I thank the gentleman. And the point that you just made and that our colleague from Kentucky made--it's not simply a war on coal, it's a war on American jobs. It's a war on the American way of life. We have to stand. Mr. Speaker, I'm proud now to yield to another one of our colleagues who--no one in the House knows more about the impacts of the coal industry to the economy of her State and her region than does our colleague from West Virginia, Representative Shelley Moore Capito.
