Ok, I couldn't get into the 2003 FY Budget for some reason but found it in the discussion archive. This is what it said.

Secretary of the Air Force shall notify the congressional defense
committees 30 days prior to obligation of all of the specific sources of
funds to be used for such purpose.]
[Sec. 8128. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Southern Nevada
Public Land Management Act of 1998, Public Law 105-263, or the land use
planning provision of section 202 of the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act of 1976, Public Law 94-579, or of any other law to the
contrary, the Secretary of the Interior may acquire non-Federal lands
adjacent to Nellis Air Force Base, through a land exchange in Nevada, to
ensure the continued safe operation of live ordnance departure areas at
Nellis Air Force Base, Las Vegas, Nevada. The Secretary of the Air Force
shall identify up to 220 acres of non-Federal lands needed to ensure the
continued safe operation of the live ordnance departure areas at Nellis
Air Force Base. Any such identified property acquired by exchange by the
Secretary of the Interior shall be transferred by the Secretary of the
Interior to the jurisdiction, custody, and control of the Secretary of
the Air Force to be managed as a part of Nellis Air Force Base. To the
extent the Secretary of the Interior is unable to acquire non-Federal
lands by exchange, the Secretary of the Air Force is authorized to
purchase those lands at fair market value subject to available
appropriations.]
