mr. jenkins, for five minutes. mr. jenkins: thank you, mr. speaker. my home state of west virginia has almost 20,000 coal miners. tens of thousands more work in the mines. and are now enjoying a well deserved retirement. they proudly mined the coal that powers our nation and it puts food on their table. these miners worked hard each and every day, and we owe them a debt of gratitude. our nation made them a promise to take care of them if they developed black lung disease. and for decades now the federal law, the federal government has guaranteed black lung benefits. and the so-called byrd amendment seven years ago reiterated that commitment to our miners. as we draft health care reform here in congress, i urge my colleagues to maintain these essential benefits, the essential black lung benefits for our miners and their families. i have introduced legislation to affirm our commitment to protecting the byrd amendment and these critical black lung benefits. i introduced it last congress, too, and i'm committed for continuing to fight for it because we ca

mr. jenkins: thank you, mr. chairman. mr. speaker, i rise in support of this resolution. like so many folks, i've been fighting this misguided rule for years. miners have been fighting this rule for years, and states, bipartisan, democrat and republican, have been fighting this rule for years. stopping this rule matters to west virginians, to our miners, to our families, to our consumers. we produce 95% of our electricity from coal. it's reliable and it's affordable. coal employs 20,000 west virginians and tens of thousands more make their living related to coal. the loss of a coal job and the closing of a coal mine affects us all. its tax revenues pays for our schools, police and fire departments and puts money in the coffers of our local governments. this rule would cost cities and counties $6.4 billion in tax revenue over a year. with the decline in the coal mining. that means even more cuts. when we lose coal jobs we lose other jobs as well. when coal families lose a paycheck, they aren't able to buy goods and services like they used to. that hurts small businesses, o
