I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. I certainly appreciate and respect the chairman's hard work in gathering up this bill. While I respectfully disagree with him that the bill adequately addresses tourism, I think a national committee…

But if you are a small 7-Eleven or a small convenience store and the bank takes your money and says it is your fault.

I understand from my old law school commercial paper about banks' liability for checks and they are supposed to recognize the signature and credit cards.

Even though it is the law?

This gold mine was closed, right?

You don't know if--you said that there are some surviving companies from this Gold King Mine.

I want to avoid this problem happening again.

Was anybody fired over this 3-million-gallon spill of toxic chemicals into this river?

Was anybody disciplined?

Have they been paying for the maintenance of the mine?

So if there is a mine on private property that is going to produce some toxic material, there is no Federal permitting requirement for that?

If there are viable parties still existing that mine this ore, don't they bear the ultimate financial responsibility for this?
