## Transcript

Thank you very much for being here this morning. Today, I'm pleased to announce the official approval of the Presidential permit for the keystone excel pipeline. Trans Canada will finally be allowed to complete this long overdue project with efficiency and with speed. We're working out the final details as we speak. It's gonna be an incredible pipeline, greatest technology known to man or woman. And frankly, we're very proud of it. It's a great day for American jobs and a historic moment for North America. And energy independence. This announcement is part of a new era of American energy policy that will lower costs for American families, and very significantly reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and create thousands of jobs right here in America.

And I also would like to add, I think it's a lot safer to have pipelines than to Use other forms of transportation for your product. When completed, the Keystone XL pipeline will span 900 miles, wow. And have the capacity to deliver more than 800, 000 barrels of oil per day to the Gulf Coast refinery. That's some big pipeline. The fact is that this $ 8 billion investment in American Energy was delayed for so long it demonstrates how our government has too often failed at citizens and companies over the past long period of time. Today we begin to make things right and to do things right. Today we take one more step in putting the jobs, wages, and economic security of American citizens first.

Put America first.
