The secretary of corrections is hereby authorized to execute a document, to be approved by the attorney general, requesting the corps of engineers of the United States army to repair damage to the levee at the Lansing correctional facility designated as No. 83B, located along the right bank of the Missouri river in section 16 and 17, township 9 south, range 23 east, Leavenworth county, Kansas, which was damaged from high waters during 1973, resulting in breaks in such levees. Such request shall be made in accordance with 33 U.S.C.A. 701 (N) (PL 85-99, 1955). The request authorized by this act may provide that the state of Kansas agrees to reimburse the United States for any payment made by the United States to third parties as a result of finding of liability by a court of competent jurisdiction, or as a result of settlement, arising out of the repair work requested, except that no reimbursement shall be made to the extent that the liability arises from the sole fault of the United States.
