The Subcommittee met, pursuant to call, at 10:00 a.m., in Room 2360, Rayburn House Office Building. Hon. Scott Tipton [chairman of the subcommittee] presiding. Present: Representatives Tipton, Graves, Luetkemeyer, Huelskamp, and Murphy. Chairman TIPTON. Good morning. Our hearing will come to order. I would like to thank all of you for taking the time to be able to be here as we examine the potential economic benefits of con- structing the Keystone XL pipeline and what it would mean for small business job growth. We have an excellent panel with us today to discuss this very important issue and I look forward to hearing all of their thoughts. We hear a lot about ‘‘shovel ready’’ projects, those that can be started immediately, putting Americans to work with good paying jobs while building the infrastructure necessary to be able to help fuel the economy. We also hear a lot about the need to be able to adopt an ‘‘all of the above’’ strategy when it comes to energy devel- opment in our country that utilizes all of the resources and tech- nologies available in North America to supply us with the afford- able energy that we need to be able to grow our economy. Both issues are vitally important to our economic future. The Keystone pipeline can help us reach those goals. It is good for job creation, good for energy security, and as I think we will see here today, good for small businesses. The potential economic benefits of this pipeline to the American economy are tremendous. TransCanada, the company petitioning the administration to be able to build the pipeline, estimates that it would spend approximately $7 billion to construct the full project. The draft supplemental environmental impact study issued by the Department of State earlier this year estimated that the pipeline would create approximately 42,100 direct and indirect jobs. Those are not only construction jobs; those are jobs in lodging, food services, transportation, warehousing, and several other segments of our economy. While individual studies’ findings are not broken down to the im- pact of large versus small businesses, 99.7 percent of all businesses (1) VerDate Mar 15 2010 10:31 Jun 11, 2013 Jkt 000000 PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 6633 Sfmt 6633 C:\USERS\DSTEWARD\DOCUMENTS\113018 DEBBIE SBREP-219 with DISTILLER 2 in the United States are classified as small. TransCanada states it has contracts with more than 50 suppliers across the United States. Therefore, it is not unfounded to presume construction of the pipeline will create thousands of jobs for small businesses. A study by the Energy Policy Research Foundation concluded that the Keystone expansion would provide net economic benefits of $100 million to $600 million annually, in addition to the imme- diate boost in construction employment. Similarly, a 2009 report from the Canadian Energy Research Institute commissioned by the American Petroleum Institute predicts that the Keystone XL pipe- line will add $172 billion to America’s gross domestic product by 2035 and will create an additional 1.8 million person-years of em- ployment in the United States over the next 22 years. Constructing the Keystone XL pipeline will help ensure an abun- dant, nearby, and stable supply of oil which will not only enhance our national security and make us less reliant on foreign oil im- ports from unfriendly nations and regions to this country; it could have the added economic benefit of keeping domestic fuel prices in check which would help ease the financial burden on hard-working American families and small businesses. This Committee has held several hearings on the importance of affordable energy to the via- bility of small businesses. Just as important, according to the project’s environmental impact statement, construction of the Key- stone XL pipeline can accomplish these goals with minimal adverse environmental effects. At a time when we should be focusing on economic growth and energy security, moving forward with this project is simply com- monsense. We have a rare opportunity to create thousands of jobs immediately, many through small businesses, and do so in a re- sponsible way. Let’s build it. Again, I would like to thank all of our witnesses for their partici- pation and their insights. I now recognize the ranking member for his opening statement. Mr. Murphy. Mr. MURPHY. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And thank you all for being here this morning to discuss such an important topic, and I look forward to hearing all of your testimonies this morning. The 875-mile Keystone pipeline project, which has the potential to transport 830,000 barrels of oil from Canada to refineries in the United States, could have substantial impacts on small businesses and job creation in both the short term and long term. It is also important to address the environmental issues that surround this project proposal. This pipeline project has been a controversial issue that has gen- erated a great deal of discussion and research, and we have a unique opportunity today to clear the misconceptions about the benefits and costs of this large project.

