Cory Gardner

I want to thank both of my colleagues from New York and Texas for joining us tonight. We are out of time, but I appreciate the opportunity to address the House with your expertise and your leadership and know that we are fighting for the…

And not only were you talking about millions and billions of dollars that were spent on trying to go forward to produce energy in an area that was already approved to produce energy, but they were blocked by the bureaucratic process. They…

That's true. And one of the biggest challenges we face, as you mentioned, is the possibility that we could lose out on one of this Nation's great works, the Trans Alaska Pipeline, if we don't properly take care of it and make sure that we…

Yes. We are taking nearly 1 million barrels of oil a day. That's almost enough to replace our imports from Saudi Arabia. So between the two, the Keystone pipeline and the Beaufort Chukchi Sea development, I mean, we're talking…

The additional water storage that Colorado requires can only be realized by rethinking the way the Federal government works.

Water is an economic driver. In order to attract more growth to the western United States... every industry depends upon an ample water supply.

Conservation alone cannot meet these demands. We have an obligation to prepare this country's future generations by storing water.

I thank the gentleman for his time tonight, and again, as we wrap up our discussion, we will just highlight the support the Keystone pipeline has across this country. Again, you can see the people who believe that job creation, American…

Thank you, the gentleman from South Carolina, getting to the passion which so many Members have tonight throughout this fight to create American jobs. I yield to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Griffith) who has also been a leader when it…

Again, to the American people, we've heard asked often by Members of this body: Where are the jobs? I think we need to start asking: Why not these jobs? I thank the gentleman from Texas. With that, I yield to the gentleman from South…

I thank the gentleman for his leadership tonight. Before he leaves the Chamber and before I yield to the gentleman from South Carolina, I think it's, again, important to talk about something that you mentioned in the very beginning of your…

I thank the gentlelady for being here tonight and discussing the impact on her district with the Keystone pipeline. She brings up a good point when it comes to the price of gas. Reports that we have say that the discovery of the Canadian…

Reclaiming my time, I understand there are some big concerns from Boston, there are concerns in Houston, and there are some concerns in Los Angeles; but, I can tell you in rural Colorado, in rural America, there are grave concerns that…

I thank the gentleman. The empirical evidence that I go on comes from the groups in Colorado that know this issue the best--the farmers and ranchers that I represent. Here's just a listing of a few of the organizations that support this…

I think I know that if I stub my toe, it's going to hurt before I do it. We ought to be able to check out whether or not it's going to cost jobs before we do it.

Thank you very much for the time and consideration. Again, we did adopt an amendment that actually takes a look at the regulation before it's offered.

America's job creators, the plan that we have come up with to get this economy moving forward again, it's embodied in the forgotten 15, and the other bills that we have passed to join the forgotten 15 are piling up in the United States…

The statistics speak for themselves. Two million people, the number of net jobs the economy shed from February of 2009 when the stimulus was passed. Are you hearing the same thing in the great State of Washington?

I thank you. I'd be curious to hear from my colleagues tonight. Over the 55 town meetings that I've held, I've never heard somebody come up to me and say, hey, when is the government going to start creating all of these jobs to replace 15…

I thank the gentleman from Colorado. I was speaking to a pharmacist the other day. You mentioned the issue of regulations, what it's doing to business, and they actually wanted to create a little different business model for their pharmacy…

I thank the gentleman from Kansas. One of the most common things I hear at town meetings is the issue of uncertainty in our economy, and the issue that regulations are forcing businesses to make decisions not to hire new people, but to…

I have a question for the gentleman, if he would entertain it. You're talking about, what you're holding in your hand, that is this week, that's just 1 week, 1 day of regulations?

I thank the gentleman from Illinois. I know in Colorado that my neighbor the gentleman from Kansas has done tremendous work on getting this country back economically and what he's doing to create jobs. I yield to the gentleman from Kansas.

And thank you for the points that you raised. Talking about the EPA and the regulations they've issued, I had the opportunity at a committee hearing several months ago, the Energy and Commerce Committee, to discuss with the assistant…

I thank both the lady from Alabama and the gentleman from Illinois who rightfully pointed out that with the addition of the bills that passed the House just today, we have added to the forgotten 15 bills that are creating jobs, that have…
