their interrelated purposes and resources into one National Park Sys-
tem as cumulative expressions of a single national heritage; 
(3) individually and collectively, these areas derive increased national 
dignity and recognition of their superb environmental quality through 
their inclusion jointly with each other in the System preserved and 
managed for the benefit and inspiration of all the people of the United 
States; and 
(4) it is the purpose of this section and sections 100501 and 100911 
of this title to include all these areas in the System and to clarify the 
authorities applicable to the System.

strued and the protection, management, and administration of the System
