Republican leaders urged the House to set aside its tidelands bill and accept the Senate version to send the measure to President Eisenhower for signature. The push aims to avoid a conference and further Senate battles while granting coastal states title to submerged lands to historic boundaries and confirming federal control beyond, with the House plan supporting broader federal machinery for shelf development.
