So Mr. Bumpers' amendment was rejected. 



CHANGE OF VOTE ON BUMPERS AMENDMENT 



Mr. Church subsequently said. Mr. President, I rise for a unani- 

 mous consent request. 



When the Senate was considering voting on the amendment offered 

 by the distinguished Senator from Arkansas (Mr. Bumpers) I voted 

 "no" by mistalve. I intended to vote and wanted to vote "aye." Since it 

 will not change the result, I ask unanimous consent of the Senate that 

 my vote may be recorded as "aye" on that particular rollcall vote. 



The Pkesujing Officer. Is there objection? Hearing no objection, it 

 is so ordered. 



[The rollcall vote on Mr. Bumpere' amendment reflects the foregoing 

 unanimous-consent request.] 



Mr. Bumpers. Mr. President, this is an extremely important measure 

 we just voted on. I move for reconsideration, but I might say, with 

 the manager's permission, I feel that there are a great number of 

 Senatois here who do not really understand the impact of what the 

 bill does with the amendment. It simply provides that any coastal 

 State 



The Prestding Officer. Who yields time ? 



Mr. BuMi'ERS. I ask the Senator to yield me 120 seconds. 



Mr. IIoLEiNGS. I yield to the Senator from Arkansas. 



]Mr. BuMPpms. ]Mr. President, this bill provides that coastal States 

 will receive planning and impact funds not just for offshore develop- 

 ment and production but also for an}^ energy facility which is built in 

 the State, and if they can prove to the Secretary that an impact of 

 some kind has occurred within the coastal zone. That means that if a 

 coal-fired generating plant or a nuclear generating plant is built in 

 western Xew Jersey or in western South Carolina, they are entitled to 

 a grant. If the same facilities are built in an inland State, it is not even 

 argual>le that they are entitled to apply to the Secretary for aid. 



T admire the coastal zone States for their efforts to protect the 

 coastal zone. I championed the Coastal Management Zone Act of 1972 

 and still do. but I say this should be handled in an even-handed man- 

 ner, eithei- through a land use planning bill or through a powerplant 

 siting bill. But we are fragmenting it in such a way that some States 

 are being discriminated against though they may suffer as nnich as or 

 moi-e than coastal zone States. I am saying that this is patently unfair 

 to the rest of the Xation. 



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



Mr. Bttmpers. If I have any time remaining. 



The Presiding Officer. The time of the Senator has expired. 



Mr. Rollings. I yield to the Senator from New York. 



iNIr. Bumpers. ]\Ir. President, I move to reconsider the vote by which 

 the amendment was rejected. 



The Presiding Officer. The Senator now has 10 minutes at his 

 disposal.
