                          findings and policy

    Sec. 2. (a) The Congress finds and declares that--
            (1) the federally owned desert lands of Southern California 
        constitute a public wildland resource of extraordinary and 
        inestimable value for this and future generations;
            (2) these desert wildlands display unique scenic, 
        historical, archeological, environmental, ecological, wildlife, 
        cultural, scientific, educational, and recreational values used 
        and enjoyed by millions of Americans for hiking and camping, 
        scientific study and scenic appreciation;
            (3) the public land resources of the California desert now 
        face and are increasingly threatened by adverse pressures which 
        would impair, dilute, and destroy their public and natural 
        values;
            (4) the California desert, embracing wilderness lands, 
        units of the National Park System, other Federal lands, State 
        parks and other State lands, and private lands, constitutes a 
        cohesive unit posing unique and difficult resource protection 
        and management challenges;
            (5) through designation of national monuments by 
        Presidential proclamation, through enactment of general public 
        land statutes (including section 601 of the Federal Land Policy 
        and Management Act of 1976, 90 Stat. 2743, 43 U.S.C. 1701 et 
        seq.) and through interim administrative actions, the Federal 
        Government has begun the process of appropriately providing for 
        protection of the significant resources of the public lands in 
        the California desert; and
            (6) statutory land unit designations are needed to afford 
        the full protection which the resources and public land values 
        of the California desert merit.
    (b) In order to secure for the American people of this and future 
generations an enduring heritage of wilderness, national parks, and 
public land values in the California desert, it is hereby declared to 
be the policy of the Congress that--
            (1) appropriate public lands in the California desert shall 
        be included within the National Park System and the National 
        Wilderness Preservation System, in order to--
                    (A) preserve unrivaled scenic, geologic, and 
                wildlife values associated with these unique natural 
                landscapes;
                    (B) perpetuate in their natural state significant 
                and diverse ecosystems of the California desert;
                    (C) protect and preserve historical and cultural 
                values of the California desert associated with ancient 
                Indian cultures, patterns of western exploration and 
                settlement, and sites exemplifying the mining, ranching 
                and railroading history of the Old West;
                    (D) provide opportunities for compatible outdoor 
                public recreation, protect and interpret ecological and 
                geological features and historic, paleontological, and 
                archeological sites, maintain wilderness resource 
                values, and promote public understanding and 
                appreciation of the California desert; and
                    (E) retain and enhance opportunities for scientific 
                research in undisturbed ecosystems.

                     TITLE I--WILDERNESS ADDITIONS

                                findings

    Sec. 101. The Congress finds and declares that--
            (1) wilderness is a distinguishing characteristic of the 
        public lands in the California desert, one which affords an 
        unrivaled opportunity for experiencing vast areas of the Old 
        West essentially unaltered by man's activities, and which 
        merits preservation for the benefit of present and future 
        generations;
            (2) the wilderness values of desert lands are increasingly 
        threatened by and especially vulnerable to impairment, 
        alteration, and destruction by activities and intrusions 
        associated with incompatible use and development; and
            (3) preservation of desert wilderness necessarily requires 
        the highest forms of protective designation and management.

                       designation of wilderness

    Sec. 102. In furtherance of the purpose of the Wilderness Act (78 
Stat. 890, 16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.), and sections 601 and 603 of the 
Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (90 Stat. 2743, 43 
U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), the following lands in the State of California, 
as generally depicted on maps referenced herein, are hereby designated 
as wilderness, and therefore, as components of the National Wilderness 
Preservation System:

        Area, of the Bureau of Land Management, which comprise 
        approximately seventy-four thousand eight hundred and ninety

        15 years after the date of enactment of this Act the Secretary 
        of the Navy notifies the Secretary of the Interior that 
        permission has been granted to use lands within the area of the 
        China Lake Naval Air Warfare Center for installation of a space 
        energy laser facility, and that establishment of a right-of-way 
        across lands within the Argus Range Wilderness is desirable in 
        order to facilitate access to the lands to be used for such 
        facility, the Secretary of the Interior, pursuant to the 
        Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, may grant a 
        right-of-way for, and authorize construction of, a road to be 
        used solely for that purpose across such lands, notwithstanding 
        the designation of such lands as wilderness. So far as

