Mr. TuNNEY. Mr. President, I have an amendment which has already 

 been cleared with both sides of the aisle. 



Mr. HoLLixGS. After the Senator from Massachusetts. 



Mr. Stevens. Mr. President, I yield myself 1 minute on the bill. 



As I understand it, the impact of this is that we would be voting on 

 the amendment of the Senator from Arkansas and then for passage, 

 around 7 o'clock. 



Mr. HoLLiNGS. Mr. President, the present question is the Kennedy 

 amendment. I yield back the remainder of my time and am ready to 

 vote. 



Mr. PIathaw^a.y. Mr. President, 1 minute on this measure. 



I am glad to commend the manager and the Senator from Alaska 

 for accepting this amendment which will help those States which have 

 not had any offshore development whatsoever. 



If it were not for this amendment most of the money would go to 

 those States that already have development, and in view of the fact 

 that there are not many funds or dollars in the fund, this will do jus- 

 tice to all of the States involved. 



Mr. HoLLiNGS. Vote ! Vote ! 



The Presiding Officer. Is all time yielded back ? 



Mr. Rollings. We yield back the remainder of our time. 



The Presiding Officer. The question is on agreeing to the amend- 

 ment. 



The amendment was agreed to. 



Mr. TuNNEY. Mr. President, I send an amendment to the desk and 

 ask for its immediate consideration. 



The Presiding Officer. The amendment will be stated. 



The legislative clerk proceeded to read the amendment. 



Mr. TuNNEY. JNIr. President, I ask unanimous consent that further 

 reading of the amendment be dispensed with. 



Tlie Presiding Officer. Without objection, it is so ordered. 



The amendment is as follows : 



On page 25, beginning with "and" in line 11, strike out all to the period in line 

 14, and insert in lieu thereof : "one member designated by the Council on En- 

 vironmental Quality, and four members appointed by the President as designated 

 by the National Governors Conference." 



Mr. TuNNEY. Mr. President, today we are considering the passage 

 of S. 586, amendments to the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 

 which will provide funds for the States adversely impacted by energy 

 development and production in our national coastal waters. 



The bill's major provisions designate assistance programs for those 

 States facing potential environmental, social, and economic impacts 

 resulting from energy-related developments on the shorelines. 



Additional language in the bill provides much-needed funds for re- 

 search and technical assistance for the coastal States to implement 

 feasible coastal plans. Also, the bill provides the means to facilitate 

 interstate coordination of management policies and programs and for 

 the acquisition of lands to establish estuarine sanctuaries and encourage 

 the preservation of environmentally sensitive areas. 



The Federal responsibility for CZJNI funding is raised from the 

 present 66% percent to bring it in line with other 80 percent grant 

 projects.
