Thank you very much for putting in your budget all the efforts to save the coal miners' pension fund.

How in the world are we going to compete on a global basis if you are increasing the tax on a domestic product?

You cannot say that we lose money because BP is now paying their fines and penalties.

I am offended, I really am. And a lot of people in the Gulf Coast are offended.

To add insult to injury, you proposed a well control rule.

I would like to add my support to Mr. Cartwright's RECLAIM Act, which is bipartisan.

Let's point out the judge set aside that delisting because... those scientifically managed plans did not happen.

When the whole thing went bankrupt, there were a lot of people that were just desperate in southwest Virginia and across the country, who spent their lives mining coal who suddenly had no pension or health benefits to look forward to.

It is imperative that some of the existing debt be written off in order to get it to a balanced.

Exxon-Mobil has come out for a carbon tax, carbon pricing.

Thank you, Madam Chairman--Chairwoman.
