Hensarling Applauds Keystone Passage

WASHINGTON—U.S. Congressman Jeb Hensarling (R-TX), chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, released the following statement on the Keystone XL Pipeline Act (H.R. 3).

“For the tenth time since 2011, the House of Representatives has passed legislation that would approve the Keystone XL pipeline – a project that is supported by a majority of Americans and has received bipartisan support in the House and Senate.

“With Harry Reid no longer in a position of power to block this bill from consideration, the President will finally be held directly accountable for his decision to support greater energy independence and job creation, or appease radical liberal activists.   I sincerely hope the White House will finally put the American people first and do the work they sent us here to do.”
