Not only did that eliminate 1,800 jobs, it also affected the family farms, the poultry people who are mortgaged to the hilt for their poultry houses, and their farms and they are not even included in there.

I hope that you will read the testimony of our witness that we had last week, Harry Alford, who is the president of the National Black Chamber of Commerce. It is not a matter of just losing jobs if we are to pass this bill, but it is…

There is some effort to do away from hydraulic fracturing, and it would be devastating.
