Mr. Gross. I have read the report rather carefully, but r.owhere 

 do I find a letter or statement of any kind from the Office of ]Manage- 

 nient and Budget concerning this proposed expenditure. Therefore 

 it appears to be completely unbudgeted. 



Is there a statement in the report ? 



ISIr. Lexxon. There is not. 



I Yv^ould expect today to offer an amendraent related to autliorization 

 in the bill which has been approved by the Oiiice of Management and 

 the Bureau of the Budget. 



Then I want to say to my friend tlie only thing that this administra- 

 tion has approved — not the transfer of this — as this House voted to do 

 on the recommendation of some of its Members — the administration 

 has appealed to our connnittee based upon the fiscal affairs of this 

 Nation, both for fiscal 1973 and the potential for 1974 to cut back the 

 figures that we had. 



I shall offer an amendment for that purpose. That is all that tlie 

 administration stated to me in writing that they were interested in — ■ 

 and not a transfer as you voted, to turn it back to the Department 

 of the Interior despite what you heard on the floor. 



AMEXDMEXT OFFERED BY MR. KYL 



Mr. Kyl. ^Ir. Chairman, I offer an amendiiient. 

 The Clerk read as follows : 



Amendment offered by Mr. Kyl : page 53, lines 14-24, delete subparagraplis 

 (a) (1), (2), and (3), and substitute therefor: 



"(1) the sum of $6,000,000 in each of fiscal years 1973 and 197-1, and the 

 .sum of $4,000,000 in fiscal year lf)75, for grants under section 305, to remain 

 arailable until expended ; and 



"(2) the sum of $18,000,000 in each of fiscal years 1974 and 1975 for grants 

 under section 306, to remain available until expended." 



Mr. Kyl. Mr. Chairman, these sums represent approximately 60 

 percent of the amounts recommended for the development and im- 

 plementation of statewide land-use plans under the National Land 

 Use Policy Act of 1972, reflecting the ratio of coastal States to all 

 States. They are sound figures, based on careful study of anticipated 

 needs and the States' ability to make effective use of such assistance. 



They reflect the ratio to start for those Coastal States, They are 

 sound figures, I believe, based on these studies of anticipated needs 

 and the States ability to make effective use of that assistance,
