Provides that 45 percent of all monies received during any fiscal year from such lands shall be paid to the State of Washington and 45 percent shall be deposited into an account established by the Secretary of the Interior for the Quinault Indians.

Directs the Secretary of the Interior to establish a separate account for timber receipts from the lands. Provides that these funds can be used by the Quinault Nation only for paying costs incurred in preparing and administering timber sales, mitigating adverse environmental impacts from timber harvest activities, reforesting timber lands, and to purchase land that is within reservation boundaries.
Provides that the Forest timber receipts of adjacent counties shall not be affected. Continues to recognize any valid rights-of-way, leases, or permits which may exist in the lands. Provides that existing property rights within the exterior boundaries of the reservation shall not be affected.
