On the recordDecember 15, 2011
I thank the gentleman from Virginia. I'd like to just take the last couple of minutes to close here. What we have is a $7 billion infrastructure project for the United States of America that will immediately employ 20,000 workers. It's a 2-year-plus project. It will add--then, that's not even counting the spin-off jobs to support and to expand the refineries, the permanent jobs that will be created there. So I ask the people that are watching here today and the American public to let Congress know, to let the President know that it's important to you that we create jobs in America. This project, when approved, would start the next day moving ground, employing people. Let's do that. Let's get America back to work. Let's help create American jobs. I yield back the balance of my time.
