SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    Sections 1 and 2, and titles I through IX of this Act may be cited 
as the ``California Desert Protection Act of 1994''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND POLICY.

    (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--DESIGNATION OF WILDERNESS AREAS TO BE ADMINISTERED BY THE 
                       BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT

SEC. 101. FINDINGS.

    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.

SEC. 102. DESIGNATION OF WILDERNESS.

    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

    enactment of this Act the Secretary of the Navy notifies the 
    Secretary 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

                   TITLE V--MOJAVE NATIONAL PRESERVE

SEC. 501. FINDINGS.

    The Congress hereby finds that--
        (1) Death Valley and Joshua Tree National Parks, as established 
    by this Act, protect unique and superlative desert resources, but 
    do not embrace the particular ecosystems and transitional desert 
    type found in the Mojave Desert area lying between them on public 
    lands now afforded only impermanent administrative designation as a 
    national scenic area;
        (2) the Mojave Desert area possesses outstanding natural, 
    cultural, historical, and recreational values meriting statutory 
    designation and recognition as a unit of the National Park System;
        (3) the Mojave Desert area should be afforded full recognition 
    and statutory protection as a national preserve;
        (4) the wilderness within the Mojave Desert should receive 
    maximum statutory protection by designation pursuant to the 
    Wilderness Act; and
        (5) the Mojave Desert area provides an outstanding opportunity 
    to develop services, programs, accommodations and facilities to 
    ensure the use and enjoyment of the area by individuals with 
    disabilities, consistent with section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act 
    of 1973, Public Law 101-336, the Americans With Disabilities Act of 
    1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101), and other appropriate laws and regulations.

SEC. 502. ESTABLISHMENT OF THE MOJAVE NATIONAL PRESERVE.

    There is hereby established the Mojave National Preserve, 
comprising approximately one million four hundred nineteen thousand 
eight hundred acres, as generally depicted on a map entitled ``Mojave 
National Park Boundary--Proposed'', dated May 17, 1994, which shall be 
on file and available for inspection in the appropriate offices of the 
Director of the National Park Service, Department of the Interior.

SEC. 503. TRANSFER OF LANDS.

    Upon enactment of this title, the Secretary shall transfer the

    (a) The Secretary shall not approve any plan of operation prior to 
determining the validity of the unpatented mining claims, mill sites, 
and tunnel sites affected by such plan within the preserve and shall 
submit to Congress recommendations as to whether any valid or patented 
claims should be acquired by the United States, including the estimated 
acquisition costs of such claims, and a discussion of the environmental 
consequences of the extraction of minerals from these lands.
    (b)(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary

have been valid as of such date under the mining laws of the United 
States in effect on such date.
    (3) If the Secretary, pursuant to paragraph (2), makes an 
affirmative determination concerning the claims specified in paragraph 
(1), the holder or holders of such claims shall be permitted to 
continue to operate such claims subject only to such regulations as 
applied on July 1, 1994 to the exercise of valid existing rights on 
patented mining claims within a unit of the National Park System.

SEC. 510. GRAZING.

    (a) The privilege of grazing domestic livestock on lands within the

    (b) If a person holding a grazing permit referred to in subsection 
(a) informs the Secretary that such permittee is willing to convey to 
the United States any base property with 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.

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) military aircraft testing and training activities as well 
    as demilitarization activities in California are an important part 
    of the national defense system of the United States, and are 
    essential in order to secure for the American people of this and 
    future generations an enduring and viable national defense system;
        (2) the National Park System units and wilderness areas 
    designated by this Act lie within a region critical to providing 
    training, research, and development for the Armed Forces of the 
    United States and its allies;
        (3) there is a lack of alternative sites available for these 
    military training, testing, and research activities;
        (4) continued use of the lands and airspace in the California 
    desert region is essential for military purposes; and
        (5) continuation of these military 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. 802. MILITARY OVERFLIGHTS.

    (a) Overflights.--Nothing in this Act, the Wilderness Act, or other

National Park or Wilderness Preservation Systems (or any additions to 
existing units) designated by this Act, shall restrict or preclude low-
level overflights of military aircraft over such units, including 
military overflights that can be seen or heard within such units.
    (b) Special Airspace.--Nothing in this Act, the Wilderness Act, or 
other land management laws generally applicable to the new units of the 
National Park or Wilderness Preservation Systems (or any additions to 
existing units) designated by this Act, shall restrict or preclude the 
designation of new units of special airspace or the use or 
establishment of military flight training routes over such new park 
system or wilderness units.
    (c) No Effect on Other Laws.--Nothing in this section shall be 
construed to modify, expand, or diminish any authority under other 
Federal law.

