ment have outstanding natural characteristics that
give them high value as wilderness and that can, if
properly managed, serve as an enduring resource of
wilderness for the benefit of the American people;
(b) it is in the national interest that these areas
be promptly designated as components of the Na-
tional Wilderness Preservation System in order to
preserve and maintain them as an enduring resource
of wilderness to be managed to promote and perpet-
uate their wilderness character and their specific
multiple values for natural systems biodiversity, wa-
tershed preservation, wildlife habitat protection, sce-
nic and historic preservation, scientific research and
educational use, primitive recreation, solitude, phys-
ical and mental challenge, and inspiration for the
benefit of present and future generations of the
American people; and

and Riverside Counties, California are appropriate
for transfer from the Bureau of Land Management
to the National Park Service as additions to the
Death Valley and Joshua Tree National Monuments.
