bills and resolutions first go to committees that deliberate, investigate, and revise
them before they go to general debate. The majority of bills and resolutions never make it out of committee.

Wilderness areas cannot be designated on state land, by definition [The Wilderness Act of 1964, Section 2(c)]. The land in question has been in the United States public domain since the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. The Property Clause of the U.S. Constitution [Article Four, Section 3] permits Congress to dispose of and legislate for all territories and properties belonging to the United States.
