Washington, DC - Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Bill Shuster (R-PA) and Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials Subcommittee Chairman Jeff Denham (R-CA) released the following statement today regarding the State Department’s permit approval for the construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline project: “The Keystone project, without spending a single taxpayer dollar, will put people to work, strengthen our energy independence, and help build a 21st century infrastructure for America.  This has been the most thoroughly vetted pipeline project in our history, and we commend the Trump administration for listening to the American people and making the right decision for our country.  We look forward to this long-delayed project finally moving toward reality.”
