Amos Robertson v. Joseph A. Califano, Jr., Sec. Of Health, Education & Welfare

Amos Robertson [claimant] appeals from a final order of the district court affirming a decision of the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare that he was not entitled to “black lung” benefits sought pursuant to the regulations enacted under Part B of the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969, as amended, 30 U.S.C. § 901 et seq.
