I yield myself the balance of my time, and I will do my best to capsulize. Mr. Chairman, it was the President, when he was a candidate, that said that his policies, if enacted, would cost coal jobs. For nearly 4 years we have seen evidence of that, and the latest example of that was when Alpha Coal Company laid off 1,200 people, citing the regulations that the President said he would promulgate. This is a good bill. I urge its adoption. I yield back the balance of my time.
