Tidelands Bill Clears House Action
Washington June 26 A bill to grant states ownership of tidelands beneath marginal seas cleared for House debate. The House Rules Committee set four hours of general debate with floor amendments. Speaker Rayburn indicated no timing yet. Sabath said the measure would be vetoed by the President and likely again. The bill seeks state control of oil rich tidelands despite Supreme Court rulings that the federal government holds mineral rights. Earlier California and later Louisiana Texas rulings affirmed federal supremacy. The measure previously passed the House but failed in the Senate.
