SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

(1) Tumacacori Mission in southern Arizona was declared a
National Monument in 1908 in recognition of its great
historical significance as ``one of the oldest mission ruins in
the southwest''.
(2) In establishing Tumacacori National Historical Park in
1990 to include the Tumacacori Mission and the ruins of the
mission of Los Santos Angeles de Guevavi and the Kino visita
and rancheria of Calabazas, Congress recognized the importance
of these sites ``to protect and interpret, for the education
and benefit of the public, sites in the State of Arizona
associated with the early Spanish missionaries and explorers of
the 17th and 18th centuries''.
(3) Tumacacori National Historical Park plays a major role
in interpreting the Spanish colonial heritage of the United
States.
(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
(1) to protect and interpret the resources associated with
the Tumacacori Mission by revising the boundary of Tumacacori
National Historical Park to include approximately 310 acres of
land adjacent to the park; and
(2) to enhance the visitor experience at Tumacacori by
developing access to these associated mission resources.
