geologic, fish and wildlife, historic, cultural, or other similar values,

immediate environments shall be protected for the benefit and enjoy-
ment of present and future generations. The Congress declares that 
the established national policy of dam and other construction at appro-

quality of such rivers and to fulfill other vital national conservation 
purposes. 
(c) The purpose of this Act is to implement this policy by institut-
ing a national wild and scenic rivers system, by designating the initial 
components of that system, and by prescribing the methods by which 
and standards according to which additional components may be added 
to the system from time to time.

rivers (i) that are authorized for inclusion therein by Act of Congress,

which they flow, that are to be permanently administered as wild, 
scenic or recreational rivers by an agency or political subdivision of 
the State or States concerned without expense to the United States, 
that are found by the Secretary of the Interior, upon application of 
the Governor of the State or the Governors of the States concerned,
