Mrs. CAPITO. Madam President, I rise in opposition to the Senator's amendment. This Mountain Valley Pipeline is an important infrastructure. It has been vetted numerous times. It has permitting-- all permits that are from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, the Fish and Wildlife, and the Bureau of Land Management. These are all permits through both administrations--both the Biden and Trump administrations--that have already been offered. They are in a judicial hellhole right now where they can't get out. This is absolutely essential to the eastern seaboard.

It is jobs and tax revenues in the State of West Virginia, and I think this is an opportunity for us to cut through this redtape and move forward with the very essential infrastructure package.
