  CALIFORNIA DESERT PROTECTION ACT OF 1993; CALIFORNIA MILITARY LANDS 
                 WITHDRAWAL AND OVERFLIGHTS ACT OF 1991

  Mr. MITCHELL. Mr. President, I ask that the Chair lay before the 
Senate a message from the House of Representatives on a bill (S. 21) to 
designate certain lands in the California desert as wilderness, to 
establish Death Valley, Joshua Tree, and Mojave National Parks, and for 
other purposes.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER laid before the Senate the following message 
from the House of Representatives:

       Resolved, That the bill from the Senate (S. 21) entitled 
     ``An Act to designate certain lands in the California Desert 
     as wilderness, to establish Death Valley, Joshua Tree, and 
     Mojave National Parks, and for other purposes'', do pass with 
     the following amendments:
  Strike out all after the enacting clause, and insert:
     That this Act may be cited as the ``California Desert 
     Protection Act of 1994''.


                          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

     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

     respect to which such permit was issued and to which such 
     permittee holds title, the Secretary shall make the 
     acquisition of such base property a priority as compared with 
     the acquisition of other lands within the preserve, provided 
     agreement can be reached concerning the terms and conditions 
     of such acquisition. Any such base property which is located 
     outside the preserve and acquired as a priority pursuant to

            TITLE VIII--CALIFORNIA MILITARY LANDS WITHDRAWAL

     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 
     training, research, and development for the Armed Forces of 
     the United States and allied nations;
       (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.

     SEC. 804. MANAGEMENT OF WITHDRAWN LANDS.

       (a) Management by the Secretary of the Interior.--(1) 
     Except as provided in subsection (g), during the period of 
     the withdrawal the Secretary of the Interior shall manage the 
     lands withdrawn under section 802 pursuant to the Federal 
     Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et 
     seq.) and other applicable law, including this Act.
       (2) To the extent consistent with applicable law and 
     Executive orders, the lands withdrawn under section 802 may 
     be managed in a manner permitting--
       (A) the continuation of grazing pursuant to applicable law 
     and Executive orders where permitted on the date of enactment 
     of this title;
       (B) protection of wildlife and wildlife habitat;
       (C) control of predatory and other animals;
       (D) recreation (but only on lands withdrawn by section 
     802(a) (relating to China Lake));
       (E) the prevention and appropriate suppression of brush and 
     range fires resulting from nonmilitary activities; and
       (F) geothermal leasing and development and related power 
     production activities on the lands withdrawn under section 
     802(a) (relating to China Lake).
       (3)(A) All nonmilitary use of such lands, including the 
     uses described in paragraph (2), shall be subject to such 
     conditions and restrictions as may be necessary to permit the 
     military use of such lands for the purposes specified in or 
     authorized pursuant to this title.
       (B) The Secretary of the Interior may issue any lease, 
     easement, right-of-way, or other authorization with respect 
     to the nonmilitary use of such lands only with the 
     concurrence of the Secretary of the Navy.
       (b) Closure to Public.--(1) If the Secretary of the Navy 
     determines that military operations, public safety, or 
     national security require the closure to public use of any 
     road, trail, or other portion of the lands withdrawn by this 
     title, the Secretary may take such action as the Secretary 
     determines necessary or desirable to effect and maintain such 
     closure.
       (2) Any such closure shall be limited to the minimum areas 
     and periods which the Secretary of the Navy determines are 
     required to carry out this subsection.
       (3) Before and during any closure under this subsection, 
     the Secretary of the Navy shall--
       (A) keep appropriate warning notices posted; and
       (B) take appropriate steps to notify the public concerning

     subsection (a)(3);
       (3) include such provisions as may be necessary for proper 
     management and protection of the resources and values of such 
     area; and

     of enactment of this title.
       (d) Brush and Range Fires.--The Secretary of the Navy shall 
     take necessary precautions to prevent and suppress brush and 
     range fires occurring within and outside the lands withdrawn 
     under section 802 as a result of military activities and may 
     seek assistance from the Bureau of Land Management in the 
     suppression of such fires. The memorandum of understanding 
     required by subsection (e) shall provide for Bureau of Land 
     Management assistance in the suppression of such fires, and 
     for a transfer of funds from the Department of the Navy to 
     the Bureau of Land Management as compensation for such 
     assistance.
       (e) Memorandum of Understanding.--(1) The Secretary of the

