I don't know about the court case where it really raised some serious issues regarding the credibility behind the rule, itself. What I do know is that, by passing this bill today, we basically push the restart button so that the entities…

First, I want to mention to my friend from New Jersey that we have several bills, including that of the Keystone pipeline, sitting over in the Senate. They're bills that will create tens of thousands of jobs, maybe hundreds of thousands of…

First of all, let me thank the gentleman from Colorado for his leadership in holding this discussion tonight. This is a very important discussion because it is about a fundamental American principle. As you mentioned, over a year ago, we…

Well, I appreciate it. I hope that we continue to hold more conversations about this because America needs to know. America is already speaking. And that is evident in the number of Members who are deeply interested in this bill.

The language that we're discussing at this current time is allowing the Keystone pipeline a path forward. It's based on a bill I introduced back in September, which is H.R. 3548. Keep in mind that the President of the United States killed…

I claim the time in opposition to the amendment. The CHAIR. The gentleman from Nebraska is recognized for 5 minutes.

Will the gentleman yield so I can answer the question? The answer to that question would be that each State has set up a due process law----

They don't take. * * * The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Nebraska will suspend. The time of the gentleman from Illinois has expired. Announcement by the Acting Chair The Acting CHAIR. Members should not interject remarks after the…

None of us are smiling over the fact that the President killed the pipeline that would have created 20,000 jobs and that would have provided us a newer level of energy security. This amendment, in essence, is a way of killing this…

So, politics of the extreme put us in this position. But let's ask, who benefits from this oil coming into the United States from our partner, Canada, and being refined and used in the United States of America? If we have this, everyone…

I yield myself such time as I may consume. This is one of those myths that we must try to dispel. I guess if you say it enough times, some people will start believing it. But the reality is, why would you build a pipeline 1,700 miles…

It is simply not possible to spend money on investments that don't increase the productivity of the economy and expect to get a net increase in the economy, or even a net zero.

I thank the gentleman, my good friend from New Jersey, for the time and for his courageous leadership on this, a central American issue of justice. Mr. Speaker, let me say this first. What a day this has been. I spent the morning with a…

Why are many of us on the House floor tonight after regular business talking about the Keystone Pipeline? Because it's a win-win--20,000 immediate contracting support jobs for the construction of a 1,700-mile pipeline from Alberta, Canada…

On rollcall No. 947 I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea.'' Stated against:

Yesterday marked the official end of America's 9-year war in Iraq. In a low-key ceremony in Baghdad, U.S. troops lowered the American flag of command that flew over the Iraqi capital. The 4,000 remaining U.S. servicemembers in Iraq will…

I thank the gentleman from Texas. I do appreciate your insight and your support. Let me take this opportunity--we've had two speakers already that have talked in support of the Keystone pipeline. Now let me give kind of a tutorial of what…

I thank the gentleman from Virginia. I'd like to just take the last couple of minutes to close here. What we have is a $7 billion infrastructure project for the United States of America that will immediately employ 20,000 workers. It's a…
