Dear Mr. President:
Re: H.R. 776 - VETO REQUEST
While recognizing the eventual need for sound new energy legislation, I
am upset that no corrective action has been taken to ameliorate gross
inequities that would be brought about by the bill's "reachback" provision
pertaining to coal industry health benefits. We have pointed out these
inequities to various members of Congress and representatives of the
Administration. For this reason alone, I urge you to veto this bill.
Moreover, an unjust reachback provision, the terrible precedent of
government intervention in this type of matter, and questions about the
bill's revenue provisions, are ample reasons to recognize the fact that
this nation is not in such critical need of new energy legislation in 1992
to enact H.R. 776.
Very truly yours,
M.Moone M. Thomas Moore
Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer
