Dear Governor Heineman:
Thank you for approving the new route for the Keystone XL Pipeline. The project will allow America to gain independence from Middle East and Venezuelan oil by increasing supplies from our loyal, stable and secure ally in Canada. It will also be a major economic development booster for our country and region, not only in the construction of the pipeline, but in further development of Alberta’s oil resources. For every two Canadian jobs created by the oil sands, a third is created in the US. Alberta oil sands development is projected to generate more than $500 billion in US economic impact over the next 25 years.
Jack Schenendorf, Ports-to-Plains Alliance Transportation Consultant, in Washington will address the following topics:

Transportation's fiscal cliff: what are we going to do about it?
MAP-21 implementation and reauthorization in 113th Congress.
