        Grove Ranger District with a new Timpanogos Cave National

            (2) to direct the Secretary of the Interior to construct an 
        administrative and visitor facility on the non-Federal land 
        acquired by the Secretary of Agriculture; and
            (3) to direct the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary
