The total number of ocs lease sales held to date is 112, the most
recent being Central Gulf of Mexico Sale 142, held in March 1993. 
Of these 112 sales, 7 were sulphur, salt, or phosphate sales, and
hence are not included in the total 105 oil and gas sales shown
above.

*    Note that the reoffering Sale RS-2, held on August 5, 1982,
offered oil and gas tracts on the Alaska, Atlantic, and Pacific OCS
and is recorded as a separate sale within each of those Regions. 
However, Sale RS-2 is considered a single sale in the overall
statistical summary on OCS leasing.

Statistics on Central Gulf Sale 142 held March 24, 1993, are
omitted from this table pending the bid adequacy analysis.
