SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) the testing and development of military weapons systems 
        and the training of military forces are critical to ensuring 
        the national security of the United States;
            (2) the Utah Test and Training Range is a unique and 
        irreplaceable national asset at the core of the test and

        that comprise the Utah Test and Training Range, under the terms

        priority;
            (4) multiple use of, sustained yield activities on, and 
        access to the BLM land are vital to the customs, culture, 
        economy, ranching, grazing, and transportation interests of the 
        counties in which the BLM land is situated; and
            (5) the limited use by the military of the BLM land and
