 Mineral King was ultimately never developed and was absorbed into Sequoia National Park.During the 95th United States Congress, Congressman John Hans Krebs attached a measure adding Mineral King to Sequoia National Park to a large omnibus “Park Barrel Bill”, which President Jimmy Carter then signed into law in 1978.Thirty years later during the 111th United States Congress, Senator Barbara Boxer developed a bill designating Mineral King as the John Krebs Wilderness, which President Barack Obama then signed into law in the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009.
