in that range. "VYe have reserved a point of order, Mr. Chairman, on 

 the amendment. 



Mr. Kyl. Mr. Chairman, I would like to point out to the gentleman 

 from North Carolina what we are amending is the language that says 

 that: 



Each Federal agency conducting or supporting activities in the coastal zone 

 shall conduct or support those activities in a manner w^hich is, to the maximum 

 extent practicable, consistent with approved state management programs. 



Mr. Lennon". Mr. Chairman, would the gentleman from Iowa object 

 to having the Clerk identify the amendment, and relate it to the page ? 



Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent that the amendment be 

 reread. The amendment which the gentleman from Iowa is offering 

 refers to section 304(b) , and is not found in any of the pages that the 

 gentleman has identified that he would strike in the bill. I do not know 

 about in the committee report, but in the bill. 



The Chairman. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman 

 from North Carolina that the Clerk reread the amendment ? 



There was no objection. 



The Clerk reread the amendment. 



POINT OF ORDER 



Mr. DiNGELX.. Mr. Chairman, I think in order to facilitate the busi- 

 ness of the House, it would be appropriate for me to insist on my point 

 of order, and if the Chair will recognize me at this time, I will give the 

 reasons for the point of order being made. 



The Chairman. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Michigan. 



Mr. DiNGELL. Mr. Chairman, I believe a reading of the point of 

 order makes it plain that the amendment offered referred to legislation 

 and to statutes not presently before the House and not under the juris- 

 diction of the committee having the legislation before the House, and, 

 also, not referred to elsewhere in the statute. 



As a matter of fact, the jurisdiction over the legislation referred to 

 in the amendment is found in other committees such as the Committee 

 on Banking and Currency. 



Mr. Chairman, I would point out further that the amendment refers 

 to the Demonstration Cities and Metropolitan Development Act which 

 refers to matters entirely different than the coastal zone, and, also, the 

 Intergovernmental Cooperation Act, which again is an act which 

 treats of other matters. 



In subparagraph (d) of the amendment which is the paragraph 

 following that which I have just been discussing, it refers to the Na- 

 tional Environmental Policy Act, section 1022(c), which again is not 

 before the House at this time and which treats matters entirely differ- 

 ent than those which are before us with regard to the management of 

 coastal zones. Even though the provisions of section 1022 (c) referred 

 to in the amendment would be applied to major actions which would 

 have a significant impact on human environment. 



Therefore, I make the point or order at this time that the amend- 

 ment is not germane to the legislation before us, and it goes beyond 

 and is different in scope and purpose from the legislation before us, 

 and, therefore, should be ruled against by the Chair.
