I just would point out this is not a discretion. It says it shall be administered in the same manner as the secretary. So it is a mandated requirement on page 28 of the bill, section 103.

Although I am here to celebrate and commend Congress for its role in protecting our nation's land, the Wilderness Preservation System is far from complete and the land is far from being fully protected.
Mr. Speaker, I concur in the ranking member's remarks and the subcommittee chairman's remarks concerning this bill. ... we have to go back and make some modifications to clarify intent and to eliminate ambiguity.
In the face of growing public sentiment and outcry for more greenspace and wildlands, Congress must push forward an agenda that all of America can support--protection and expansion of America's Wilderness Preservation System.
It is time that Congress breath new life into Wilderness Preservation System and expand on its already diverse portfolio.