       (f) Additional Military Uses.--(1) Lands withdrawn by 
     section 802 may be used for defense-related uses other than 
     those specified in such 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 uses involved, the proposed duration of such uses, and 
     the extent to which such additional military uses of the 
     withdrawn lands will require that additional or more 
     stringent conditions or restrictions be imposed on otherwise-
     permitted nonmilitary uses of the withdrawn land or portions 
     thereof.
       (g) Management of China Lake.--(1) The Secretary of the 
     Interior may assign the management responsibility for the 
     lands withdrawn under section 802(a) to the Secretary of the 
     Navy who shall manage such lands, and issue leases, 
     easements, rights-of-way, and other authorizations, in 
     accordance with this title and cooperative management 
     arrangements between the Secretary of the Interior and the 
     Secretary of the Navy. In the case that the Secretary of the 
     Interior assigns such management responsibility to the 
     Secretary of the Navy before the development of the 
     management plan under subsection (c), the Secretary of the 
     Navy (after consultation with the Secretary of the Interior) 
     shall develop such management plan. Nothing in this title 
     shall affect geothermal leases issued by the Secretary of the 
     Interior prior to the date of enactment of this title or the 
     responsibility of the Secretary to administer and manage such 
     leases consistent with the provisions of this title.
       (2) The Secretary of the Interior shall be responsible for 
     the issuance of any lease, easement, right-of-way, and other 
     authorization with respect to any activity which involves 
     both the lands withdrawn under section 802(a) and any other 
     lands. Any such authorization shall be issued only with the 
     consent of the Secretary of the Navy and, to the extent that 
     such activity involves lands withdrawn under section 802(a), 
     shall be subject to such conditions as the Secretary of the 
     Navy may prescribe.
       (3) The Secretary of the Navy shall prepare and submit to 
     the Secretary of the Interior an annual report on the status 
     of the natural and cultural resources and values of the lands 
     withdrawn under section 802(a). The Secretary of the Interior 
     shall transmit such report to the Committee on Natural 
     Resources of the House of Representatives and the 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 lease shall be 
     issued without the concurrence of the Secretary of the Navy.
       (6) This title shall not affect the geothermal exploration 
     and development authority of the Secretary of the Navy under 
     section 2689 of title 10, United States Code, except that the 
     Secretary of the Navy shall obtain the concurrence of the 
     Secretary of the Interior before taking action under that 
     section with respect to the lands withdrawn under section 
     802(a).
       (7) Upon the expiration of the withdrawal made by 
     subsection (a) of section 802 or relinquishment of the lands 
     withdrawn by that subsection, Navy contracts for the 
     development of geothermal resources at China Lake then in 
     effect (including amendments or renewals by the Navy after 
     the date of enactment of this Act) shall remain in effect: 
     Provided, That the Secretary of the Interior, with the 
     consent of the Secretary of the Navy, may offer to substitute 
     a standard geothermal lease for any such contract.
       (h) Management of El Centro Ranges.--To the extent 
     consistent with this title, the lands and minerals within the 
     areas described in section 802(c) shall be managed in 
     accordance with the Cooperative Agreement entered into 
     between the Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, 
     and the Department of the Navy, dated June 29, 1987.

     SEC. 805. DURATION OF WITHDRAWALS.

     years after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary 
     of the Navy shall publish a draft environmental impact 
     statement concerning continued or renewed withdrawal of any 
     portion of the lands withdrawn by this title for which that 
     Secretary intends to seek such continued or renewed 
     withdrawal. Such draft environmental impact statement shall 
     be consistent with the requirements of the National 
     Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) 
     applicable to such a draft environmental impact statement. 
     Prior to the termination date specified in subsection (a), 
     the Secretary of the Navy shall hold a public hearing on any 
     draft environmental impact statement published pursuant to 
     this subsection. Such hearing shall be held in the State of 
     California in order to receive public comments on the 
     alternatives and other matters included in such draft 
     environmental impact statement.
       (c) Extensions or Renewals.--The withdrawals established by

     made by this title, the Secretary of the Navy, to the extent 
     funds are made available, shall maintain a program of 
     decontamination of lands withdrawn by this title at least at 
     the level of decontamination activities performed on such 
     lands in fiscal year 1986.
       (b) Reports.--At the same time as the President transmits 
     to the Congress the President's proposed budget for the first

     Navy shall transmit to the Committees on Appropriations, 
     Armed Services, and Energy and Natural Resources of the 
     Senate and to the Committees on Appropriations, Armed 
     Services, and Natural Resources of the House of 
     Representatives a description of the decontamination efforts 
     undertaken during the previous fiscal year on such lands and 
     the decontamination activities proposed for such lands during 
     the next fiscal year including:
       (1) amounts appropriated and obligated or expended for 
     decontamination of such lands;
       (2) the methods used to decontaminate such lands;
       (3) amount and types of contaminants removed from such 
     lands;
       (4) estimated types and amounts of residual contamination 
     on such lands; and
       (5) an estimate of the costs for full decontamination of 
     such lands and the estimate of the time to complete such 
     decontamination.

     SEC. 807. REQUIREMENTS FOR RENEWAL.

