• Boehner said he recognizes the political pressure Obama faces from environmental groups and other opponents, but said "with our energy security at stake and many jobs in limbo, he should find a way to say yes."
• White House spokesman Jay Carney said Tuesday that the State Department was reviewing the project and he did not want to "get ahead of that process."
• Once that review is completed, "we'll obviously address that issue," Carney said.
• Meanwhile, Secretary of State nominee John Kerry said he plans to divest holdings in dozens of companies in his family's vast financial portfolio to avoid conflicts of interest if he is confirmed by the Senate.
• Kerry, a Massachusetts Democrat, said he would not take part in any decisions that could affect the companies he has holdings in until those investments are sold off. Among the investments are holdings in two Canadian companies, Suncor and Cenovus Energy Inc., both of which have publicly supported the Keystone XL pipeline. Kerry's investments are in family trusts.

• USD dorm that flooded to reopen Thursday morning
• VERMILLION, S.D. (AP) -- The University of South Dakota says a student dormitory that has been closed since Monday night when a water pipe break in frigid temperatures forced an evacuation will reopen Thursday morning.
• USD is offering a third night of hotel rooms to nearly 500 Coyote Village students on Wednesday.
• The pipe that broke is over an electrical room, and crews had to make repairs to the damaged electrical components. Power and water are now restored.
• About 280 students spent Tuesday night at three local hotels, and the school had 75 pizzas delivered to the students. USD is operating a shuttle service for students to transport students from their hotels to various campus locations.
• The break is being attributed to a frozen water line due to extreme temperatures.
