The Senate continued with the consideration of the bill (S. 3507) 

 to establish a national policy and develop a national program for 

 the management, beneficial use, protection, and development of the 

 land and water resources of the Nation's coastal zones, and for other 

 purposes. 



Mr. Robert C. Byrd. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a 

 quorum. 



The Acting President pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll. 



The second assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll. 



Mr. Robert C. Byrd. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that 

 the order for the quorum call be rescinded. 



The Acting President pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 

 ordered. What is the pleasure of the Senate ? 



Mr. Hollings. Mr. President, I ask that the Senate proceed with 

 the consideration of S. 8507. 



The Acting President pro tempore. That bill has been laid before 

 the Senate, and is the pending business. 



Mr. Eagleton. Mr. President, a parliamentary inquiry. 



The Acting President pro tempore. The Senator will state it. 



Mr. Eagleton. If at a later time, prior to offering my amendment, 

 I should desire to move that this bill be referred to the Committee 

 on Public Works, would I have the right to make such a motion, 

 if I do not do so at this particular time ? 



The Acting President pro tempore. Such a motion may be made 

 at any time prior to the vote on the bill. 



Mr. Eagleton. I thank the Chair.

Mr. Rollings. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that two 

 members of my staff, Mary Jo Manning and John Hussey, be granted 

 the privilege of the floor during the consideration of this measure. 



The Acting President pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 

 ordered. 



Mr. Hollings. Mr. President, it is with a great deal of pleasure 

 that the Committee on Commerce recommends unanimously the ap- 

 proval of S. 3507, the National Coastal Zone Management Act of 

 1972. This bill will provide the Federal assistance necessary to help 

 States and local governments plan and operate coastal zone man- 

 agement programs. The aim is to allow the wise and orderly develop- 

 ment and growth within this critical area so as to protect the vital 

 waters of our coastlines and Great Lakes. 



This bill has been before the Senate for 2 years, first introduced 

 by Senator Warren G. Magnuson, of Washington. I might say that 

 it was the wisdom and leadership of the distinguished chairman
