“I came to the floor to speak about Richard Cordray's nomination to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, but I wish to acknowledge the remarks of Senator Manchin. We have coal miners in my great State of Colorado. They are particularly located in the northwestern section of our State. They are hardworking. They are patriotic. We have some of the cleanest coal in the world. It is used all over our country and exported to many countries around the world. I thank him for his remarks and for drawing attention to their accomplishments and their contributions to America.”
