SEC. 104. (a) The Congress finds that— (1) the Department of Agriculture has completed the second roadless area review and evaluation program (RARE II); and (2) the Congress has made its own review and examination of National Forest System roadless areas in the State of Nebraska and of the environmental impacts associated with alternative allocations of such areas.
