(13) Congressman McKeon was instrumental in 
CEMEX and the city of Santa Clarita entering into 
an agreement (entitled the ‘‘Principles of Coopera-
tion’’) on January 8, 2007, which was renewed eight 
times and expired on May 31, 2012. The Principles 
of Cooperation governed the conduct between the 
two parties, ensured that no mining permits were 
initiated at any level, and ensured that all parties 
would work toward a mutually favorable legislative 
solution.

McKeon was informed by the Chairman of the Com-
mittee on Natural Resources of the House of Rep-

ington, that H.R. 4332 (111th Congress) was con-
sidered a congressional earmark under the Rules of 
the House of Representatives for the 112th Con-
gress.
