was pleased to vote for it because I thought it would be good for Ap- 

 palachia and Appaiachia is part of the United States. 



Mr. Bumpers. Mr. President, whose time are we on ? 



The Presiding Officer. The Senator from South Carolina yielded 

 to the Senator from Louisiana. 



jNIr. Long. I do not even know if Louisiana is going to come up with 

 a land use plan, but if the Senate thinks it is a good idea to do some- 

 thing, to try to do some land planning in the coastal areas of the coastal 

 States, I do not know why we should not do that. If somebody can 

 think of something that will be good for Arkansas, by all means, bring 

 it in here. 



I voted for the Ai'kansas project and supported it. There was not a 

 thing in there for Louisiana, but I lived in the hope that if we did 

 something for Arkansas, some day, Arkansas might do something for 

 Louisiana. [Laughter.] 



Mr. HoLLiNGS. Mr. President, I move to table the motion. I ask for 

 the yeas and nays. 



The Presiding Officer. The motion to table is not in order until 

 the time of the Senator from Arkansas on his motion has expired or 

 been yielded back. 



Mr. Hollings. I yielded back my time. 



Mr. Bumpers. How much time is left? 



The Presiding Officer. The Senator from Arkansas has 4 minutes 

 remaining. A motion is not in order until he yields. 



Mr. Hollings. I am sorry. 



Mr. Chiles. Will the Senator from South Carolina yield to me ? 



The Presiding Officer. Has the Senator from South Carolina 

 yielded back his time? 



Mr. Hollings. No, I will let him go ahead. 



Mr. Chiles. Under the amendment the Senator is proposing, he is 

 not cutting total funds, is he ? 



Mr. Bumpers. No. 



Mr. Chiles. What he is saying, though, to those coastal States is 

 that they would still be able to share and there is no reduction in the 

 total funds, but the grants would have to be for onshore facilities or 

 something occasioned by virtue of the offshore oil drilling ? 



]Mr. Bumpers. That is correct. 



Mr. Chiles. As opposed to being something else. 



So for my State of Florida, if we have drilling, either in the Atlantic 

 or in the gulf, and then we have some facilities for that, be it pipeline, 

 be it refineries, be it anv other occasioned from the offshore drilling, we 

 would be entitled to aid under tliis provision. 



Mr. Bumpers. That is correct. 



Mr. Chiles. But where we would not be entitled would be if we had 

 some other facility that was not a part of the offshore provisions at all ? 



Mr. Bumpers. That is correct. 



Mr. Chiles. We would not be entitled to aid for that? 



Mr. Bumpers. I might say to the Senator from Florida that I have 

 no opposition — as a matter of fact, I am a strong advocate of land use 

 planning. I am a strong advocate of powerplant siting legislation. I 

 think it ought to be addressed on that basis. But even if it is addressed 

 on that basis, I think it ought to be on a basis that is fair to all States.
