Lantaff then proposed an
amendment to the initial bin
which would eliminate condcm-
nation of land and remove the
potential threat to property own
crs who might lose their homes

Lantaff suggested that dele
gates from the Keys come to
Washington to discuss the
amended bill and the landholders'
views. Curry wrote him. after
a meeting with the officials Of
the association, that if a NOM
Der made the trip, the expense
would have TO come from the
