HINORITY Sen. Dewey Bartlett ·Feels Fordls program to have a "disastrous negative impact" (Okla.) upon the "goal of increasing the supply of domestic energy. The program means higher costs to consumers and effectively lower prices to producers. It guarantees consumers less energy supplies instead of more energy supplies at a time of a severe _ energy shortage when imports of high cost foreign crude oil, because of the unfavorable balance of trade, and for other reasons must be reduced sharply. The administration's program aggravates our energy shortages. 11 CR - Jan. 24

Introduced H.R. 1777 (6 Co-sponsors) to amend the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 to suspend until no later than June 30, 1976, Federal Oil and Gas leasing in areas seaward of State coastal zones. Referred to Merchant Marine and Fisheries and Interior and Insular Affairs. Jan 23. 1:. Rep. Robert Bauman "Under present economic conditions coastal States will have to (Md.) scrap hard to finance present levels of governmental services. The failure of the Federal Government to provide these States with a fair share of revenues received from OCS activities will cause serious fiscal cries in many areas. Because of this, I am today introducing amendments to the Coastal Zone Management Act which I believe will insure the orderly expansion of needed energy resources, protect our coastal zones, and financially assist the coastal States which bear thedirect impact of OCS a activities." "I have three reservations with the administra tion's development of the OCS leasing program: First. They have failed to coordinate leasing plans with the States which will be most seriously affected. Second. They have ignored the congressional intent expressed in the Coastal Zone Management Act which calls for coordination of Federal and State Government policies involving the coastal zone. and,Third. They have not taken into account the future costs to States and local govern ment which will result from onshore development." CR - Jan. 24
