and transcripts;
        (2) the Foundation shall prepare an annual report to the 
    Secretary, which shall also be submitted to the appropriate 
    committees of the United States House of Representatives and the 
    United States Senate, summarizing the activities of the previous 
    year (together with a comparison of goals and objectives with actual 
    accomplishments) and presenting a plan for the forthcoming year;
        (3) such cooperative agreement may be terminated at the 
    convenience of the United States if the Secretary determines that 
    such termination is required in the public interest; and
        (4) the Foundation will maintain accounts for Foundation 
    activities outside of the Park separate from Foundation accounts for 
    presentation of performing arts and related programs presented at 
    the Center and other areas of the Park.

The cooperative agreement shall contain such other terms and conditions 
as the Secretary deems appropriate. Until such cooperative agreement is 
entered into, nothing in this section shall be construed to affect or 
impair the validity of the agreement between the National Park Service 
and the Foundation dated September 16, 1980. Such agreement shall remain 
in force and effect until terminated under the terms and conditions of 
such agreement or until an agreement is entered into under this section. 
Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect the authority of 
the Secretary under any other provision of law to enter into a contract 
or an agreement, not conflicting with the cooperative agreement 
described in this section, with any other organization or entity with 
respect to the administration of the park.
