Political Quotes

“Senator Hoeven will speak for 1 minute. I will speak for 1 minute, and I would ask that I be notified when I run of out of my minute. Mr. President, this is the most important vote of the night. It is 2:41, so pay attention here. The Keystone Pipeline would create good-paying jobs and bring much needed revenue to rural counties in Eastern Montana. These counties have been hard-hit by the pandemic. They have also been hard-hit by trade wars that have impacted our agricultural community. So they need the tax base, and this XL Pipeline would give them the tax base. Look, there is no doubt the pipeline needs to be built responsibly with American steel to the highest safety standards to respect private property rights and to include significant consultation with Native American Tribes. But the fact is, we have many pipelines to go across the border between Canada and the United States. This is just one. I would ask you to support this amendment. Senator Hoeven. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from North Dakota.”
