                      APPROVE KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE

  (Mr. DAINES asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAINES. Mr. Speaker, our friends in the Senate are once again 
playing games with the future of our country.
  Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has kindly offered to allow 
Senators to vote on a nonbinding resolution expressing support for 
building the Keystone XL pipeline. That is right, a nonbinding 
expression that requires no action and no real solutions.
  Well, grand gestures and words alone don't create jobs. The American 
people deserve real action. Senate Democrats who claim to support 
approving the Keystone XL pipeline need to stand up and demand that 
Harry Reid allow a real vote to approve the Keystone XL pipeline, a 
vote that actually puts words into action and rhetoric into results.
  The American people have waited long enough. Montanans are tired of 
the political games, the endless delays, and politicians who refuse to 
put job creation ahead of partisanship. The House has acted. It is time 
for the Senate to step up and do the same.
