Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the American Energy Solutions for Lower Costs and More American Jobs Act. This bill is a substantive step towards more affordable energy prices and job creation across the country. Today's average gas price of $3.28 is well up from the $2.35 per gallon in 2009. Not only are gas prices up, but so too are the prices of groceries and the prices for heating and cooling your home. Among other important measures, this bill would approve the Keystone pipeline. Friday marks 6 years of delays on Keystone by this administration. That is too long for a job-creating measure. Domestic energy production helps middle class Americans with their everyday costs. Vote ``yes'' for the middle class. Vote ``yes'' for jobs and more affordable energy. Vote ``yes'' on this bill.
