Pressure to move oil on the rail. If you can move some of that on the pipeline, it takes a the love pressure off of the rails and freeze that infrastructure up that capacity up to move Agricultural Commodities that are so important to both of our states. And so, you know, theres there is just a lot of misinformation thats been put out on this subject. I hope at least we can have discussions based upon a common set of facts and most of the facts that were talking about are things that have been put out by the administration themselves. And my state of south dakota, as the senator from north dakota mentioned, would be crossed by this. The estimate by the state department was it would create is 00 million in earning in south dakota. It would create 3,000 to 4,000 construction jobs and generate about 20 million in property tax revenue. So theres an awful lot of interest in my state in what happens with the Economic Activity the jobs, the property tax revenue understand that and what that c
They produce about 100,000 barrels of oil per day. This is disconcerting for two reasons. One its a sort of business that was as we are supposed to be deterring and two it provides for russian control over significant European Energy supplies. Mr. Friedman is not currently subject to u. S. Sanctions despite his close ties with the kremlin. Do you know whether he might be a potential target for sanctions . Thank you for that. Im going to give back to on some the details but just to make absolutely clear that u. S. And european sanctions have targeted russian public and government assets and entities. Mr. Friedman runs one of the few remaining private companies in russia and as such has had his own strong views as a private citizen about appropriate russian european relations but let me get back to you on how we have evaluated that particular deal. But it is not a russian government deal. It does not deepen russian governments ties into europeans dependence on the russian government. Tha
As the regular police for the army. So they do get attacked and they do attack and they are feared by the taliban and the insurgents because they are directly linked with people inside the communities and so the language between the police and the army is a strong one and continues to work at. And the provinces that they have these are institutions of the governors have police armies in the intel folks altogether inside of one for lack of better term, and Operational Command and control for regional and at the provincial level and they provide interaction and sat right next to each other and then they interact with higher headquarters as well. And my Head Quarters in kabul, i have Afghan Police that sit next to each other inside the conjoined Operation Center and so interaction is very good. What i would tell you is that less than 10 of the people in embrace the taliban and that number continues to go down. A lot of that is because of the actions of the taliban and i understand that ci
The cbo. It is very clear that repealing the Affordable Care act will actually increase the deficit and it is acknowledged in here by accepting a point of order on anything that increases the deficit as a result of the Affordable Care act. We need honesty and budgeting. If this budget repeals the Affordable Care act all the services for 16. 4 million men and women children who receive health care for the first time maybe other and we know that repealing miss will increase the deficit and we need to be honest about it. This would strike the exception and continue a point of order as we do for every other part of the budget. I think this will prohibit getting even some efficient use. I would ask or a no vote. I assume a roll call vote is desired. Clerk will call the roll. [roll call] [roll call] [roll call] [roll call] [roll call] mr. Chairman, the yeas are 10 the nays are 12. Humanities fail.

Veto of the keystone of her is about protecting the review process for this project. The president deserves to have all of the input from the different agencies deliver to him so that he can make his decision. So today, in the hope that we will be having in the vote we will be having shortly, we are saying the president should be able to exercise his prerogative to review the pipeline and to the side whether or not it is in the National Interest to have this pipeline constructed through the United States of america. But we are also protecting his prerogative to decide in the end because this is a pipeline that should be rejected. Should be rejected on its merits. It feels its test on job creation. It will only add 35 to 40 permanent jobs that the United States will have on its soil. Meanwhile, we should be having a debate about the production tax credit because if we extended that, we would keep 30,000 permanently working here. As this window revolution continues to explode.
