               D.   Conclusion                                                        
               Congress enacted a statutory scheme delegating broad                   
          authority to the Secretary.  Whether we agree with such                     
          delegation, or are comfortable with its consequences, is                    
          irrelevant.  We must follow the statutory mandate and not do the            
          job reserved for either the legislative or executive branch.
