“I believe we can find real resolution. Senator Cantwell, Senator Corzine, Senator Murray, and I have raised a question about the frequency of inspection of these pipelines for safety. We have raised the issue of the community's right to know. We have raised the issue of liability and the certification of workers. It was our hope to make progress today on the principal of these, which would be the inspection of the pipelines themselves, believing and taking great faith in the conference following the passage of this legislation that Senator McCain would represent our bipartisan interests. We know of his own commitment to safety on the issue of the qualification of the workers and the community's right to know and are leaving those for another day. We believe we can find common language on the issue of the inspections of the pipelines themselves. Senators Cantwell, Murray, and I join Senator Corzine who is prepared to offer an amendment.”
