Main points of difference be

The state bill contains no reser
vations of federal emergency pow
ers within the three-mile limit.
. Inland waters—the federal bill
does not specifically include the
Great Lakes. The state bill cites
tfie Great Lakes in definite inland
waters subject to state control.
Division of Revenues
The federal bill would leave the
division of revenues up to Con
gress. The state measure would
give the states 62Vi: per cent and
the federal government 3714 per
cent of revenues from tidelands
within state jurisdiction, not in
cluding bays and harbors.
From the three mile-limit (10 V«
rtiiles from Texas) to the outer
edge of the continental shelf the
lease revenues would be divided
equally. The shelf extends about
six miles off the California coast,
but about 160 miles in the Gulf of
iMexico.
