Luke Popovich, vice-president of external communications for the NATIONAL MINING ASSOCIATION, objected to assertions in last weeks online editorial column. Your magazine seriously misrepresents the position of the National Mining Association and the U.S. mining industry with respect to current congressional efforts to reform the Mining Law. Contrary to your assertions, NMA does not support Rep. Nick Rahall's proposed legislation for reforming the law, nor do we support the royalty as described in his legislation.
