"The first newspaper I got when I got back there was, dark day for miners. They just announced that 2,268 coalmining jobs were lost."

"Just in 3 years. Three years 45 percent of our coalminers are looking for work."

"Well, but keep in mind too, Mr. Secretary, you know that coalminers average age is going to be in their 50s."

"So if you are sitting in the kitchen with this 55-year-old that just lost his job, he has been working 30 years in a coalmine, what do you tell him?"
