Just a brief comment on Keystone. I was the first elected official to write a letter opposing that. I know how I feel about this. I know how my friend, the Republican leader, feels about it. I was responsible for putting it in this bill. That is how legislation works.

I am also thankful that the lifeline for unemployed people is going to continue for at least 60 days. I ask the Chair to report the legislation. ____________________
