Ms. Jenkins i rise today to recognize november 20 as rural health day. I understand firsthand that folks in rirle communities deserve access to Quality Health care options. A growing challenge facing folks in many Rural Communities across the country is access to health care. For many Rural Communities, the presence of a critical access hospital could be the deciding factor in whether or not the next generation decides to raise their family in their hometown. These communities are the backbone of america. Congress commitment to ensuring Rural Communities have access to care has been strong over the years but it must continue.

Yesterday, the senate rejected legislation to approve the keystone x. L. Pipeline. Meanwhile, the house has passed legislation to authorize building the pipeline nine times. Theres no good reason to continue to delay this project, which will create tens of thousands of jobs and has strong, bipartisan support. Keystone x. L. Is the most studied pipeline in our nations history. Thousands of pages prove its worth to our economy and National Interest and further document its safety. It will spur job creation, help us on our way to Energy Independence and increase access to affordable north american oil. For more than six year, supports of the keystone x. L. Pipeline have been fighting to secure the necessary approval that would allow the taos take advantage of vital Oil Production in canada and the northern United States. It appears supporters will have to wait a little longer before the Senate Finally acts in americas economic and energy interests. I yield back.

To address the house for one minute and revise and extend my remarks. The speaker pro tempore without objection, so ordered. Thank you, mr. Speaker. President obama is expected to sign an executive order soon regarding illegal immigration. In july 20 11, he said, quote, i know some people want me to bypass congress and change the laws on my own but thats not how our system works, thats not how our democracy functions. A year ago, president obama said, quote if in fact i could solve all these problems without passing laws in congress, then i would do so but were also a nation of laws, thats part of our tradition and what im proposing, he said then is the harder path, to use our democratic processes to achieve the same goal. President obama should reflect on his own words. He should follow the democratic process as reflected in the recent election. Mr. Roth fust a bedrock principle of our nation is the rule of law. That promotes stability and fairness. Will the mr. Rothfus will the president s actions support stability . Will it be fair . Any rule must be fair and must respect the rule of law. The speaker pro tempore for what purpose does the gentleman from california rise . Without objection, so ordered. I rise today to urge this chamber to do its constitutional duty and debate a new authorization for use of military force. Mr. Honda eight yeeks weeks ago, the house rushed through an amendment to the continuing resolution to authorize army and training vetted syrian rebels. This is not something we should go into blindly. Its time that this chamber has an informed, robust discussion and debate about the u. S. Role in combating and dealing with isil and other extremely extremists in iraq. In those eight weeks we went through, we have conducted nearly 800 air strikes in iraq and syria and killed nearly 1,000 soldier, terrorists and civilians. We are quickly sliding back into combat in the northeast. It may be necessary to send soldiers to the the region to help but this is not something we should do or go into blindly. Its time for a robust debate. I yield back. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman yields back. For what purpose does the gentleman from South Carolina rise . Mr. Wilson i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and rhett rith my remarks. The speaker pro tempore without objection, so ordered. Mr. Wilson i appreciate the forceful warnings of South Carolinas senior senator, senator gramm who stated that the Administration Needs to understand this Iranian Regime cares more about trying to weaken america and push us out of the middle east than cooperating with us. Until we recognize that reality and formulate a reeg a regional strategy to counter the malign influence, well continue to harm u. S. National security interests, end of quote. The iranians have not earned the right to be trusted despite years of misleading nuclear inspectors and ignoring calls to suspend Nuclear Enrichment while developing ballistic missiles. Credibly, the administration continues to turn a blind eye. Senator gramm promotes approval of any deem diehl reached with iran. Together sanctions should be promoted which will impose and stop further nuclear blackmail and promote the safety of israel and our regional allies. In conclusion, god bless our troops and the president should take action to never forget september 11 and the global war on terrorism. The speaker pro tempore the speaker pro tempore the time of the gentleman has expired. For what purpose does the gentleman from new york rise . Without objection, so ordered. Mr. Higgins mr. Speaker, i rise to recognize the importance of Carbon Monoxide awareness. Each year 400 people die because of Carbon Monoxide poisoning, making it the leading accidental poisoning. This can be lowered because of the installation of Carbon Monoxide warnings in the home. After amandas tragic death, her family created the Amanda Hanson foundation which aims to educate and promote awareness of Carbon Monoxide warnings and for those who cannot afford it get cube detectors. I crube detectors. It is for amanda and for others who unnecessarily died that i am a cosponsor of h. R. 4864, the Carbon Monoxide poisoning prevention act. This legislation would help states and local governments implement education programs, developing training materials and to buy and install c. O. Alarms in cools and in schools and homes. I yield back the balance of my time. The speaker pro tempore for what purpose does the gentleman from texas rise . Mr. Smith i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized. Mr. Smith mr. Speaker, the editorial boards of several National Publications has supported amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants. It is a credit to their intellectual honesty that the media now admit that president obamas threats to use executive orders to undercut immigration laws is wrong and contrary to his constitutional responsibilities. For example, a washington in editorial commented mr. Obamas own words, acting alone is not how our democracy functions, end quote. And, quote, we support mr. Obamas intentions but not doing it on his own because he is tired of working with congress. Even the New York Times said, the president cannot rewrite immigration laws. The media isnt alone. Public opinion polls show a Strong Majority of americans disapprove of the president s issuing executive orders to grant amnesty. The president should listen to the American People, not those who want him to violate his oath of office to uphold the nations laws. The speaker pro tempore the time of the gentleman has expired.
