    In addition to any other remedy available under existing law, upon

with the terms of such agreement, or upon failure of any purchaser of 
timber or other forest products from such land to comply with the terms 
and conditions required by such agreement to be included in the contract 
of sale, the Attorney General, at the request of the Secretary 
concerned, is authorized to institute against such owner or such 
purchaser a proceeding in equity in the proper district court of the 
United States, to require compliance with the terms and conditions of 
said cooperative agreement; and jurisdiction is conferred upon said 
district courts to hear and determine such proceedings, to order 
compliance with the terms and conditions of cooperative agreements 
entered into pursuant to this subchapter, and to make such temporary and 
final orders as shall be deemed just in the premises. As used in this 
section the term ``owner'' shall include the heirs, successors, and 
assigns of the landowner entering into the cooperative agreements.
