C.L. Otter said "yesterday, joined by my colleagues, the gentleman from Idaho, (Mr. Simpson) and the gentleman from Nevada (Mr. Gibbons), I introduced H.R. 4971, the Support of the American Silver Bullion Production Act. This bill will allow the U.S. Mint to continue its production of the American eagle silver dollar, the most popular silver coin in the world. The Sunshine Mint Company in my district produces the blanks for these coins, and employs 60 of my constituents. Idaho is the greatest silver producer in history, mining more than 1.1 billion ounces since 1884. Passage of this bill into law will allow us, number one, to meet the worldwide demand for bullion; number two, to continue to build on the $264 million that this program has contributed to the deficit reduction; and, finally, to preserve the connection between Idaho's Silver Valley and our Nation's coinage." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
