Fourteen witnesses representing both management and labor side of the coal industry, the railroads, administration and port authorities, and a South Korean iron and steel manufacturer testified on the prospects of US coal exports and improving the competitiveness of US coal in world markets. The goal is to increase US job opportunities as well as domestic energy security. Continuing efforts to achieve these goals include deepening and improving deep ports and advancing coal technology to reduce environmental limitations on coal use. The witnesses reviewed recent changes in international coal trade and progress made toward clean coal technology. The Koreans emphasized their need for reliable supplies for their industrial expansion. Two appendices follow the testimony.
