Sheila Jackson Lee said "Boone Pickens is right: It makes no sense to export our natural gas when manufacturing is coming back. I join with Mr. LaTourette for an open rule. This is not a comprehensive rule and, as well, there's no oversight and regulation, and that means no environmental oversight. Minority contracting needs to be in place. And if you want to do something, look at H.R. 3710, my deficit reduction, job creation, energy security bill. This is a bill that needs to go back to the drawing board and really do, as the President said, an infrastructure bill that will help all Americans, be paid for, and not take pensions off the backs of Federal employees. With that, Madam Speaker, I ask for a ``no'' vote on the rule." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
