The Secretary of the Army is directed to accomplish channel rehabilitation, repair and rehabilitation of fourteen pump stations and appurtenant works and rehabilitation and replacement of bridge structures in the vicinity of the East Side Levee and Sanitary District in East St. Louis, Illinois, by making available $1,000,000 in fiscal year 1988. The Secretary of the Army, because of the Federal trust relationship that links the United States and Indian people, is directed to expend within available funds not to exceed $50,000 to plan and not to exceed $700,000 to design and engineer appropriate works to alleviate high ground water problems on agricultural lands owned by Cochiti Pueblo, New Mexico, directly downriver from Cochiti Dam: Provided, however, That no such funds shall be expended by the Secretary for design and engineering until the Secretary and the Tribal council of the Pueblo have agreed in writing to a plan of design that, in the judgment of both parties, will resolve the problems related to such high ground water: And, Provided, That the Secretary and the Tribal Council of the Pueblo shall continue to negotiate, and, if the parties so agree, the Secretary shall submit to Congress, if appropriate, a proposed settlement that would be in lieu of, or in addition to, any construction of works for the purposes of alleviating high ground water problems. For the purposes of this negotiation only, the provisions of section 3 of the Act of May 15, 1928 (45 Stat. 535, ch. 569; 33 U.S.C. 702c) and sections 2401(a), 2401(b), and 2680(a) of title 28, United States Code, are waived. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prejudice the rights, responsibilities, and defense of either party in any litigation between the Pueblo and the United States, nor commit the Secretary of the Army to a structural solution of the controversy.
