appropriation, storage, and withdrawal of ground water, surface water, 
and lake, stream, and river water from the recreation area and the 
conveyance thereof outside the boundaries of the recreation area for 
beneficial use in accordance with applicable laws of the United States 
and of the State of Oregon if permission therefor has been obtained from 
the State of Oregon before March 23, 1972: Provided, That nothing herein 
shall prohibit or authorize the prohibition of the use of water from 
Tahkenitch or Siltcoo Lakes in accordance with permission granted by the

industrial plants developed or being developed at or near Gardiner,

    The Secretary is further authorized, subject to applicable water

from the State of Oregon, subject to such reasonable terms and 
conditions as he deems necessary for the protection of the scenic,
