In July 1981, as a matter of highest national priority, Watt announced a program to lease nearly all of the outer shelf, a total of a billion acres, in five years. He offered up huge tracts (as much as 40 million acres at a time) and cut the period between announcement of a lease to actual sale from 42 months to 22 months.
