[EX Q]: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Columbia River Habitat Protection 
and Recreational Access Act of 1997''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The 51-mile stretch of the Columbia River, known as the 
        ``Hanford Reach'', provides 80 percent of the fall Chinook 
        salmon in the river system, critical habitat for wildlife, a 
        high-quality waterfowl sanctuary, as well as numerous scenic, 
        historic, and recreational opportunities for the public.
            (2) In 1996 Congress, through Public Law 104-333, 
        prohibited damming, dredging, channeling, or other such 
        activities along the Hanford Reach in order to help preserve 
        and protect the unique environmental benefits of the region.
            (3) The lands surrounding the Hanford Reach area of the 
        Columbia River, Washington, should be properly managed in order 
        to protect plant, fish, wildlife, cultural, recreational, and 
        scenic resources, while preserving access to these lands.
            (4) Recognizing the unique and pristine values of the area, 
        local citizens in cooperation with Federal and State 
        authorities have developed a comprehensive protection plan 
        which has enhanced salmon habitat along the Hanford Reach. This 
        plan, known as the Vernita Bar Agreement, has preserved the 
        free flowing, riparian character of the Hanford Reach, and 
        serves as a blueprint for further successful management along 
        the Columbia River.
            (5) Although dozens of local, State, and Federal 
        environmental protection and management laws and regulations 
        exist for the Hanford Reach, management efforts can be better 
        integrated and can lead to more efficient use of public 
        resources and improved habitat and recreation management.
            (6) Several of the areas adjacent to the Hanford Reach of 
        the Columbia River, including lands known as the Wahluke Slope, 
        currently owned by the United States, have been extensively 
        studied and reviewed through environmental impact statements 
        and have been declared environmentally sound and certified 
        suitable for conveyance.
            (7) Inasmuch as Federal financial resources are 
        constrained, joint partnerships among Federal, State, and local 
        entities can provide long-term habitat and wildlife management, 
        maintain recreational opportunities, and develop a responsible 
        and environmentally sound local land use plan for the region.
            (8) The people and the governments of Benton, Franklin, 
        Grant, and Adams Counties desire to enter into such a 
        partnership with the State of Washington and the United States 
        to ensure the continued protection of plant, fish, wildlife, 
        cultural, recreational, and scenic resources on the lands 
        surrounding the Hanford Reach.
            (9) Such a cooperative partnership will provide a forum for 
        public input from the entire region and ensure the long-term 
        protection of the river as wild, scenic, and accessible.
            (10) Congress recommends the formation of a commission, of 
        which a majority of the members of such a commission represent 
        the local entities, to ensure that the above goals are achieved 
        and to maintain maximum involvement by the citizens of Benton, 
        Franklin, Grant, and Adams Counties.
