    Seneca Nation; and
        (2) nothing in this subchapter shall be construed to prevent the 
    lessees from collectively negotiating with the Seneca Nation 
    regarding such leases, whether through informal groups or as 
    delegations formally sanctioned by either the State or local 
    governments.

(c) United States

    (1) The United States shall not serve in a capacity to approve 
leases of the Seneca Nation.
    (2) Federal funds may not be obligated or expended, directly or 
indirectly, for annual payments under any such lease, except for funds 
that may be available under a conventional, nationwide program.

    (1) The State shall not serve in a capacity to approve leases of the 
Seneca Nation.
    (2) State funds may not be obligated or expended, directly or
