(Public Law 103-77) is amended by adding the following new paragraph at 
the end of subsection (a):
            ``(20) Certain lands in the San Isabel National Forest 
        which comprise approximately 18,000 acres, as generally 
        depicted on a map entitled `Proposed Spanish Peaks Wilderness', 
        dated May 1997, and which shall be known as the Spanish Peaks 
        Wilderness.''.

enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Agriculture shall file a map

Wilderness by paragraph (20) of subsection 2(a) of the Colorado 
Wilderness Act of 1993, as amended by this Act, with the Committee on 
Resources of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Energy 
and Natural Resources of the Senate. Such map and boundary description 
shall have the same force and effect as if included in the Colorado 
Wilderness Act of 1993, except that if the Secretary is authorized to 
correct clerical and typographical errors in such boundary description 
and map. Such map and boundary description shall be on file and 
available for public inspection in the Office of the Chief of the
