The House of Representatives will vote on the Supplemental Mine Improvement and New Emergency Act (S-MINER ACT), H.R. 2768, this week. It will change standards, create conflicting obligations and add needless confusion to our efforts to comply with the changes made last year. A letter we sent to the Congressional delegation last week is below for your information.
Please call one or all of our Congressmen/woman to ask they oppose the S-MINER ACT this week. Their telephone numbers in Washington are:
Nick Joe Rahall – 1-202-225-3452
Shelley Moore Capito – 1-202-225-2711
Alan Mollohan – 1-202-225-4172
If additional information is needed or would be helpful, do not hesitate to contact us at 304-342-4153.
