disao^reement. This has not been the case with HEW and it will blow 

 the lid oflp some of the civil rights hearings going on in California 

 right now. 



Is there any place in this bill or in the law which provides that when 

 there are disagreements they will be resolved in the State where they 

 occur ? 



Mr. Murphy of New York. We appreciate the gentleman bringing 

 this out so that the Record today will sjdcII it out for the Secretary 

 of Commerce, who will have jurisdiction in this area, that we intend 

 the local county or municipality, whichever be the case, will 'be the 

 place where the hearings will be held. 



Mr. Ketchum. I appreciate the gentleman bringing this out. 



Mr. Du PoxT. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman 

 from New Jersey (Mrs. Fen wick). 



(Mrs. Fexwick asked and was given permission to revise and ex- 

 tend her remarks.) 



Mrs. Fexwick. Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman for yielding. 



My State is a coastal State. I rise in support of this excellent piece 

 of legislation, not only important in the energy field, but in many 

 States with recreation areas. These constitute the biggest industry we 

 have in our State. I am heartily in favor of this bill, but I cannot let 

 this moment pass without a word, not only to the chairman of the sub- 

 committee, the gentleman from New York (Mr. Murphy) and the 

 gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Mosher), whom w^e are losing, but also 

 the chairman of the committee, the distinguished gentlewoman from 

 Missouri (Mrs. Sullivan). 



Mr. Chairman, it is sad to come here as a freshman and lose some- 

 one who has been an example, a guide, a help to all of us freshmen in 

 this Congress. The example of hard work, hard dedicated work, that 

 the gentlewoman has given is impressive. I am sure her constituency 

 knows it and I am sure everyone in this Congress does. We are very, 

 very sorry to see the distinguished gentlewoman (Mrs. Sullivan) go. 



Mrs. Sullivan. Mr. Chairman, I yield such time as he may consume 

 to the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Breaux). 



Mr. Breaux. Mr. Chairman, I would like to take this opportunity 

 to also rise in support of the bill and commend the chairman of our 

 full committee for the job the gentlewoman has done in guiding this 

 bill and many, many other bills, through this Congress and to say 

 "Thank you" on the part of my district that I represent for the 

 excellent job the gentlewoman has done. 



I might say also, the bill came from the committee with a 36 to 

 unanimous vote and that was only accomplished by presenting such a 

 realistic bill that the Congress can pass and the President can sign. 



Mrs. SuLLivAX'. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman 

 from West Virginia (Mr. Slack) . 



Mr. Slack (asked and w^as given permission to revise and extend 

 his remarks.) 



Mr. Slack. Mr. Chairman, later today during proceedings under the 

 5-minute rule I will offer two amendments on behalf of the Appro- 

 priations Committee, which we have worked out with the managei"S 

 of the bill and other members of the Merchant Marine and Fisheries 

 Committee, and especially the Subcommittee on Oceanography.
