“I include letters of support in the Record. CLNG, Center for Liquefied Natural Gas, December 11, 2017. Hon. Greg Walden, Chairman, Committee on Energy and Commerce, House of Representatives, Washington, DC. Hon. Frank Pallone, Jr., Ranking Member, Committee on Energy and Commerce, House of Representatives, Washington, DC. Dear Chairman Walden and Ranking Member Pallone: Regulatory certainty is vital to U.S. LNG and bipartisan legislation like the Unlocking Our Domestic LNG Potential Act (H.R. 4605) and The Ensuring Small Scale LNG Certainty and Access Act (H.R. 4606) take steps to provide a clear and straightforward path for the industry. Providing a certain pathway for U.S. natural gas to be sold abroad will create thousands of good paying jobs right here in the United States, generate millions in tax revenue for the federal, state, and local governments, and supply our allies and trading partners with a reliable, clean, safe source of energy. The United States is awash with natural gas, with more discoveries almost daily, and in order for the U.S. natural gas industry to continue to be an engine for growth, reliable exports offer a perfect solution. Legislation by Congress that creates a more certain regulatory process enables our country to capture this narrow window of opportunity to export LNG internationally and sends a strong signal to our allies and trading partners that the U.S. is committed to its role as a global energy leader.…”
