Mr. HoLLiNGS. No, I do not think that would be at all equitable. We 

 are hereby amending the original Coastal Zone Management Act. 

 Therein they have the criteria for the Secretary on section 305 plan- 

 ning and they have the criteria also with respect to section 306 grants 

 under the original act. I think such new criteria should, at a minimum 

 include the extent of the activity in regard to leasing, the length of the 

 coastline of each State, the potential other resource uses for the costal 

 area, potential facility development, the relative economic develop- 

 ment of a State wliich will be affected by the facility or activity and its 

 potential for coping with those impacts. 



So it is just not depending on who is Secretary as to the rules and 

 regulations. We already have these existing rules and regulations 

 promulgated by the Secertary which should be augmented by this new 

 criteria. 



Mr. Hathaway. And these old criteria take into consideration the 

 relative length of the coastline and probable impact, and so forth ? 



Mr. HoLLiNGS. Very definitely ; yes, sir. 



Mr. Hathaway. I thank the Senator. 



Mr. HoLLiNGER. Mr. President, I yield back the remainder of my 

 time. 



Mr. TuNNEY. I yield back the remainder of my time. 



The PREsmiNG Officer. All time having been yielded back, the 

 question is on agreeing to the amendment. 



The amendment was agreed to. 



Mr. Hansen. Mr. President, I have an amendment at the desk, and 

 I ask for its immediate consideration. 



The Presiding Officer. The amendment will be stated. 



The legislative clerk read as follows : 



Mr. Hansen, on behalf of himself and Senators Burdick and Mon- 

 toya, offers the following amendment : "On page 28, after line 20, add 

 the following new subsection." 



Mr. Hansen. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that further 

 reading of the amendment be dispensed with. 



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



The amendment is as follows : 



On page 28, after line 20. add the following new subsection : 



<n). Section 35 of the Act of February 25, 1920 (41 Stat. 450), as amended (30 

 tr.S.C. 191), is further amended by deleting "52% per centum thereof shall be 

 paid into, reserved" and inserting in lieu thereof : "30 per centum thereof shall 

 be paid into, reserved", and is further amended by striking the period at the end 

 of the provision and inserting in lieu thereof the following language : 



"And. provided further, that an additional 221^ per centum of all moneys re- 

 ceived from sales, bonuses, royalties, and rentals of public lands under the pro- 

 visions of this chapter shall be paid by the Secretary of the Treasury as soon 

 as practicable after December 31 and June 30 of each year to the State within 

 the boundaries of which the leased lands or deposits are or were located ; said 

 additional 22^2 per centum of all moneys paid to any State on or after Janu- 

 ary 1, 1976. shall be used by such State and its subdivisions as the legislature of 

 the State may direct giving priority to those subdivisions of the State socially or 

 economically impacted by development of minerals leased under this Act for (1) 

 planning, (2) consrtuction and maintenance of public facilities, and (3) provision 

 of public services." 



]Mr. Hansen. Mr. President, essentially what this does is to amend 

 the 1920 Mineral leasing law to provide for a larger share of the funds 

 that are derived from the production of those minerals which are fed-
