Proc. 7265 Title 3--The President shall be confined to the smallest area compatible with the proper care and management of the objects to be protected. WHEREAS it appears that it would be in the public interest to reserve such lands as a national monument to be known as the Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument: NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by section 2 of the Act of June 8, 1906 (34 Stat. 225, 16 U.S.C. 43\177), do proclaim that there are hereby set apart and reserved as the Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument, for the purpose of protecting the objects identified above, all lands and interests in lands owned or controlled by the United States with- in the boundaries of the area described on the map entitled "Grand Can- yon-Parashant National Monument" attached to and forming a part of this proclamation. The Federal land and interests in land reserved consist of ap- proximately %0\1774,000 acres, which is the smallest area compatible with the proper care and management of the objects to be protected. For the purpose of protecting the objects identified above, all motorized and mechanized vehicle use off road will be prohibited, except for emer- gency or authorized administrative purposes. Nothing in this proclamation shall be deemed to enlarge or diminish the jurisdiction of the State of Arizona with respect to fish and wildlife man- agement. The establishment of this monument is subject to valid existing rights. All Federal lands and interests in lands within the boundaries of this monument are hereby appropriated and withdrawn from all forms of entry, location, selection, sale, or leasing or other disposition under the public land laws, including but not limited to withdrawal from location, entry, and patent under the mining laws, and from disposition under all laws re- lating to mineral and geothermal leasing, other than by exchange that fur- thers the protective purposes of the monument. Sale of vegetative material is permitted only if part of an authorized science-based ecological restora- tion project. Lands and interests in lands within the proposed monument not owned by the United States shall be reserved as a part of the monu- ment upon acquisition of title thereto by the United States. This proclamation does not reserve water as a matter of Federal law nor relinquish any water rights held by the Federal Government existing on this date. The Federal land managing agencies shall work with appropriate State authorities to ensure that water resources needed for monument pur- poses are available. The Secretary of the Interior shall manage the monument through the Bu- reau of Land Management and the National Park Service, pursuant to appli- cable legal authorities, to implement the purposes of this proclamation. The National Park Service and the Bureau of Land Management shall manage the monument cooperatively and shall prepare an agreement to share, con- sistent with applicable laws, whatever resources are necessary to properly manage the monument; however, the National Park Service shall continue to have primary management authority over the portion of the monument within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, and the Bureau of Land Management shall have primary management authority over the remaining portion of the monument. l0
