GOVERNMENT INFORMATION GP Calendar No. 2 114TH CONGRESS REPORT 1st Session SENATE 114-1 KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE JANUARY 12, 2015.-Ordered to be printed Ms. MURKOWSKI, from the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, submitted the following REPORT together with MINORITY VIEWS [To accompany S. 147] The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, having consid- ered the same, reports favorably an original bill (S. 147) to approve the Keystone XL Pipeline, and recommends that the bill do pass. PURPOSE The purpose of this measure is to approve the Keystone XL pipe- line. BACKGROUND AND NEED Although the Federal Government does not regulate the siting of oil pipelines within the United States, the President has, for more than a century, asserted authority to approve energy and tele- communication facilities that cross international borders pursuant to the President's constitutional authority over foreign affairs. See Sierra Club v. Clinton, 689 F. Supp. 2d 1147, 1163 (D. Minn. 2010). In 1968, President Johnson delegated his authority to issue or deny applications for Presidential permits for cross-border oil pipelines to the Secretary of State, based upon the Secretary's determination of whether issuance of the permit would serve the national inter- est. Executive Order 11423, 33 Fed. Reg. 11741 (Aug. 16, 1968). President George W. Bush affirmed President Johnson's delegation to the Secretary of State in 2004. Executive Order 13337, 69 Fed. Reg. 25299 (May 5, 2004). 49-010
