        (1) by striking ``That the Secretary'' and inserting the 
    following:

``SECTION 1. WILSON'S CREEK NATIONAL BATTLEFIELD: ESTABLISHMENT AND 
              ACQUISITION OF LANDS.

    ``(a) Establishment, Initial Boundaries.--The Secretary''; and
        (2) by adding at the end the following new subsections:
    ``(b) Expansion of Boundaries.--(1) The boundaries of the Wilson's 
Creek National Battlefield are revised to include lands and interests 
therein consisting of six parcels totaling 615 acres and identified as 
parcels `1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6' on the map entitled `Wilson's Creek 
National Battlefield Proposed Boundary', numbered 410/80,037 and dated 
January 27, 2004. The map shall be on file and available for public 
inspection in the appropriate offices of the National Park Service.
    ``(2) The Secretary is authorized to acquire the lands referred to 
in paragraph (1) by donation, by purchase from willing sellers with 
donated or appropriated funds, or by exchange. The Secretary may 
acquire by the same methods personal property associated with, and 
appropriate for, interpretation of the park.
    ``(c) Access to Private Property.--Nothing in this Act shall be 
construed to--
        ``(1) require any private property owner to allow public access 
    (including Federal, State, or local government access) to such 
    private property; or
        ``(2) modify any provision of Federal, State, or local law with 
    regard to public access to or use of private property.
    ``(d) Liability.--The revision of the boundaries of the Wilson's 
Creek National Battlefield by subsection (b) shall not be considered to 
create any liability for, or to have any effect on any liability under 
any other law of, any owner of private property with respect to any 
person injured on that private property.

Service.''.
