The presiding officer the senate will come to order. Mr. Menendez [inaudible] and after having had the benefit of having a hearing on the pipeline ive decided to oppose this bill for four basic reasons. First, on the bill i am deeply concerned that if approved, this pipe lynn will be the first of many pipelines opening one of the largest sources of carbon on earth to exploitation. Second contrary to what many believe, im convinced this pipeline will simply not enhance, help, or in any positive way improve our energy profile. Third, in my view, it is completely absurd for congress to take the role of permitting pipelines. It is a role we have never assumed and should not assume now. And, fourth, i believe its ridiculous that our republican colleagues insist on language banning Eminent Domain for National Parks legislation but oppose it when it comes to foreign or private projects like keystone. Furthermore, mr. President we cannot underestimate the Environmental Impacts of this pipeline
