On the recordFebruary 13, 2019
I want to mention one more thing and then I will turn it over to my colleague, my friend from West Virginia, Senator Capito. The reason this is so urgent, our miners' pensions are in dire need. It goes first. They come to insolvency by 2022. What happens is we are one bankruptcy away--one bankruptcy from one coal company--of this thing tumbling down in 2019. When it starts tumbling, then you have the Central States that will come right behind it, the PBGC becomes insolvent, and then we have serious problems. That is why we are working with urgency for this to be adopted and fixed now. With that, I want to go ahead and turn it over to my friend and colleague, the Senator from West Virginia, Mrs. Capito.
