The point of those is to study the impacts, if there is a spill, to not only the soil, the ecosystem, but the Ogallala Aquifer as well. Three different studies have dealt with that. All have scientifically concluded that there is…

Stealing from individuals who have worked and saved their entire lives so that they may live in dignity during their golden years is nothing less than appalling.

The travel and tourism industry provides good middle-class domestic jobs almost by definition that can't be outsourced.

The jobs created when restaurants, hotels, and amusement parks grow are good, honest-paying jobs that can help our young people find work.

For every five new hotel rooms they build, three American jobs are created.

The travel and tourism industry provides good, middle-class, domestic jobs that, almost by definition, cannot be outsourced.

For every 33 travelers who visit the U.S. from abroad, one U.S. job is created.

This is a really important issue. This is about jobs that can't be outsourced and hundreds of billions or even now one gentleman said, when you put in all the indirect jobs and money, it is a trillion-dollar industry.

The reality is that, while the U.S. remains an economic leader, other nations are beginning to catch up.

Increasing capital in the form of direct foreign investment has positive effects on manufacturing, increased exports, job creation and U.S. competitiveness.

The purpose of today's hearing is to highlight the importance of foreign direct investment in the United States.

We need to cement our relationship with our best trading partner and friend in Canada, and secure our national security interests and energy security interests by approving this pipeline.

Little wonder the American people overwhelmingly favor this project- Democrats, Republicans, and Independents.

The focus of today's hearing is the health of our steel industry and how we can work together to overcome the challenges it faces.

We have been waiting over 1,600 days for the U.S. State Department to approve the Keystone XL pipeline.

I have zero confidence that the State Department will act in a timely fashion with regards to the DEIS issued on March 1st, 2013.

I agree with the President. We need to focus here in Congress on how we attract more jobs to our shores.

The elimination of coal as a fuel for new electric generation would have highly concerning implications for electricity prices, and for the economy, and job creation in general, as well as the competitiveness of American manufacturing.

I feel that expanding natural gas into vehicles will help our country not only because we are using a domestic product but the fact that diversity in auto fuels enhances our national security status.

At this time I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Rigell), who's the lead Republican sponsor. His dogged leadership on this is why it's back on the House floor again.

In closing, let me make one very important point. Republicans and Democrats alike are united on this important health and safety issue. I urge all Members to pass this amendment today and get the needed consumer protections in place. I…

This incentive auction, if it is successful--and I expect it will--will accomplish a number of goals that will benefit consumers.

But the reality is, as a Republican who my very core principles are, you know, lower taxes, limited government, to just take a solo tax -- or vote on a tax increase with not having everything else there to kind of, you know, give us the…

Yes. That I think that's to his political advantage to do that, because then he gets to blame us, set up the 2014 elections by us being the bad guys.

As recent disputes over interference clearly illustrate that the center of these conflicts is the question of who bears the cost of mitigating interference, the incumbent or the newcomer?
