Sec. 640d-2. Implementation of agreements


(a) Full agreement

    If, within one hundred and eighty days after the first session 
scheduled by the Mediator under section 640d-1(c) of this title, full 
agreement is reached, such agreement shall be put in such form as the 
Mediator determines best expresses the intent of the tribes and shall 
then be submitted to the Secretary and the Attorney General of the 
United States for their comments as they relate to the interest of the 
United States in the proceedings. These comments are to be submitted to 
the Mediator and the negotiating teams within thirty days. The 
negotiating teams and the Mediator shall then consider the comments and, 
if agreement can still be reached on terms acceptable to the negotiating 
teams and the Mediator within sixty days of receipt by him of the 
comments, the agreement shall be put in final written form and shall be 
signed by the members of the negotiating teams and the Mediator. The 
Mediator shall then cause the agreement to be entered into the records 
of the supplemental proceedings in the Healing case. The provisions of 
the agreement shall be reviewed by the District Court, modified where 
necessary, and put into effect immediately thereafter.

(b) Partial agreement

    If, within the one hundred and eighty day period referred to in 
subsection (a) of this section, a partial agreement has been reached 
between the tribes and they wish such partial agreement to go into 
effect, they shall follow the procedure set forth in subsection (a) of 
this section. The partial agreement shall then be considered by the 
Mediator in preparing his report, and the District Court in making a 
final adjudication, pursuant to section 640d-3 of this title.

(c) Consistency with existing law

    For the purpose of this section, the negotiating teams may make any 
provision in the agreement or partial agreement not inconsistent with 
existing law. No such agreement or any provision in it shall result in a 
taking by the United States of private property compensable under the 
Fifth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.
