mr. sullivan. >> president obama turned his back on the keystone pipeline and rejected the advice of his own jobs' council who recommendrecommend ed an all-in approach. li i was surprised at the decision, saying that congress forced the decision with a deadline. if excuses were barrels of oil, this administration would have filled the reserves several times over. the truth of the matter is the administration had three years to reach a decision on keystone xl and failed to do so. if that is not enough time than how much time do you need to secure our energy future, mr. president. this begs the question of who is in control of our national energy agenda. time and time again we hear about commitment of the president about reducing our dependence on foreign oil and rejects a no brainer. he rejected it to keep his anti-jobs environmental base happy in an election year. by rejecting the pipeline, president obama turned his back on american jobs. what logical reason could there be to say no to 20,000 new private sector jobs and 100,000 indirect jobs why the unemployment rate is above 8%, it's i

mr. sullivan. >> i would be happy to move an amendment to this resolution, if that is okay with the chair. i know is boomer will appreciate this. add a result clause that says the "mta board of directors supports the current concept of the fast start project to expedite service increases for san jose, the peninsula, and said francisco." >> thank you. we have a motion and second on the amendment. we will note that the motion is amended and now vote on the motion that as amended. all in favor? all opposed? great, thank you. >> directors, moving on, and 13, presentation and discussion regarding the transportation sustainability program. >> as they are setting up, i will introduce this to say that this program is something that is really important to the future of how we plan for and manage transportation relative to development that happens in this city. this program is taking a look at how we manage, regulate, and mitigate development as it relates to transportation to develop a process that is more transparent, equitable, meaningful, and provides a much better nexus between development and

mr. sullivan, for five minutes. >> thank you, chairman whitfield. during his tate of the union address, president obama turned his back on the keystone pipeline. he actually rejected the advice of his own jobs council who recommended an all-in approach to energy policy that included expediting energy projects like pipelines. like many americans, i was surprised at the primary reason the president stated for his denial saying congress forced this decision with an arbitrary deadline. if excuses were barrels of oil, this administration would have filled our strategic petroleum reserves several times over. the truth of the matter is the administration had three years to reach a decision on keystone xl but failed to do so. if more than 1,100 days is not enough time, then exactly how much time do you need to secure our energy future, mr. president? this begs the question of just who is in control of our nation's energy agenda? time and time again we hear about president obama's commitment to american-made energy that creates jobs and reduces our dependenc

mr. sullivan said, unions and an arm to groups that have no equity in this work at kitzhaber members in the there is an understatement -- have kicked our members in the teeth. we will not sit at the table with people who this story our members' livelihood. a labor unions issued a forceful statement condemning the decision as politics at its worst. mr. john sweeney, the director of global labor institute at cornell university, who did a study about that job that this would create, made it clear that -- he said this decision was about the president being reelected. the president's re-election is at stake. he said there is more at stake here than a simple pipeline. in closing, i would like to quote from an editorial in the chicago tribune. keystone should be approved. this is a good project. it will give us energy and give us jobs. you want stimulus, this is it. this is a $7 billion project to be done with private dollars. taxpayer dollars will not be used. president obama made a decision that we think is the wrong decision. with that, -- does anyone seek recognition? >> i will recognize you l
