(DOUGHER):
"PIPELINES ARE WIDELY ACKNOWLEDGED TO BE THE SAFEST AND
MOST-EFFICIENT WAY TO MOVE ENERGY-PRODUCTS OVERLAND, FOR LONG DISTANCES.
CANADIAN CRUDE-OILS--INCLUDING THOSE [THAT ARE] EXTRACTED FROM THE
OIL-SANDS OF WESTERN CANADA--HAVE BEEN SHIPPED VIA PIPELINE FOR DECADES.
'KEYSTONE X-L' IS DESIGNED TO BE A STATE-OF-THE-ART PIPELINE THAT WILL
HELP [BOTH] DIVERSIFY OUR ENERGY-SUPPLY--AND ENCOURAGE DOMESTIC
ENERGY-PRODUCTION. THE 'KEYSTONE X-L'-PIPELINE WILL BRING AN EXTRA
830-THOUSAND BARRELS OF OIL, PER DAY, TO U-S-REFINERIES.
ADDITIONAL SUPPLIES OF RELIABLE CANADIAN-OIL WILL ENHANCE AMERICA'S
ENERGY-SECURITY. AND, 'K-X-L' WILL [BOTH] CREATE THOUSANDS OF NEW
JOBS--AND GENERATE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, IN REVENUES, TO THE
GOVERNMENT. THE PIPELINE HAS BEEN THOROUGHLY REVIEWED, FOR NEARLY
FOUR YEARS. IT'S TIME FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA TO [BOTH] IMPLEMENT HIS
'ALL OF THE ABOVE' STRATEGY--AND APPROVE THE 'KEYSTONE X-L'-PIPELINE."
