Proc. 7317 Title 3--The President The establishment of this monument is subject to valid existing rights. Nothing in this proclamation shall be deemed to enlarge or diminish the jurisdiction of the State of Colorado with respect to fish and wildlife man- agement. This proclamation does not reserve water as a matter of Federal law. Noth- ing in this reservation shall be construed as a relinquishment or reduction of any water use or rights reserved or appropriated by the United States on or before the date of this proclamation. The Bureau of Land Manage- ment shall work with appropriate State authorities to ensure that any water resources needed for monument purposes are available. Nothing in this proclamation shall be deemed to enlarge or diminish the rights of any Indian tribe. Laws, regulations, and policies followed by the Bureau of Land Manage- ment in issuing and administering grazing permits or leases on all lands under its jurisdiction shall continue to apply with regard to the lands in the monument. Nothing in this proclamation shall be deemed to affect the management of Hovenweep National Monument by the National Park Service (Proclama- tion 1654 of March 2, 1923, Proclamation 2924 of May 1, 1951, and Procla- mation 2998 of November 26, 1952). Nothing in this proclamation shall be deemed to revoke any existing with- drawal, reservation, or appropriation; however, the national monument shall be the dominant reservation. Warning is hereby given to all unauthorized persons not to appropriate, in- jure, destroy, or remove any feature of this monument and not to locate or settle upon any of the lands thereof. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this ninth day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-fourth.
