I have seen some articles appearing in different parts of the United States that are inaccurate on what is happening on mine safety, and so I wish to take a moment to clear up some of that confusion that has been caused by a breakdown in bipartisan negotiations on the mine safety legislation in this last week.

We do about 40 percent of all the Nation's coal, and my county accounts for most of that. We have 92 trains a day that leave our county. That is over 1 million tons of coal a day.
