Any lands acquired for relocation of tribal members shall be held in trust by the United States for the benefit of the tribe.

Such survey shall be included within a report which shall make recommendations on the program needs of tribes under this Act, with particular empheisis on how tribal participation in the administration of such programs can be maximized. Such report shall be submitted to Congress along with the President's budget request for fiscal year 1988.
