[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 152 (2006), Part 4] [House] [Page 4479] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]{time} 1500 WELCOME HOME, RANDAL McCLOY (Mrs. CAPITO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.) Mrs. CAPITO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to welcome Randal McCloy back to his home in Simpson, West Virginia. Randal was one of the 13 miners trapped in the Sago mine on January 2 and was the lone survivor. He suffered severe injuries to his heart, lungs, and kidneys and was in a coma for several weeks due to a lack of oxygen during the 40 hours he was trapped below the surface. With all of the sadness West Virginians have experienced in the coal fields this year, today we can rejoice that Randal has recovered enough to leave the rehabilitative hospital and return home to his family and friends. West Virginians have come together over the past 3 months to offer prayers and support for the families of those who have lost loved ones. The families of the Sago miners have made our State proud, advocating for increased mine safety tools to help ensure other families do not experience the tragedy they have endured. But today is the McCloys' day. We continue to support Randal McCloy; his wife, Anna; and their children as their family's road to recovery continues, and we will always remember the sacrifice made by his 12 co- workers. ____________________
