WASHINGTON, DC--Hopes of finding more survivors of Monday's Senate Mine disaster are fading, as a second full day of rescue efforts proved futile Wednesday.
"We pray for the souls of each of these brave men, and we humbly thank them for toiling to provide our nation with badly needed laws and coal," Bush said. "We are with their loved ones in their time of grief and promise a full congressional investigation just as soon as the mine--and Congress itself--can be reconstructed."