  • FY11 Report to the President
    MIT Alumni Association ~ FY11 Report to the President MIT’s sesquicentennial afforded new opportunities for the MIT Alumni Association to connect alumni to the Institute and to one another. We took on the challenge of hosting 150 events during the 150 days of celebration. We met that goal and then some. And new connections were made— 29 of these events were in areas without an established group. Tech Reunions 2011 in June broke attendance records as enthusiastic alumni and guests came to campus for traditional celebrations plus the spectacular MIT150 finale—Toast to Tech. FY11 Highlights: • In honor of the MIT 150th anniversary, volunteers and the Alumni Association hosted 164 sesquicentennial events on five continents, including 55 Toast to IAP gatherings, 47 Charter Day events, and 14 Days of Service. • Nearly 8,000 people gathered in Killian Court for the MIT150 finale, Toast to Tech, which was cohosted by the Association and the office of Institute Events. • FY11 MIT Annual Fund: Giving increased by 19 percent to $52.4M. Senior Gift participation hit a new record of 76 percent. The Parents Fund beat previous records with gifts totaling more than $1.5 million. • Compared to our IvyPlus peers, the MIT Annual Fund ranked third in undergraduate partici- pation at 36 percent—behind Princeton and Dartmouth in 2010, the most recent available data. • The William Barton Rogers Society achieved a 79 percent renewal rate among all donors from FY10 to FY11. • Members of the 1861 Circle, those who make a gift five or more years in a row, rose 5.2 per- cent to 16,666.

In our time as a colony, we have grown into an organization rooted upon the three pillars of Theta Tau, and been beneficiaries of the nation-wide community striving towards this selfsame goal. As a chapter, we plan to work to build our brotherhood, serve our community, and work toward success in our profession in the same way we have as a colony. Our Colony has had the privilege to be helped in our journey by many outstanding members of the national brotherhood. Whether it was the opportunity to network with brothers from chapters all across the nation at the national convention in Cincinnati, or work with the Psi Delta Chapter to plan a joint Alumni Networking Event at home in Boston, we have been lucky to have role models and advisors to shape us into a group ready for status as a chapter of Theta Tau. As we move forward, I know the support network we have built will be ready and willing to help us forge onward as an organization.

  • MIT 150 | Brains, Minds and Machines: Welcome and Introductory Remarks
    MIT 150 | Brains, Minds and Machines: Welcome and Introductory Remarks MINDELL: Good afternoon. It's my pleasure to introduce and to welcome you to the MIT 150 Symposium on Brains, Minds and Machines. My name is David Mindell. And I'm chair of the MIT 150 steering committee. And I just want to say a few words about MIT's 150th that provide a little bit of context for today's symposium. In 1853, William Barton Rogers came north from Virginia to pursue his dream of a new kind of technical education. An education that would mix the world of science and the useful arts, theory, and practice, what we have come to know as Menzel Montessori Mind and Hand. Nine years later, eight years later in 1861, the governor of Massachusetts fulfilled Roger's dream by signing MIT's charter on April 10th of last year-- of that year, creating this unique and innovative educational institution. Now 150 years and two weeks later, we're celebrating MIT's accomplishments in a whole variety of fields, of ideas, and inventions, that changed our world and helped define it today, and of the courageous professors, students, graduates, and alumni, who have gone forth from this place to make their contributions to the world. The MIT 150 Celebrations include 150 days of events, concerts, other festivals. Today we're on the 117th day. And we've already begun to see, over the past 117 days, the emergence of tomorrow's MIT. One that's united by ambitious intellectual agendas and focused on both its core research domains and on the institute's relationship to the wider world.

So it has been at the College of William and Mary, often in curious ways. For example, those delving into its history long overlooked the College’s eighteenth century plantation worked by slaves for ninety years to raise tobacco.1 Although it seems easy to understand that omission, it is harder to understand why the College’s 1760 affiliation with a school for black children2 was overlooked, or its president in 1807 being half-sympathetic to a black man seeking to sit in on science lectures,3 or its awarding an honorary degree to the famous English abolitionist Granville Sharp in 1791,4 all indications of forgotten anti-slavery thought at the College. To account for these memory lapses, we must look to a pivotal time in the late- nineteenth and early-twentieth century when the College, Williamsburg, and Virginia * Chancellor Professor of English, College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, Virginia, [email protected].

Meager as must have been the teaching during the early years in any of the fields specifically mentioned in the Charter granted in 1693 by the British sover­ eigns, certainly some matter within our :present field was con­ templated in the listing of objects mentioned in the preamble of the Charter: " ...to the end ...that the youth may be piously educated in good letters and manners ... to make, found and establish a certain place of universal study, or perpetual College of Divinity, Philosophy, Languages and other good Arts and Sciences ..." It is safe to say that none of those subjects in the conception of Commissary Blair, who doubtless prescribed them, would have been defined in terms that would at all fit with the boundaries of present departments.
