hereafter be included within the Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge,
nor its power and authority by legislative or authorized executive
action to make such rules and regulations as it shall deem needful or
convenient for the promotion and protection of the Federal uses and
purposes to which the areas comprising the refuge shall be devoted from
