We hope we have created, in S. 3507, an answer to this plea for help. 

 We know that the mechanism this bill envisions may not be perfect, 

 but nothing is perfect. It may not solve every problem — but few Gov- 

 ernment solutions can handle everything. It may not make everybody 

 happy — because there are a lot of folks who do not care about the 

 result of rapid development. All they want is a profit. This kind of 

 thinking can no longer be tolerated in America — if Am.erica wants any 

 kind of a decent environment for its citizens in the decade ahead. The 

 coastal zone bill will help us build and preserve that kind of Amer- 

 ica — a place where those of us who support this measure today can 

 take some pride in the years ahead. I urge all my colleagues to join in 

 voting for the bill, for good government, for progressive government, 

 and for protection of our most vital resources in S. 3507. 



Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the names of the co- 

 sponsors of the pending bill be shown in the Record here. 



Mr. STE^^5]s^soN (the presiding officer). Without objection, it is so 

 ordered.

]Mr. Hollings. Mr. President, I yield to the distinguished ranking 

 minority member of the committee, the Senator from Alaska (Mr. 

 Stevens) . 



Senator Stevens has been of invaluable help. He starts with a pri- 

 mar\^ interest in the matter, because the coastline of Alaska comprises 

 practically half the coastline of the United States, and he obviously 

 has a firsthand loiowledge as well. He joined me in all these hearings 

 of the Commerce Subcommittee on Oceans and Atmosphere. He is a 

 member of the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs. He has 

 served in the Department of the Interior, in the executive branch of 

 Government. He has worked with me in trying to reconcile differences 

 and concerns not only with the administration, but also with the 

 Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, the Committee on Public 

 Works, and other public concerns. 



I am glad to yield to Senator Stevens. 



Mr. Steatins. Mr. President, as a member of the Committee on Com- 

 merce and as the ranking minority member of the Subcommittee on 

 Oceans and Atmosphere of that committee, I would like to commend 

 my distinguished friend and colleague from South Carolina, Mr. 

 Hollings, the chairman of our subcommittee, for his leadership on this 

 legislation. Over the past two Congresses he has conducted many da;7S 

 of hearings and worked through many executive sessions to see this 

 bill become a reality. With successful consideration here today and 

 with the action that appears imminent in the House, I feel confident
