There was a boss at UBB by the name of Dean Jones, who perished, that wanted to bring his crew out. Not once, but several times because they had no air. He was told if you do so, then bring your bucket and look for another job. This man and his crew stayed because he needed his job, even if his life was in danger. Because of these men being threatened, they are now dead.

May I have the time remaining, please. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from West Virginia has 1 minute remaining, and the gentleman from Pennsylvania has 6 minutes remaining.

I assume the chairman has the right to close. Is that right? The SPEAKER pro tempore. That is correct.
