Act shall be deemed to be a reference to the effective date
of this title and any reference to the Secretary of Agri-
culture shall be deemed to be a reference to the Secretary
who has administrative jurisdiction over the area.
GRAZING
SEC. 104. Within the wilderness areas designated
under section 102, the grazing of livestock, where established
prior to the enactment of this Act, shall be permitted to
