FILE - In this Feb. 27, 2013, file photo, Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz. gestures as he speaks during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2013. House Republicans pushed a proposal Wednesday, May 22, 2013, to bypass the president to speed approval of the 1,700-mile Keystone XL pipeline, which would transport oil from Canada to Texas. Grijalva called the bill a "reckless attempt to avoid environmental review."  As debate opened, Republicans said the measure was needed to ensure the long-delayed pipeline is built. The bill was eventually approved, 241-175, largely along party lines.  (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster, File)
