visitors to the recreation area and the citizens of the States of New 
Jersey and Pennsylvania: 
(1) Highway 209, as a federally owned road within the boundaries 
of the recreation area, is hereby closed to all commercial vehicular 
traffic upon enactment of this law, except for those commercial 
vehicular operations which are based within the recreation area, or 
which have business facilities in Monroe and Pike Counties, Penn-
sylvania, operating, on the date of enactment, commercial vehicular 
traffic originating or terminating outside the recreation area, and 
except for those commercial vehicular operations which are neces-
sary to provide services to businesses and persons located within or 
contiguous to the boundaries of the recreation area. 
(2) The Secretary of the Interior is authorized and directed, not-
withstanding any other law, to establish a commercial operation fee 
for the use, in accordance with subsection (1), of highway 209 for all 
commercial vehicles, except for commercial vehicular operations 
serving businesses or persons located in or contiguous to the bound-
daries of the recreation area: Provided, That the fee schedule may 
not exceed $10 per trip: Provided further, That all fees received shall 
be set aside in a special account and are available, without further 
appropriation, for the management, operation, construction, and 
maintenance of highway 209 within the boundaries of the recreation 
area. 
(3) The provisions of subsection (1) of this section shall terminate 
on December 31, 1983. The provisions of subsection (2) of this section 
shall terminate three years from the enactment of this section 
unless construction of the 1-287 bypass in New Jersey or any other

construction has been commenced subsection (2) of this section will 
terminate ten years from the enactment of this section, or when 
construction of 1-287 or any other feasible, suitable alternative is 
completed, which ever occurs first. 
(4) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, procedural or 
substantive, 100 per centum Federal highway trust funds moneys 
are hereby allocated as part of the State's allocation, and are 
immediately available for obligation to the State of New Jersey for 
the construction of the 1-287 bypass in New Jersey or any other 
feasible, suitable alternative, such appropriation as may be made 
available by Congress from general appropriations to cover 100 per 
centum of the cost of the 1-287 bypass or the alternative route. 
The Congress finds that the Forest Service's proposal of March 15, 
1983, to consider six million acres of the national forest for possible 
sale has met with considerable opposition; and the national forests 
are an important part of the national heritage of the United States; 
and the national forests provide and protect important resources; 
and the national forests provide unique opportunities for recreation; 
and it is inconsistent with past management practices to dispose of 
large portions of our national forests. It is, therefore, the sense of 
the Congress that it is not in the national interest to grant the 
authority to sell significant acreage of the national forest until such 
time as the Forest Service specifically identifies the tracts which are 
no longer needed by the Federal Government; inventories the tracts 
as to their public benefit value; provides opportunities for public 
review and discussion of the tracts; and completes all necessary 
environmental a.ssessments of such sales.
