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.

Two years weve also launched a program to integrate Employment Services with treatment, so that we can help those with drug addiction not only get clean but get back to work. I am proud that together we enacted an overdose protection law to provide Legal Protection to people and especially to Health Care Professionals who are trying to help. I am proud that we are trying to help nonviolent offenders get access to college through the njstep program. And today, i would like to announce our next steps in helping those battling the disease of drug addiction by improving the way we deliver these services. Right now there are numerous federal, state, and county government programs, providers and nonprofit partners, who fund and deliver some form of adult addiction services. How to access those services can be difficult and overwhelming when confronted with the unintended bureaucracy of options. Contacting multiple agencies and trying to identify the right treatment is challenging enough, but
