I hope the Senator from Arkansas will agree that that ought to be 

 clone. If we limit it to OCS development only, we are going to miss 

 the great thing that ^xe did 3 years ago in terms of giving an induce- 

 ment to the States to plan and manage the coastal zones that will be 

 preserved. 



Mr. Bumpers. I am willing to concede this much : that the coastal, 

 zone States do indeed have peculiar problems that are not peculiar to 

 States svich as my own. By the same token, as a matter of fact, I am 

 willing to concede, for example, a nuclear powerplant, off the coast 

 of Massachusetts or South Carolina, does indeed have a terrible en- 

 vironmental impact on those States. 



By the same token there is the Arkansas River, which is near and 

 dear to my heart, as it is to my distinguished colleagues from Okla- 

 homa. Arkansas has two nuclear generating plants within 2 miles of 

 each other, and I can tell the Senator that those two plants have a very 

 significant impact on the safety of the Arkansas. 



So I am willing to concede that, if a nuclear generating plant is 

 built on any of the coasts that are under the Coastal Management Act, 

 they indeed ought to have aid, although I know we are not going to 

 get aid under the same provision, but I am simply saying let us treat 

 all 50 States fairly when we go beyond what is peculiar to that State, 

 and that is offshore exploration. 



Mr. Glenk. Mr. President, will the Senator yield ? 



Mr. HoLLiNGS. I will in just a minute. 



First let me clarify one thing. 



Mr. President, No. 1, let us go the Coastal Zone Management Act. 

 If I could have the attention of the distinguished Senator from Ar- 

 kansas. Reading from Public Law 92-583 ; among those things funded 

 by Congress under paragraph sub 302(c) , one finds mention of "the in- 

 creasing and competing demands upon the lands and waters of our 

 coastal zone occasioned," but not by offshore drilling; "by population 

 growth." but not offshore drilling; "economic development, including 

 requirements for industry," but not offshore drilling ; "commerce, resi- 

 dential development," but not offshore drilling; population growth, 

 economic development, industry, commerce residential development, 

 recreation — I could go right on down the list. This was not an offshore 

 drilling. I am willing and trying hard to reconcile the different phi- 

 losophies and thoughts, when we worked the original act out with our 

 friends on the committees on Interior and Insular Affairs, particularly 

 on the House side, we passed it with this view in mind, so do not go 

 and use the language "original concept of offshore drilling." 



On the contrarv, this is a coastal zone area. 



Let me go to the next definition that should be alluded to, because 

 someone suggested that the entire State of New Jersey might come 

 under this Act. It is onlv the coastal counties we are speaking of, as a 

 reading again from Public Law 92-583, states : 



The zone extends inland from the shorelines only to the extent necessary to 

 control shore lands, the uses of which may have a direct and significant impact 

 npou the coastal waters. 



I will i-ead one other particular section that alludes specifically to 

 the facilities which is again in 92-583, subsection 306(8) : 



The management program provides for adequate consideration of the national 

 interest involved in the siting of facilities necessary to meet requirements which 

 are other than local in nature.