            (2) lands or interests therein within the boundary of the 
        preserve which are not owned by the State of California or any 
        political subdivision thereof may be acquired only with the 
        consent of the owner thereof unless the Secretary determines, 
        after written notice to the owner and after opportunity for 
        comment, that the property is being developed, or proposed to 
        be developed, in a manner which is detrimental to the integrity 
        of the preserve or which is otherwise incompatible with the 
        purposes of this title.

        acquired lands be made part of mojave national preserve

for each County within which any part of the preserve is located, a 
representative of the owners of private properties located within or 
immediately adjacent to the preserve, and other members representing

rules or regulations applicable solely to the Federal lands within such 
boundaries and may be used to the extent allowed by applicable law. 
Neither the location of such lands within such boundaries nor the 
possible acquisition of such lands by the United States shall 
constitute a bar to the otherwise lawful issuance of any Federal 
license or permit other than a license or permit related to activities 
governed by 16 U.S.C. 460l-22(c). Nothing in this section shall be 
construed as affecting the applicability of any provision of the Mining

States in the State of California on or before the date of enactment of 
this Act.
    (d) The Federal water rights reserved by this Act are specific to 
the wilderness areas located in the State of California designated

SEC. 801. SHORT TITLE AND FINDINGS.

    (a) Short Title.--This title may be cited as the ``California 
Military Lands Withdrawal and Overflights Act of 1994''.
    (b) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) the Federal lands within the desert regions of 
        California have provided essential opportunities for military

            (2) alternative sites for military training and other 
        military activities carried out on Federal lands in the 
        California desert area are not readily available;
            (3) while changing world conditions have lessened to some 
        extent the immediacy of military threats to the national 
        security of the United States and its allies, there remains a 
        need for military training, research, and development 
        activities of the types that have been carried out on Federal 
        lands in the California desert area; and
            (4) continuation of existing military training, research, 
        and development activities, under appropriate terms and 
        conditions, is not incompatible with the protection and proper 
        management of the natural, environmental, cultural, and other 
        resources and values of the Federal lands in the California 
        desert area.

the Secretary determines necessary or desirable to effect and maintain 
such closure.
    (2) Any such closure shall be limited to the minimum areas and

section. The Secretary of Defense shall promptly notify the Secretary 
of the Interior in the event that the lands withdrawn by this title 
will be used for defense-related purposes other than those specified in 
section 802. Such notification shall indicate the additional use or

Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate.
    (4) The Secretary of the Navy shall be responsible for the 
management of wild horses and burros located on the lands withdrawn 
under section 802(a) and may utilize helicopters and motorized vehicles 
for such purposes. Such management shall be in accordance with laws 
applicable to such management on public lands and with an appropriate 
memorandum of understanding between the Secretary of the Interior and 
the Secretary of the Navy.
    (5) Neither this Act nor any other provision of law shall be 
construed to prohibit the Secretary of the Interior from issuing and 
administering any lease for the development and utilization of 
geothermal steam and associated geothermal resources on the lands 
withdrawn under section 802(a) pursuant to the Geothermal Steam Act of 
1970 (30 U.S.C. 1001 et seq.) and other applicable law, but no such

to the extension of withdrawals of lands for military uses.
    (3) If, during the period of withdrawal and reservation, the 
Secretary of the Navy decides to relinquish all or any of the lands 
withdrawn and reserved by this title, the Secretary shall file a notice 
of intention to relinquish with the Secretary of the Interior.

