I'm really trying to understand. I'm sure there are many considerations just to the two points you've raised and I'm not informed on any of it. But, if YOU were in the House or Senate, would you vote against Keystone XL because some of the oil might flow beyond our borders and some of the pipeline construction material might be foreign sourced? Are these two points you raised so important that energy independence for our nation is sacrificed?
