The bill that we are discussing today needs more work in order to accomplish these positive goals.

I hope we can work together to craft legislation that can help to site pipelines on public lands in a more thoughtful way.

This bill as written overturns the longstanding requirement for congressional approval of natural gas pipelines through national parks.

I think we could have a productive, bipartisan conversation about building natural gas pipelines when they are thoughtfully sited.
