Washington, D.C. – Congressman Rob Wittman (VA-1) released the following statement today after the House passed legislation to approve the Keystone XL pipeline by a bipartisan vote of 266-153:
"The Keystone XL pipeline is a long overdue project that will help to achieve North American energy independence and also create American jobs. It is unacceptable that the White House has failed for so long to approve this project, even though the State Department itself has mitigated concerns over potential environmental impacts. I was proud to support the Keystone XL Pipeline Act, and I am hopeful that it will pass the Senate soon. We cannot wait any longer."
Congressman Rob Wittman represents the First District of Virginia. He serves on the House Natural Resources Committee and the House Armed Services Committee where he is the Chairman of the Readiness Subcommittee.
