House Passes Cassidy Bill to Build Keystone XL Pipeline
Washington, DC.... Congressman Bill Cassidy (R-LA) applauded the House of Representatives for passing the Cassidy bill, H.R. 5682, to build the Keystone XL pipeline. The House approved the bill by a vote of 252 to 161. A vote on the legislation is expected in the Senate next week...
Dr. Cassidy released the following statement:
“The Keystone bill that the Senate favors has now cleared the approval path in the House. This will make it easier for the Senate to do right by the American people and finally vote on building the pipeline. Authorization to build the pipeline has now passed the House 9 times. If the Senate fails to pass this now, they are ignoring a majority of Americans who support the pipeline and the thousands of jobs it will bring. Louisiana families want this pipeline built—let's get it built.”
