[Blitzer:] We've been waiting for more than a year for the Obama administration to make a decision on a key pipeline that's supposed to carry oil from Canada through the United States, lots and lots of jobs at stake but there seems to be movement towards a final decision. Dan Lothian is here getting some new information. What's the latest?
[Dan Lothian, Cnn White House Correspondent:] That's right, Wolf. As you know, the State Department had been reviewing to find out whether or not this pipeline would have any kind of environmental impacts and this report that came out is just a draft report. So it doesn't come down one way or the other saying that this pipeline is detrimental or it's OK. But what's interesting is that it does point out that there are some areas where there are these environmental impacts, but they could be mitigated. And one thing I think it was telling, there was a summary of impact where it said the analysis of potential impacts associated with construction and proposed projects suggests there would be no significant impacts along the proposed project route. Those who want this pipeline that's been controversial, it's been hanging out there for over four years, they see this as good news. Again, this is very early in the process. No decision coming down, but certainly nothing in this report that says that this pipeline will be detrimental to the area.
[Blitzer:] A lot of people have said to me in recent weeks they were anticipating this, this would certainly not put any more barriers in the way and that the president and the White House presumably are suggesting is leaning. Now that he's been re-elected, in favor of going ahead with the construction of the Keystone pipeline. That seems to be what is going on but you tell me.
[Lothian:] Well, that does seem that that's the direction and certainly there will be a lot more pressure on the president if this report in the final analysis says that there's no harm that will come from the pipeline, then that puts a lot of political pressure on the president where he can't say, look, I'm not going to do this because there could be environmental impacts. You know, the president rejected this in 2011 because he was concerned about the grasslands in Nebraska. He sort of pundit it back to Trans Canada to say, come up with a new route. We'll review it at that time. So still early in the process, but those who support it, like it, environmentalists don't like it at all and of course, they are big supporters of the president. That's one reason the president did not make a decision before the election in 2012.
[Blitzer:] And we'll see if he does right now. A lot is at stake one way or the other. Thanks very much, Dan Lothian, for that Keystone pipeline information. One minute he's sleeping in his bed. The next minute, he's swallowed by the earth. We have details of a giant and apparently deadly sinkhole. That's next.
