a statement too strong and he didn't mean that at all, it doesn't make a very good case on which anybody can operate.

Thank you very much.

Mr. EDMONDSON (now presiding). Any further questions? I would like to apologize to the subcommittee and also the witnesses for being absent a good part of the time and thank my colleague, Congressman Baring, for taking the chair. We had ceremonies on the Appalachia bill and they were a little late getting started.

Mr. ASPINALL. Off the record.

(Off the record.)

Mr. BURTON of Utah. Mr. Chairman, I would just like the record to show that I did have some questions I wanted to ask. This seemed like a pretty ambitious report to me and I would like to have found out, for example, just exactly what the Office of Coal Research had to do with developing coal-fired gas turbines and I would like to have found out exactly what the Coal Research Laboratory in the chairman's home State has done for us lately, and some other things. But I had to attend another committee meeting and I won't belabor the committee or the witness with some of these questions now, but

Mr. EDMONDSON. If the gentleman would like to place the questions and ask that written responses be submitted or if he would like to prepare the questions

Mr. BURTON of Utah. If the Chair would permit, I would like to ask Mr. Rosenbaum if he wouldn't turn in a report to the committee as to exactly what this Coal Research Laboratory in Denver has been doing and what, if any, new development they have come up with in recent years, what new markets are they working on for coal, and I would like to have a statement of exactly what the Coal Research Laboratory had to do with the coal-fired gas turbines.

Mr. ROSENBAUM. I will be glad to do that, but I will explain the Office of Coal Research within the Department of the Interior is not the same as the Bureau of Mines. Two separate operations. I

wish to make sure Mr. Burton understands that.

Mr. EDMONDSON. Do you have anything to add?

Mr. BURTON of Utah. Does this come because of the work that possibly had been done, as you mentioned earlier, on turbines?

Mr. ROSENBAUM. Yes; the Office of Coal Research has no connection with the coal-fired turbine at all.

Mr. BURTON of Utah. I understand.

Mr. EDMONDSON. Thank you very much, Mr. Rosenbaum, Mr. Mem

mott.

The subcommittee stands adjourned.

(Whereupon, at 11:50 a.m., the subcommittee adjourned.)
