The Chairman. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Iowa 

 (Mr. Kyi). 



Mr. Kyl. Mr. Chairman, it is the opinion of the gentleman from 

 Iowa that the chairman is capable of rendering his decision without 

 this gentleman's assistance. 



The Chairman. The Chair is prepared to rule. 



The Chair has read the committee amendment which this amend- 

 ment proposes to amend. 



On page 41, at lines 16 and 17, the committee amendment amends 

 the Demonstration Cities and Metropolitan Development Act of 1966, 

 and on page 43, line 5, paragraph (C) (1) it speaks of each Federal 

 agency conducting or supporting activities in the Coastal Zone. 



And on page 43, line 10, paragraph (2) it speaks also of any Federal 

 agency which shall undertake any development project in the coastal 

 zone. 



Therefore, the Chair finds that the committee amendment is very 

 broad and already covers matter proposed in the amendment of the 

 gentleman from Iowa (^Ir. Kyl). The Chair overrules the point of 

 order and holds that the amendment is germane. 



Mr. DiNGELL. Mr. Chairman, I would like to be heard further to 

 bring to the attention of the Chair matters which the Chair has not 

 treated as to this particular point, and I would remind the chairman 

 I have pointed to two acts referred to by the Chair in his ruling. 



The Chairman. The Chair has already made his decision on the 

 point of order and has ruled that the amendment is germane. 



Mr. DiNGELL. I think the Chair has not observed that I made a point 

 of order dealing with the second paragraph. 



The Chairman. Does the gentleman from Michigan wish to strike 

 out the last word and speak on the amendment? 



Mr. DiNGELL. No. I simply want a ruling on the point of order that 

 treats all parts of the point of order. 



The Chairman. The Chair has ruled on the point of order and has 

 ruled the amendment is germane. 



If the gentleman from Michigan desires to strike out the last word 

 and speak in opposition to the amendment, the Chair will recognize 

 the gentleman. Otherwise the Chair will not recognize the gentleman 

 further. 



Mr. Lennon. Mr. Chairman, I move to strike out the last word and 

 rise in opposition to the amendment. 



Mr. Chairman, I think those who have read the language of the 

 National Land Use Policy Act that has been pending in the Commit- 

 tee on Interior and Insular Affairs recognize that there is little likeli- 

 hood, and I think our distinguished chairman of that committee, the 

 gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Aspinall), vrill tell you frankly that 

 there is little likelihood that that bill will come out during this cal- 

 endar year. 



But what we have done here — this amendment takes the language 

 that is used in the bill that is pending in the committee and that has 

 not been reported out of a committee and brings it here and offers it 

 as a substitute for language that was considered in a committee for 28 

 legislative days' hearings.