determination concerning whether and to what extent the lands that are 
to be relinquished are contaminated with explosive, toxic, or other 
hazardous materials.
    (2) A copy of such determination shall be transmitted with the 
notice of intention to relinquish.
    (3) Copies of both the notice of intention to relinquish and the 
determination concerning the contaminated state of the lands shall be

sufficiently to be opened to operation of some or all of the public 
land laws, or if Congress does not appropriate a sufficient amount of 
funds for the decontamination of such land, the Secretary of the 
Interior shall not be required to accept the land proposed for 
relinquishment.
    (e) Status of Contaminated Lands.--If, because of their 
contaminated state, the Secretary of the Interior declines to accept 
jurisdiction over lands withdrawn by this title which have been 
proposed for relinquishment, or if at the expiration of the withdrawal 
made by this title the Secretary of the Interior determines that some 
of the lands withdrawn by this title are contaminated to an extent 
which prevents opening such contaminated lands to operation of the 
public land laws--
            (1) the Secretary of the Navy shall take appropriate steps 
        to warn the public of the contaminated state of such lands and 
        any risks associated with entry onto such lands;
            (2) after the expiration of the withdrawal, the Secretary 
        of the Navy shall undertake no activities on such lands except 
        in connection with decontamination of such lands; and
            (3) the Secretary of the Navy shall report to the Secretary

law, the Secretary of the Interior, upon deciding that it is in the 
public interest to accept jurisdiction over lands proposed for

            (2) constitute official acceptance of full jurisdiction 
        over the lands by the Secretary of the Interior; and

                   TITLE X--PROTECTION OF BODIE BOWL

SEC. 1001. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Bodie Protection Act of 1994''.

SEC. 1002. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) the historic Bodie gold mining district in the State of 
        California is the site of the largest and best preserved 
        authentic ghost town in the western United States;
            (2) the Bodie Bowl area contains important natural, 
        historical, and aesthetic resources;
            (3) Bodie was designated a National Historical Landmark in 
        1961 and a California State Historic Park in 1962, is listed on 
        the National Register of Historic Places, and is included in 
        the Federal Historic American Buildings Survey;
            (4) nearly 200,000 persons visit Bodie each year, providing 
        the local economy with important annual tourism revenues;
            (5) the town of Bodie is threatened by proposals to explore 
        and extract minerals: mining in the Bodie Bowl area may have 
        adverse physical and aesthetic impacts on Bodie's historical 
        integrity, cultural values, and ghosttown character as well as 
        on its recreational values and the area's flora and fauna;
            (6) the California State Legislature, on September 4, 1990, 
        requested the President and the Congress to direct the 
        Secretary of the Interior to protect the ghosttown character, 
        ambience, historic buildings, and scenic attributes of the town 
        of Bodie and nearby areas;
            (7) the California State Legislature also requested the 
        Secretary, if necessary to protect the Bodie Bowl area, to 
        withdraw the Federal lands within the area from all forms of 
        mineral entry and patent;
            (8) the National Park Service listed Bodie as a priority 
        one endangered National Historic Landmark in its fiscal year 
        1990 and 1991 report to Congress entitled ``Threatened and 
        Damaged National Historic Landmarks'' and recommended 
        protection of the Bodie area; and

        claims under the general mining laws of the United States;
            (2) subject to any lease under the Mineral Leasing Act (30 
        U.S.C. 181 and following) or the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 
        (30 U.S.C. 100 and following), for lands within the Bodie Bowl; 
        and
            (3) available for disposal of mineral materials under the 
        Act of July 31, 1947, commonly known as the Materials Act of

legal description of the Bodie Bowl area in the Federal Register.
    (b) Valid Existing Rights.--As used in this subsection, the term 
``valid existing rights'' in reference to the general mining laws means 
that a mining claim located on lands within the Bodie Bowl was properly 
located and maintained under the general mining laws prior to the date 
of enactment of this title, was supported by a discovery of a valuable

work for any period after the date of enactment of this title. The 
Secretary shall make a determination with respect to the validity of 
each claim referred to under this subsection within 2 years after the 
date of enactment of this title.
    (d) Limitation on Patent Issuance.--
            (1) Mining claims.--(A) After January 11, 1993, no patent 
        shall be issued by the United States for any mining claim 
        located under the general mining laws within the Bodie Bowl 
        unless the Secretary determines that, for the claim concerned--
                    (i) a patent application was filed with the 
                Secretary on or before such date; and

