siilar Affairs. If we had any rabbits in the bill to try to raid the Treas- 

 ury, it would not be through coastal zone management. 



it would interest the distinguished Senator from Arkansas to know 

 tliere never has been passed a land use act, and the administration in 

 fiscal year 1974 provided $20 million to administer a law that had not 

 even passed, and we have been lucky to get $12 million to administer 

 coastal zone management which has been on the books for the last 3 

 years since 1972. 



This has been a very frugal progTam with no Treasury raiding and 

 no devious ways. The Senator is closing out what we all saw and what 

 he has seen. 



Our energy endeavors here to promulgate a program to deal with 

 energ}' facility impacts and facilitate and accelerate the offshore drill- 

 ing by saying, yes as to energy-related manufacturing and assembling, 

 and otherAvise, as to these offshore platfonns. It is a tremendous en- 

 deavor we need in that area, and if there is to be an impact, there 

 should be compensation to those States that have no control on Federal 

 decisions. 



jNIr. BiDEN-. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for two questions ? 



Mr. HoLLiNGS. Yes. I yield to the Senator from Delaware (Mr. 

 Bidon). 



'Sir. BroEX. The first question is in line 18, subsection (1) it says 

 "which are or will be directly used in the extraction, conversion, stor- 

 age, transfer, processing, or transporting of any energy resource." 



Does the distinguished chairman read that to encompass platform 

 production ? 



Mr. HoLLiNGS. Yes, not solely. Not exclusively, but yes. 



-Mr. BuDEX. But it would encompass platform construction? 



]\Ir. HoLLiNGS. Yes. 



Mr. BiDEX. The second question is under subsection (2), the part 

 that my distinguished colleague from Arkansas wishes deleted, he 

 cited an example. He said if in fact there is a Westinghouse plant in 

 the coastal zone area, which manufactures turbines, and ships those 

 to some other State in the interior, that they get the benefit of this 

 bill. Is that correct? 



Mr. HoLLiisros. That is correct. That is in the law today. 



'Mr. BiDEX. They would get that. 



Mr. HoLLiNGS. Yes. but should you get a land use bill, should you 

 <ret a utility siting bill — and we have interposed no objection — when 

 Kentucky comes around and agrees to an overall plan, then they will 

 have a mechanism to seek similar aid. 



Mr. Ford. ^Ir. President, will the Senator from South Carolina 

 yield to the Senator from Kentucky ? 



j\f r. HoLLTXGS. I am delighted to. 



Mr. Ford. As to the $1.2 billion we are going to spread around to 

 orrvy State the Senator mentioned earlier, we are looking for that. We 

 are not worried about voting on the siting bill. 



Mr. BiDF.x. If I mav ask a followup question then, it is: If in fact, 

 fir«t. platforms are covered bv a portion that is not being attemDted 

 to be eliminated and if in fact, second, the example that a plant which 

 produced something relating to energy that is not beincf used in the 

 cop.stal zone would get this benefit, then it seems to me that the Senator 

 from Arkansas has a valid point.
