Debate and Passage of H.R. 14146, August 2, 1972 

 coastal zone management 



Mr. BoLLiNG. Mr. Speaker, by direction of the Committee on Rules, 

 I call up House Resolution 1063 and ask for its immediate consider- 

 ation. 



The Clerk read tlie resolution as follows: 



House Resolution 1063 



Resolved, That upon the adoption of this resolution it shall be in order to 

 move that the House resolve itself into the Committee of the Whole House on 

 the State of the Union for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 14146) to establish 

 a national policy and develop a national program for the management, bene- 

 ficial use, protection, and development of the land and water resources of the 

 Nation's coastal zone, and for other purposes. After general debate, which shall 

 be confined to the bill and shall continue not to exceed one hour, to be equally 

 divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the 

 Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries, the bill shall be read for amend- 

 ment under the five-minute rule. It shall be in order to consider the amendment 

 in the nature of a substitute recommended by the Committee on Merchant Marine 

 and Fisheries now printed in the bill as an original bill for the purpose of 

 amendment under the five-minute rule. At the conclusion of such consideration, 

 the Committee shall rise and report the bill to the House with such amendments 

 as may have been adopted, and any Member may demand a separate vote in 

 the House on any amendment adopted in the Committee of the Whole to the 

 bill or to the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute. The previous 

 question shall be considered as ordered on the bill and amendments thereto to 

 final passage without intervening motion except one motion to recommit with 

 or without instructions. After the passage of H.R. 14146 the Committee on 

 Merchant Marine and Fisheries shall be discharged from the further consider- 

 ation of the bill S. 3507, and it shall then be in order in the House to move to 

 strike out all after the enacting clause of the said Senate bill and insert in lieu 

 thereof the provisions contained in H.R. 14146 as passed by the House. 



Mr. BoLLiNG. Mr. Speaker. I yield 30 minutes to the irentleman 

 from Nebraska (Mr. Martin) pending which I yield myself such 

 time as I may consume. 



Mr. Speaker, I know of no present controversy on this rule. Initially 

 the matter was held up in the Committee on Rules because there was 

 a controversy or conflict between the committee brinafino; this bill 

 to the floor, the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries, and 

 the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs. Since the conflict 

 began, it has somehow been reconciled and objection to the granting 

 of a rule on this particular matter was withdrawn by the chairman 

 of that committee, and to the best of my knowledge, there is no con- 

 troversy over the resolution. 



The Speaker. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Nebraska 

 (Mr. Martin). 



_ Mr. Martin. Mr. Speaker, the pending resolution. House Resolu- 

 tion 1063 provides for an open nile with 1 hour of debate on the bill 

 H.R. 14146, coastal zone management bill.
