Keystone XL Pipeline Approval Act

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. MOOLENAAR. Madam Speaker, it is time to build the Keystone
pipeline. Building Keystone will create jobs, expand economic
opportunity, and provide our country with energy from a reliable
trading partner. It is estimated that the pipeline will carry more than
30 million gallons of oil per day, and the State Department has
concluded the pipeline is the safest way to transport it to market.
Keystone will support job creation by moving oil to American refineries
where American workers will process it. Thousands of products using
refined oil are manufactured and purchased by Americans every day, and
this pipeline has the potential to make those products less expensive.

The House has passed Keystone policy time and again. Ten times, in
fact, the House has stood with American workers and consumers. Today,
we stand with hardworking Americans looking for good-paying jobs.
Today, we stand with American consumers who will see more of their
hard-earned money go further at the gas pump.

Keystone helps secure our country's energy independence, lowers
energy costs for every American, and supports jobs without raising
taxes or adding to our debt.

It is time to pass this bill. I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes.''
