We are not asking any particular support for the sick coal industry. but I feel that the pending bill is a necessary measure. and I am very happy to lend my support to it. However. there is a provision in the bill affecting the coal industry. There is a long amendment which provides quota restrictions governing the importation of residual oil. which affects the production of coal in West Virginia. We also have an aluminum industry. which is suffering from foreign competition. but we are not asking for any help this year. Perhaps in the future we shall be asking similar help for the aluminum industry. which is so necessary to national defense.
