Mr, Chairman, I would just like to make one small point in opposi- 

 tion to the amendment pending before this body. 



We, on the committee, visited a village of 240 people, the village of 

 Yakntat, Alaska, and the visit of the committee had an impact on that 

 community that was difficult to handle. They already are facing the 

 kind of impact that this section is designed to try to alleviate. This 

 is not meant for any purpose but just to give them the front-end 

 money so they will have the local facilities to handle it. We expect this 

 to be successful so that over the term they are going to be able to pay 

 off those bonds easily. 



But if they do not have the bonding capacity at the outset, it would 

 devastate a community such as this. There are other communities 

 around the country that are in the same position. 



[Mr. Forsythe addressed the Committee. His remarks will appear 

 hereafter in the Extensions of Remarks.] 



The Chairman. The question is on the amendment offered by the 

 gentleman from California (Mr. Ketchum). 



The amendment was rejected. 



The Chairman. The question is on the committee amendment in the 

 nature of a substitute, as amended. 



The committee amendment in the nature of a substitute, as amended, 

 was agreed to. 



The Chairman. Under the rule, the Committee rises. 



Accordingly the Committee rose ; and the Speaker having resumed 

 the Chair, Mr. Bergland, Chairman of the Committee of the Whole 

 House on the State of the Union, reported that that Committee, having 

 had under consideration the bill (H.R. 8981) to amend the Coastal 

 Zone Management Act of 1972 to authorize and assist the coastal States 

 to study, plan for, manage, and control the impact of energy resource 

 development and production which affects the coastal zone, and ior 

 other purposes, pursuant to House Resolution 1088, he reported the 

 bill back to the House with an amendment adopted by the Committee 

 of the Whole. 



The Speaker. Under the rule, the previous question is ordered. 



Is a separate vote demanded on any amendment to the committee 

 amendment in the nature of a substitute adopted in the Committee of 

 tlie Whole ? If not, the question is on the amendment. 



The amendment was agreed to. 



The Speaker. The question is on the engrossment and third reading 

 of the bill. 



The bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time, and was 

 read the third time. 



The Speaker. The question is on the passage of the bill. 



The question was taken ; and the Speaker announced that the ayes 

 appeared to have it. 



Mr. Ketchi m. Mr. Speaker, I object to the vote on the ground that 

 a quorum is not present and make the point of order that a quorum is 

 not present. 



The Speaker. Evidently a quorum is not present. 



The Sergeant at Anns will notify absent IMembers.
