Senate Lists Provisions Of Offshore Oil Bill
Washington—(U.P.)Here are the major provisions of the Senate's Tidelands oil bill passed in the Senate yesterday after five weeks of debate to give coastal states ownership of oil-rich offshore lands.

ing seaward of the state area is confirmed.
9. Former President Truman's order setting aside the submerged lands as a naval oil reserve is revoked.
(The tidelands bill previously passed by the house is similar in most respects. The principal difference is that it provides the necessary legal authority for the federal government to grant oil leases and otherwise administer the outer continental shelf. The senate plans to take up this question in subsequent legislation.)
