WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rich Nolan, President and CEO of the National Mining Association (NMA), released the following statement concerning the passing of Mr. Robert E. Murray:
“Bob Murray was a force in the mining industry whose dedication to coal was unrivaled. All who knew him would agree – there was no one more passionate about the importance and value of coal, and the absence of his voice will be felt by many.
