Today, Rep. Matt Salmon (AZ-05) released the following statement on the State Department’s final environmental analysis of the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline:

“Today’s report by the State Department reaches predominantly the same conclusions as their draft March report. We’ve now wasted yet another year in extraneous studies instead of getting Americans back to work and moving toward energy security and independence. Once again, while giving lip service to creating jobs, the Administration chose duplicative and unnecessary environmental studies over job creation. There is no question that the Keystone Pipeline is in the United States’ national interest. There are no more excuses for delay. Mr. President, feel free to use that pen to approve this job-creating project.”

Rep. Matt Salmon (AZ-05) serves on the House Committee on Foreign Affairs as Chairman of the Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere. He is also a member of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.
