Mr. President, this motion to commit will send this bill back to the Foreign Relations Committee to include authorization of the Keystone XL Pipeline in the final bill. In fact, as we saw earlier this morning, the Keystone XL Pipeline has bipartisan support. Here is the difference. This morning's amendment vote was a 60-vote threshold. This is a simple majority.

The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from New Jersey.
