"Congress should not be playing this role. The State Department should evaluate the proposal on its merits, not be ramrodded by Congress into approving a boondoggle for the oil industry."

"Mr. Waxman, you invited them and they refused to come?"

"This KXL scheme is equivalent to a $4 billion-a-year tax on the oil we are already getting from Canada."
