Boehner: President Obama Out of Excuses on Keystone Jobs
January 31, 2014
Press Release
WASHINGTON, DC -
House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) issued the following statement today
after the State Department issued its latest report on the Keystone XL
Pipeline:
“President Obama is out of excuses. The fact that he has let a final decision on the Keystone pipeline project – and the more than 100,000 jobs that come with it – languish for more than five years is economic malpractice. Middle-class families and small businesses continue to struggle in this economy, and the president’s refusal to back this job-creating project is hurting our economy. If President Obama wants to make this a ‘year of action’ he will stand up to the extreme Left in his own party, stand with the overwhelming majority of American people, and approve this critical project.”
NOTE: On May 22, 2013, the House passed the bipartisan Northern Route Approval Act (H.R. 3), legislation introduced by Rep. Lee Terry (R-NE) that approves the Keystone pipeline and eliminates legal and regulatory barriers to its construction and the tens of thousands of jobs it will create.
