Brooks: Time to Build Keystone XL Pipeline

Congresswoman Susan W. Brooks (R-IN5) released the following statement after voting in favor of House Resolution 5682, legislation approving the construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline:

“Six years have passed since the Keystone XL Pipeline application was submitted to the U.S. State Department. For six years, Americans have been waiting to unleash the potential of our nation’s energy abundance. For six years, working class families have been waiting to benefit from the jobs this project will create. For six years, Indiana’s manufacturers have been waiting to fill work orders the construction of this pipeline will bring. It’s time to build the Keystone XL Pipeline.

Today, the House once again passed bipartisan legislation to ensure the Keystone XL Pipeline is built. This legislation will create thousands of American jobs and lower energy prices for American families. It’s time for Senate Democrats and the President to listen to the American people and join the House in moving this project forward.”
