Mr. Speaker, it's nice to hear the House Majority finally talking about the importance of infrastructure jobs. They claim this bill will create thousands of jobs from one project-- the Keystone Pipeline extension. However, America has…

I would yield back to our leader on this important block of time. I would yield my time back to Senator Sanders. We are determined to get this done right for the American people.

I yield myself another 30 seconds. This bill is filled with loopholes and riders and special interest provisions. It's a very bad process to bring this bill to the House floor. Some of the provisions that came out of our committee never…
