Scope and Contents

The letter is from the president of McAlester Fuel Company regarding proposed legislation on mine safety. The company operates open cut and strip coal mines and argues that federal inspection and control should not be applied to these types of mines as they do not pose the same hazards as underground mines. The company has leased land for lignite mining in Texas and believes that lignite could be an important factor in the industrial development of the state. The letter urges careful consideration of the legislation before making a decision.
