We may not have funds available at the moment to expand this pro- 

 gram to cover every State in the Union, but perhaps we will at some 

 time. 



Mr. Bumpers. Mr. President, is an amendment pending now? 



Mr. HoLLiNGS. No. Does the Senator from Arkansas wish to submit 



Mr. Bumpers. Yes. I call up my amendment at this time. 



Mr. Ste\T2XS. Mr. President, I say to the Senator from Ohio that I 

 wish he would discuss with the Senator from Louisiana what we have 

 done. We have made this bill similar 



The PREsroiNG Officer. Will the Senator suspend until the amend- 

 ment is reported ? 



The amendment will be stated. 



The legislative clerk proceeded to read the amendment. 



jSIr. Bumpers. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that further 

 reading of the amendment be dispensed with. 



The PREsroiNG Officer. Without objection, it is so ordered. 



The amendment is as follows : 



On page 17 strike lines 10 through 14 and the words "or operation of an 

 energy facility." on line 15, and insert in lieu thereof the following : 



'•Sec. 308. (a) The Secretary is authorized to make a grant to a coastal State, 

 if he determines that such State's coastal zone has been, or is likely to be, im- 

 pacted by the exploration for, or the development or production of, energy re- 

 sources offshore, or by the location, construction, expansion, or operation of 

 an energy facility which is made necessary by such exploration, development, 

 or production of energy reseources offshore." 



And by striking lines 24 and 25 on page 17 and lines 1 through 4 on page 18 and 

 the words "energy facility" on page 18, line 5, and innserting in lieu thereof the 

 following : 



"(b) The Secretary is authorized to make a loan and/or a grant to a coastal 

 State, if he determines, pursuant to subsection (d) and (e) of this section, that 

 such State's coastal zone has been or is likely to be adversely impacted by ex- 

 ploration for or by development or production of energy resources offshore, or by 

 the location, construction, expansion, or operation, of an energy facility which 

 is made nece.^sary by such exploration, development, or production of energy 

 resoui'ces offshore,". 



Mr. Stevens. Mr. President, I hope the Senator from Ohio will dis- 

 cuss w'ith the Senator from Louisiana the fact that we have reached 

 an agreement making S. 521 and S. 586 identical in terms of the fund- 

 ing for the coastal zone grants and loans. We are not being redundant 

 with other legislation. 



I hope he will also take into account the problem we have with re- 

 gard to some of the areas that are in fact subject to OCS development. 



I understand what the Senator is saying with regard to the entire 

 country. We are prepared to work with the Senator. As a matter of 

 fact. T liave introduced a bill that would provide money from the in- 

 come of OCS to take care of that. It would provide one-quarter of the 

 revenues that would go into the genei-al revenue sharing fund for all 50 

 States to meet some of these problems. That would provide an extra 

 cari-ot to some of oui* fi'iends along the coastline to bring about de- 

 ^'elopment of the OC^S. where we have vast resources, because they 

 also would get a quarter of the income. 



]\[r. Glenx. I am interested in seeing fewer carrots put out. We 

 have States that have development commissions, and they are anxious 

 to see business and industry come to their States. We are setting up a
