Mr. Kyl,. Will the gentleman yield ? 



Mr. Lennox. I will yield to the gentleman from Iowa. 



Mr. Kyl. My purpose for asking the previous question and taking 

 the time now is to tell the gentleman that I support his substitute 

 amendment. 



Mr. Lennon. Let me tell you why the administration offered this. 

 I want to explain something else. I read on : 



These figures represent a percentage of the proposed Administration amend- 

 ment to the pending National Land Use Bill, which would limit the appropriations. 



The Administration believes this percentage is justified since the land use bill 

 to be applied to all States in the land use zone would be as applied roughly . . . 

 and so forth. 



Now, these figures are relating I will say to my other good friend, 

 the gentleman from Iowa, to the potential we may have possibly for the 

 next year on the national land use bill. 



Mr. Chairman, I ask for a vote. 



The Chairman. The question is on the substitute amendment offered 

 by the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Lennon) for the amend- 

 ment offered by the gentleman from Iowa (Mr. Kyl) . 



The substitute amendment was agreed to. 



The Chairman. The question is on the amendment offered by the 

 gentleman from Iowa (Mr. Kyl) , as amended. 



The amendment, as amended, was agreed to. 



AMENDMENT OFFERED BY MR. LENNON 



Mr, Lennon. Mr. Chairman, I offer an amendment which is a tech- 

 nical amendment. 



The Clerk read as follows : 



Amendment offered by Mr. Lennon : 



On page 34, line 28, delete "(2)" and insert in lieu thereof "(1)". 



The Chairman. The question is on the amendment offered by the 

 gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Lennon). 

 The amendment was agreed to. 



amendment offered by MR. GONZALEZ 



Mr. Gonzalez. Mr. Chairman, I offer an amendment. 

 The Clerk read as follows : 



Amendment offered by Mr. Gonzalez : Page 52, after line 8, insert new section 

 315(a) : 



"Nothing contained in this act shall be construed as prohibiting any citizen 

 free and unlimited access to the public beaches and beach lines in all coastal 

 areas." 



Mr. Gonzalez. Mr. Chairman, this amendment is very plain and to 

 the point. It just makes sure that nothing in the act could be construed 

 to prohibit or prevent or limit a citizen's access to the public beaches. 

 We are living in a day and time in which our coastal areas and beaches 

 are limited. They are very definitely constricted. I think it is a very 

 paramount issue affecting the well being of the overwhelming and pre- 

 ponderant majority of the citizens of our country. I think one freedom 

 we ought to maintain unencumbered is the freedom of the enjoyment
