Congressman John Culberson (TX-07) issued the following statement in response to President Obama’s decision to reject the Keystone Pipeline:
“Now that President Obama has clearly revealed his complete disregard for American energy independence and American job growth, Congress needs to show leadership and work around him to require the immediate construction on the Keystone Pipeline. I will work with my colleagues to draft an amendment to be included on must-pass legislation that will mandate the pipeline’s immediate construction. If we do not move quickly to finish the Keystone Pipeline , the communist Chinese will happily snap up these vast oil reserves, strengthening themselves and weakening the United States. Our economy urgently needs the tens of thousands of jobs this project will immediately create and the oil resources from our Canadian friends and allies.”
