Reichert on Keystone XL: "A Victory for American Workers"

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Congressman Dave Reichert released the following statement after voting yes to approve the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline:

“Building the Keystone pipeline would be a victory for American workers and the American economy. It would create thousands of jobs, improve U.S. energy security and promote overall economic growth. It is a critical component to achieving an all-of-the-above energy policy that balances traditional and new energy sources. I hope the Senate will pass, and the President sign, this measure and allow us to finally get to work on this important project.”

H.R. 5682 passed the House by a vote of 252 to 161.
