  SA 163. Ms. MURKOWSKI submitted an amendment intended to be proposed 
by her to the bill S. 1, to approve the Keystone XL Pipeline; which was 
ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:

     SEC. ___. REPORT ON THE DEPENDENCE OF THE UNITED STATES ON 
                   OIL AND NATURAL GAS PRODUCED IN CERTAIN FOREIGN 
                   COUNTRIES.

       Not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this 
     Act, the Administrator of the Energy Information 
     Administration, in coordination with the Director of National 
     Intelligence, shall submit to the appropriate committees of 
     Congress a report that assesses--
       (1) whether potential, continued, or growing instability in 
     Yemen, Venezuela, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and other energy-
     producing countries is likely to impact world oil and natural 
     gas production during the 20-year period beginning on the 
     date of enactment of this Act; and
       (2) whether the construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline 
     would reduce the projected dependence of the United States on 
     oil and natural gas from any of the countries described in 
     paragraph (1) or the regions in which those countries are 
     located.
