Congress finds that--
(1) the publicly-owned land and rivers of the State of
California are a wildland resource of extraordinary value for
current and future generations;
(2) increasing pressure from the rapidly growing population
of California threatens to irrevocably harm remaining
wilderness areas and wild rivers;
(3) statutory protection is needed for the areas and rivers
to ensure that the areas and rivers remain a part of the
natural heritage of the United States and continue to be a
source of solitude and inspiration for all people of the United
States;
(4) continuation of military activities (including
overflights, military rotary wing environmental training,
military maneuvers, testing and evaluation, and other
activities) is compatible with the protection and proper
management of the wilderness and wild and scenic river
resources designated by this Act;
(5) wildfire management activities necessary to protect
public health and safety and private property are fully
allowable in wilderness areas, and the Secretary concerned must
be able to take any measures determined necessary to control or
prevent fires; and
(6) land and rivers are designated as part of the National
Wilderness Preservation System and the National Wild and Scenic
Rivers System by this Act in order to--
(A) preserve the unique wild and natural features
of the land and rivers;
(B) protect a diverse array of ecosystems, plants,
animals, geologic structures, and hydrologic features
that represent the natural splendor of California;
(C) protect and preserve historical and cultural
archaeological sites associated with ancient Indian
cultures and the settlement of California;
(D) protect and preserve areas that continue to be
used by Indian tribes for spiritual, cultural, or
subsistence practices;
(E) protect watersheds, including watersheds that
play an essential role in providing municipal and
agricultural water and power supplies;
(F) provide opportunities for compatible outdoor
recreation, including horseback riding on saddle and
other pack stock, hunting and fishing, hiking and
camping, whitewater rafting, trail running, and
excursions led by commercial outfitters;
(G) retain and enhance opportunities for scientific
research in pristine ecosystems; and
(H) promote the recovery of threatened and
endangered species, including salmon and steelhead.

those Indian tribes have suffered as a result of the decline in
salmon and steelhead runs throughout the State;
(4) habitat protection is an essential component in the
recovery of endangered salmon and steelhead to sustainable,
harvestable levels; and
(5) certain pristine areas in the State warrant special
protection because the areas offer vital, irreplaceable habitat
for salmon and steelhead.

determine the suitability of the Areas for designation as
wilderness.

the Areas for wilderness, the Areas shall be managed to promote
the restoration of self-sustaining salmon and steelhead
populations.
(3) Report.--Not later than 3 years after the date of
enactment of this Act, the Secretary concerned shall submit to
the President, and the President shall submit to Congress, a
report describing the results of the review conducted under
paragraph (1).
(4) Administration.--Subject to valid existing rights, the
Salmon Restoration Areas designated by this section shall be
administered by the Secretary concerned so as to maintain the
wilderness character of the Areas in existence on the date of
enactment of this Act and potential for inclusion in the
