Summary

Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that: (1) the Secretary of the Interior should refrain from issuing mineral leases in wilderness areas and lands under formal consideration for wilderness designation; (2) any Federal official who proposes to issue a mineral lease in such an area should provide prior notice to Congress in order to allow congressional prohibition of such lease; (3) additions to the Wilderness System should proceed expeditiously but without arbitrary deadlines; (4) lands under formal consideration for wilderness designation should be managed to preserve their wilderness character; and (5) Federal land management agencies should consider wilderness values in making land management decisions and recommendations.
