01/23/06U.S. Rep. Nick Rahall issued the following statement today in response to the recent mining tragedy in Melville, West Virginia.
"West Virginians have seen much more than their share of heartache in recent weeks. My thoughts and prayers are with our mining communities in Logan County, Upshur County, and our entire State.
