The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“MORE AMERICAN ENERGY MEANS MORE AMERICAN JOBS” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Justice was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H2811 on May 21, 2013.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
MORE AMERICAN ENERGY MEANS MORE AMERICAN JOBS
(Ms. JENKINS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. JENKINS. Mr. Speaker, the President seems to be getting a lot of information from the news rather than from his own administration lately. He says he was unaware of the IRS targeting conservatives, unaware of the Department of Justice seizing reporters' phone records, and unaware of the HHS Secretary fundraising for ObamaCare until he saw it on the news.
The next story the President should read will be about our bipartisan solution to create jobs and greater energy security for America--the Keystone XL pipeline. It really is incomprehensible that the President, after 1,700 days, would continue to stand in the way of the largest shovel-ready project in this country.
It's really this simple: more American energy means more American jobs. With millions of hardworking Americans out of work, gas prices skyrocketing, and China outcompeting the United States for access to Canada's oil supply, we need the Keystone XL pipeline.
It is time to put hardworking American families ahead of politics and focus on real solutions.
