Congress does not want these Oklahoma wilderness designations to create buffer zones around them. Non-wilderness activities that can be seen or heard from inside the wilderness are not automatically barred just because of that, right up to the wilderness boundary.

Congress does not intend for designating wilderness areas in Oklahoma to create protective perimeters or buffer zones around each one. The fact that activities or uses outside the wilderness can be seen or heard from inside it does not, by itself, prevent those activities or uses from continuing right up to the wilderness area's boundary.

The fact that nonwilderness activities or uses can be seen or heard from areas within the wilderness shall not, of itself, preclude such activities or uses up to the boundary of the wilderness area.
