. >> representative eshoo represents silicon valley. one of the issues she has been working with is the piracy issue . something that is of concern to her constituents up there. congresswoman, do you see action coming on that issue? >> well, there was a lot of action before the end of the year, and that came to a halt when mebbeds of congress heard from their constituents about how strongly they felt about the public interest, how this would affect the internet, how it would affect free speech, how it would affect cyber-security. how it would affect the future of the internet. in many ways it has come to a screeching halt. so in many ways it is not resolved. the country is faced with the hijacking of american genius. that is not acceptable to anyone. now, the sulfa bill, in my view, was so broad i don't think it ever was going to work. if it did it was so broad it was in such a great deal of damage. i'm on alternate legislation that takes things in a different direction. i think everyone will have to sit down and work this thing out. i'

that's why i thought it was important for the eshoo amendment to be passed. we want to know, are we endangering communities to a pipeline taking this particular kind of oil. >> will the gentleman yield? >> not yet. when there's a study that's supposed to determine whether that's safe or not. so i think that the eshoo amendment should be adopted and members ought to understand if you're getting misrepresentations on american steel being used or not, you may be getting other misrepresentations as well. my time is expired. >> time is expired. i would like to suggest a time for debate on this amendment that ha expired. seeing no one, we will reconvene at 2:45 with a roll call vote. we have three minutes. >> so as you heard, members heading to the house to swear in a new member replacing david wu who resigned last august. the committee will return at 2:45 for more testimony. this the first of two meetings on keystone xl pipe hein taking place today. the senate finance committee meeting this afternoon at 3:00. they will be discussing the same issue. right now, thou

eshoo is saying makes sense. i'm troubled by the legislation because the state has it mr. dingell, an amendment we're going in to vote on talks about president bush's executive order, i think is fine in state. i think it's good the way it is. what troubles me about moving into ferc, i think you can make a case for it. what truly bothers me is the mandate in the bill they have 30 days to approve it and if it doesn't approve it it becomes law anyway. what kind of amendment is that? that's absurd. either you want a real review or you don't. if you don't, what's the whole point in bringing it to ferc, telling them they can review it. but if they don't, too bad, it's going to happen anyway. that doesn't make any sense to me. the problem with nebraska that still hasn't been -- peace hasn't been put together, i would feel a lot better if that piece were in place. i would be happy to ultimately vote for something like this. it seems to me what we're doing here is we're just ramming it through. gentleman from california raises important issues. some might agree. some might not agre

eshoo of california. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 547, the gentlewoman from california, ms. eshoo and a member opposed, each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentlewoman from california. ms. eshoo: thank you, mr. chairman. last year in the bipartisan pipeline safety bill that was signed into law, i worked with chairman upton to include language which requires the pipeline and hazardous materials safety administration, which is called phmsa, to complete a comprehensive review of hazardous liquid pipeline reclamations. this review will determine whether the current regulations are sufficient to ensure the safety of plinse used for the transportation of tar sands oil. everyone agrees that this review makes sense. the house and the senate both passed the pipeline safety bill without a single member of congress voting against it. what doesn't make sense is directing the federal energy regulatory commission to issue a permit for the keystone x.l. pipeline before we know whether saf

eshoo: i thank the gentleman. thank you, mr. chairman. i thank the gentleman and i rise in support of the amendment. why? because it states if any fishery-related or agricultural job is lost as a result of this act, the bill will not be enacted. and i think that that really sets down where we are. we need jobs in this country and not job killing legislation. now, this legislation will undo years of negotiation reached by the state of california, local farmers, ranchers and other users from the san joaquin river. it would set up a new round of water wars which means more employment for lawyers but not much for anybody else. my congressional district, which includes silicon valley and the fishing community of half moon bay is not in the delta, but my constituents oppose this legislation because their communities, their livelihoods, their resources will also be negatively affected by this bill. now, listen to what the silicon valley leadership group says. over 350 major companies in silicon valley. we believe that h.r. 1837 would be-counter

i want to thank anna eshoo. we did a seminar at stanford university on this very issue. think it was well received. her support of this bill is incredibly important and i look forward to hearing from the witnesses and i appreciate you being here so that we can get to that next step and actually do something that helps us get a fighting chance against the cyberthreats and i yield back. >> the chair recognizes the gentlelady from california, ms. matsui who will control mr. waxman's time. >> thank you mr. chairman for holding today's hearing and i would also like to welcome our witnesses and look forward to your testimony. there is no doubt that cyber attacks are really continued to pose threats in several aspects of our economy. communication networks are one of many areas that our nation must-haves to ensure safety and some is particularly as we considered deploying a broadband network for public safety. advanced ip technology and public medications heighten concerns for cybersecurity. this new network however will share many of the same cyber concerns as any other networ

eshoo, when you came before us, you said -- last year, when you came before us, you said that everyoneas trying to work together. then you said, colder liquids with carbon capture and sequestration actually makes clean fuels. once you start blending in biomass, he becomes a real plus. it becomes carbon neutral. for that reason, the department of energy is very eager to promote that research. last year, your budget had $5 million in funding for that research. this year, zero. have you changed your position? what is the administration's position and why would you have such a reversal? >> i am going to have to look at that. i will have to get back to you on that. i do think that and coal to liquids with carbon capture -- this is true of coal firing by a matter with a coal plant. if you capture the carbon dioxide, it goes -- with a carbon capture, it goes negative. >> you testified last year. we have people wanting to do this and the roadblocks are insurmountable because it looks like the administration is saying one thing, but they are pushing and promoting because of your investments. i