       (a) Notice and Filing.--(1) No later than three years prior 
     to the termination of the withdrawal and reservation 
     established by this title, the Secretary of the Navy shall 
     advise the Secretary of the Interior as to whether or not the 
     Secretary of the Navy will have a continuing military need 
     for any of the lands withdrawn under section 802 after the 
     termination date of such withdrawal and reservation.
       (2) If the Secretary of the Navy concludes that there will 
     be a continuing military need for any of such lands after the 
     termination date, the Secretary shall file an application for 
     extension of the withdrawal and reservation of such needed 
     lands in accordance with the regulations and procedures of 
     the Department of the Interior applicable 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.
       (b) Contamination.--(1) Before transmitting a notice of 
     intention to relinquish pursuant to subsection (a), the 
     Secretary of Defense, acting through the Department of Navy, 
     shall prepare a written 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 published in the Federal Register by the 
     Secretary of the Interior.
       (c) Decontamination.--If any land which is the subject of a 
     notice of intention to relinquish pursuant to subsection (a) 
     is contaminated, and the Secretary of the Interior, in 
     consultation with the Secretary of the Navy, determines that 
     decontamination is practicable and economically feasible 
     (taking into consideration the potential future use and value 
     of the land) and that upon decontamination, the land could be 
     opened to operation of some or all of the public land laws, 
     including the mining laws, the Secretary of the Navy shall 
     decontaminate the land to the extent that funds are 
     appropriated for such purpose.
       (d) Alternatives.--If the Secretary of the Interior, after 
     consultation with the Secretary of the Navy, concludes that 
     decontamination of any land which is the subject of a notice 
     of intention to relinquish pursuant to subsection (a) is not 
     practicable or economically feasible, or that the land cannot 
     be decontaminated 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 
     of the Interior and to the Congress concerning the status of 
     such lands and all actions taken in furtherance of this 
     subsection.
       (f) Revocation Authority.--Notwithstanding any other 
     provision of law, the Secretary of the Interior, upon 
     deciding that it is in the public interest to accept 
     jurisdiction over lands proposed for relinquishment pursuant 
     to subsection (a), is authorized to revoke the withdrawal and 
     reservation established by this title as it applies to such 
     lands. Should the decision be made to revoke the withdrawal 
     and reservation, the Secretary of the Interior shall publish 
     in the Federal Register an appropriate order which shall--
       (1) terminate the withdrawal and reservation;
       (2) constitute official acceptance of full jurisdiction 
     over the lands by the Secretary of the Interior; and
       (3) state the date upon which the lands will be opened to 
     the operation of some or all of the public lands laws, 
     including the mining laws.

                   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
       (9) it is necessary and appropriate to provide that all 
     Federal lands within the Bodie Bowl area are not subject to 
     location, entry, and patent under the mining laws of the 
     United States, subject to valid existing rights, and to 
     direct the Secretary to consult with the Governor of the 
     State of California before approving any mining activity plan 
     within the Bodie Bowl.

     SEC. 1003. DEFINITIONS.

       For purposes of this title:
       (1) The term ``Bodie Bowl'' means the Federal lands and 
     interests in lands within the area generally depicted on the 
     map referred to in section 1004(a).

     SEC. 1004. APPLICABILITY OF MINERAL MINING, LEASING AND 
                   DISPOSAL LAWS.

       (a) Restriction.--Subject to valid existing rights, after 
     the date of enactment of this title Federal lands and 
     interests in lands within the area generally depicted on the 
     map entitled ``Bodie Bowl'' and dated June 12, 1992, shall 
     not be--
       (1) open to the entry or location of mining and mill site 
     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 
     1947 (30 U.S.C. 601 and following).

     Such map shall be on file and available for public inspection 
     in the Office of the Secretary, and appropriate offices of 
     the Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service. 
     As soon as practicable after the date of enactment of this 
     title, the Secretary shall publish a 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 mineral 
     deposit within the meaning of the general mining laws on the 
     date of enactment of this title, and that such claim 
     continues to be valid.
       (c) Validity Review.--The Secretary shall undertake an 
     expedited program to determine the validity of all unpatented 
     mining claims located within the Bodie Bowl. The expedited 
     program shall include an examination of all unpatented mining 
     claims, including those for which a patent application has 
     not been filed. If a claim is determined to be invalid, the 
     Secretary shall promptly declare the claim to be null and 
     void, except that the Secretary shall not challenge the 
     validity of any claim located within the Bodie Bowl for the 
     failure to do assessment 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
       (ii) all requirements established under sections 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 entitled to prior to the enactment of this title, unless 
     and until such determinations are withdrawn or invalidated by 
     the Secretary or by a court of the United States.
       (2) Mill site claims.--(A) After January 11, 1993, no 
     patent shall be issued by the United States for any mill site 
     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 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 entitled to prior to the enactment of this title, 
     unless and until such determinations are withdrawn or 
     invalidated by the 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.''.
