“we are blessed to have with us my friend and colleague from West Virginia, Senator Manchin. No one fights harder for the working folks than Senator Manchin. No one fought harder to make sure we were able to protect the healthcare benefits of our retired mine workers. We worked together on that nonstop to make sure that promise was kept, and Senator Manchin has continued to work nonstop to protect the pensions of these mine workers and of so many others, like of the Central States. Senator Manchin has been kind enough to join us this afternoon, and we look forward to his remarks. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from West Virginia.”