                2325 and 2326 of the Revised Statutes (30 U.S.C. 29 and 
                30) for vein or lode claims and sections 2329, 2330, 
                2331, and 2333 of the Revised Statutes (30 U.S.C. 35, 
                36, 37) for placer claims were fully complied with by 
                that date.
            (B) If the Secretary makes the determinations referred to 
        in subparagraph (A) for any mining claim, the holder of the 
        claim shall be entitled to the issuance of a patent in the same 
        manner and degree to which such claim holder would have been

        Secretary or by a court of the United States.
            (2) Mill site claims.--(A) After January 11, 1993, no

        concerned--
                    (i) a patent application was filed with the 
                Secretary on or before January 11, 1993; and
                    (ii) all requirements applicable to such patent 
                application were fully complied with by that date.
            (B) If the Secretary makes the determinations referred to 
        in subparagraph (A) for any mill site claim, the holder of the 
        claim shall be entitled to the issuance of a patent in the same 
        manner and degree to which such claim holder would have been

        Secretary or by a court of the United States.

SEC. 1005. MINERAL ACTIVITIES.

    (a) In General.--Notwithstanding the last sentence of section 
302(b) of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, and in 
accordance with this title and other applicable law, the Secretary 
shall require that mineral activities be conducted in the Bodie Bowl so 
as to--
            (1) avoid adverse effects on the historic, cultural, 
        recreational and natural resource values of the Bodie Bowl; and
            (2) minimize other adverse impacts to the environment.
    (b) Restoration of Effects of Mining Exploration.--As soon as 
possible after the date of enactment of this title, visible evidence or 
other effects of mining exploration activity within the Bodie Bowl 
conducted on or after September 1, 1988, shall be reclaimed by the 
operator in accordance with regulations prescribed pursuant to 
subsection (d).
    (c) Annual Expenditures; Filing.--The requirements for annual 
expenditures on unpatented mining claims imposed by Revised Statute 
2324 (30 U.S.C. 28) shall not apply to any such claim located within 
the Bodie Bowl. In lieu of filing the affidavit of assessment work 
referred to under section 314(a)(1) of the Federal Land Policy and 
Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1744(a)(1)), the holder of any 
unpatented mining or mill site claim located within the Bodie Bowl 
shall only be required to file the notice of intention to hold the 
mining claim referred to in such section 314(a)(1).
    (d) Regulations.--The Secretary shall promulgate rules to implement 
this section, in consultation with the Governor of the State of 
California, within 180 days after the date of enactment of this title. 
Such rules shall be no less stringent than the rules promulgated 
pursuant to the Act of September 28, 1976 entitled ``An Act to provide 
for the regulation of mining activity within, and to repeal the 
application of mining laws to, areas of the National Park System, and 
for other purposes'' (Public Law 94-429; 16 U.S.C. 1901-1912).

SEC. 1006. STUDY.

    Beginning as soon as possible after the date of enactment of this 
title, the Secretary of the Interior shall review possible actions to 
preserve the scenic character, historical integrity, cultural and 
recreational values, flora and fauna, and ghost town characteristics of 
lands and structures within the Bodie Bowl. No later than 3 years after 
the date of such enactment, the Secretary shall submit to the Committee 
on Natural Resources of the United States House of Representatives and 
the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the United States 
Senate a report that discusses the results of such review and makes 
recommendations as to which steps (including but not limited to 
acquisition of lands or valid mining claims) should be undertaken in 
order to achieve these objectives.
            Amend the title so as to read: ``An Act to designate 
        certain lands in the California Desert as wilderness, to 
        establish the Death Valley and Joshua Tree National Parks and 
        the Mojave National Monument, and for other purposes.''.