    (B) The Secretary 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

of intention to relinquish pursuant to subsection (a) is contaminated, 
and the Secretary, 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

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, after consultation with the

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;

                   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 as 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 ghost town 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 ghost town 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. 1104. DELTA REGION HERITAGE CORRIDORS AND HERITAGE AND CULTURAL 
              CENTERS.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
        (1) in 1990, the Congress authorized the Institute of Museum 
    Services to prepare a report assessing the needs of small, 
    emerging, minority, and rural museums in order to identify the 
    resources such museums needed to meet their educational mission, to 
    identify the areas of museum operation in which the needs were 
    greatest, and to make recommendations on how these needs could best 
    be met;
        (2) the Institute of Museum Services undertook a comprehensive 
    eighteen month study of such needs with the assistance of two 
    advisory groups, surveyed 524 museums from throughout the Nation, 
    held discussion groups in which representatives of 25 museum groups 
    participated, and conducted case studies of 12 museum facilities 
    around the Nation;
        (3) on the basis of this assessment, the Institute of Museum 
    Services issued a report in September, 1992, entitled, ``National 
    Needs Assessment of Small, Emerging, Minority and Rural Museums in 
    the United States'' (hereinafter ``National Needs Assessment'') 
    which found that small, emerging, minority, and rural museums 
    provide valuable educational and cultural resources for their 
    communities and contain a reservoir of the Nation's material, 
    cultural and historical heritage, but due to inadequate resources 
    are unable to meet their full potential or the demands of the 
    surrounding communities;
        (4) the needs of these institutions are not being met through 
    existing Federal programs;
        (5) fewer than half of the participants in the survey had 
    applied for Federal assistance in the past two years and that many 
    small, emerging, minority and rural museums believe existing 
    Federal programs do not meet their needs;
        (6) based on the National Needs Assessment, that funding 
    agencies should increase support available to small, emerging, 
    minority, and rural museums and make specific recommendations for 
    increasing technical assistance in order to identify such 
    institutions and provide assistance to facilitate their 
    participation in Federal programs;
        (7) the Delta Initiatives Report made specific recommendations 
    for the creation and development of centers for the preservation of 
    the cultural, historical, and literary heritage of the Delta 
    Region, including recommendations for the establishment of a Delta 
    Region Native American Heritage and Cultural Center and a Delta 
    Region African American Heritage and Cultural Center with 
    additional satellite centers or museums linked throughout the Delta 
    Region;
        (8) the Delta Initiatives Report stated that new ways of 
    coordinating, preserving, and promoting the Delta Region's 
    literature, art, and music should be established including the 
    creation of a network to promote the Delta Region's literary, 
    artistic, and musical heritage; and
        (9) wholesale destruction and attrition of archeological sites 
    and structures has eliminated a significant portion of Native 
    American heritage as well as the interpretive potential of the 
    Delta Region's parks and museums. Furthermore, site and structure 
    destruction is so severe that an ambitious program of site and 
    structure acquisition in the Delta Region is necessary.
    (b) In General.--The Secretary, in consultation with the States of 
the Delta Region, the Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, 
the Chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Director 
of the Smithsonian Institution, the Lower Mississippi Delta Development 
Center, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and appropriate 
African American, Native American and other relevant institutions or 
organizations in the Delta Region, is further directed to prepare and 
transmit to the Congress a plan outlining specific recommendations, 
including recommendations for necessary funding, for the establishment 
of a Delta Region Native American Heritage Corridor and Heritage and

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that:
        (1) Jazz is the United States' most widely recognized 
    indigenous music and art form. Congress previously recognized jazz 
    in 1987 through Senate Concurrent Resolution 57 as a rare and 
    valuable national treasure of international importance.
        (2) The city of New Orleans is widely recognized as the 
    birthplace of jazz. In and around this city, cultural and musical

    New Orleans jazz, which is an expression of the cultural diversity 
    of the lower Mississippi Delta Region.
        (3) Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve was 
    established to commemorate the cultural diversity of the lower 
    Mississippi Delta Region including a range of cultural expressions 
    like jazz.
    (b) Purpose.--In furtherance of the need to recognize the value and 
importance of jazz, it is the purpose of this title to establish a New 
Orleans Jazz National Historical Park to preserve the origins, early 
history, development and progression of jazz; provide visitors with 
opportunities to experience the sights, sounds, and places where jazz 
evolved; and implement innovative ways of establishing jazz educational 
partnerships that will help to ensure that jazz continues as a vital 
element of the culture of New Orleans and our Nation.
