House Approves
Job-Creating Keystone Pipeline
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, the House once again voted, on a bipartisan
basis, to approve the Keystone XL pipeline (H.R. 3), the third jobs
bill passed by the House this week as part of Republicans’ continuing
commitment to put Americans’ priorities – jobs and the economy –
first. Congressman John Boehner (R-West Chester) issued the
following statement:
“In light of today’s Nebraska Supreme Court ruling, the president
should reconsider his threat to veto the Keystone pipeline and the tens
of thousands of jobs it will create. A presidential veto would
put his own political interests ahead of the needs and priorities of
the American people. There is no excuse – scientific or otherwise
– for the president to continue blocking the pipeline. An
overwhelming majority of Americans support this job-creating energy
project and President Obama ought to respect their will and stop
standing in the way.”
