100,000 barrels per day would result in an inflow of 1,100 workers, a 

 population increase of 3,900, and indirect increase of 850 support work- 

 ers and an additional 850 schoolaged children. 



I would like now to take time and commend my distinguished collea- 

 gue Mr. HoUings and the staff of the Commerce Committee for the in- 

 novative and progressive language that is included in this legislation. 



Mr. President, I have cleared this amendment with both the floor 

 manager and the minority. 



Mr. Stevens. Will the Senator from South Carolina yield 1 minute 

 on this amendment? 



Mr. TuNNEY. I yield. 



Mr. HoLLiNGS. I yield. 



]Mr. Stevens. Mr. President, I am the author of this amendment 

 in the committee and I have discussed it with the Senator from Califor- 

 nia. He has a good suggestion. It provides balance between the States 

 and the Federal Government. I have talked it over with the Senator 

 from California. 



We see no objection to this amendment. I believe the Senator from 

 South Carolina — if I could have his attention — is prepared to accept 

 the amendment on behalf of the majority. I am certainly prepared to 

 accept it on behalf of the minority. 



jMr. HoLLiNGS. We discussed this with the distinguished Senator 

 from California, Mr. President. We think it is a good amendment. 



Mr. President, I yield to the Senator from Maine. 



Mr. Hathaway. Mr. President, I take this time just to ask the 

 Senator from South Carolina a few questions with respect to the funds 

 provided to the States for planting purposes. 



I am a little concerned. I understand about $50 million will be au- 

 thorized under section 308(a) for planning purposes. But in the bill 

 itself there are no criteria for guidance for the regulations which the 

 Secertary is ot promulgate as to how these funds should be allocated 

 to the coastal States and territories. 



First of all, I wonder if it developed during the hearings whether 

 the $50 million is an adequate amount for planning for these purposes. 



Mr. HoLLiNGS. Yes. I would answer very definitely that it is. Obvi- 

 ously, we had the budgetary restrictions in our mind at the time we 

 agreed upon this matter. There are several States — I named California 

 and the State of Florida. If the other States follow their pattern in 

 investments in planning for coastal zone matters, $50 million would not 

 be sufficient. But the point is that that amount of funds will be there. 

 They are annually authorized and they are annually to be reviewed 

 by the Appropriations Committee. We think that this is within the ball 

 park and can be approved by the administration, 



Mr. Hathaway. Will the Senator tell me why there are no criteria 

 in the bill itself to provide guidance to the Secretary of Commerce as 

 to the basis foi' handing out the planning funds? Presumably under 

 this he could give the whole $50 million to one State, if he wanted to. 



Mr. HoLLiNGS. The bill is within the budget estimate. 



Mr. Hathaway. But there are no criteria listed in the bill itself 

 to guide the Secretary of Commerce in his determination as to which 

 coastal State should get how much. Could he give two-thirds of the 

 money to one State if he so desired ?
