U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) released the following statement after President Trump advanced construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline and Dakota Access Pipeline:

"For years the previous Administration inexplicably robbed this country of tens of thousands of new jobs and a chance to become less dependent on unstable sources of energy. An "all of the above' energy strategy includes moving these projects forward, and this decision is long overdue."

"These projects will boost the economy, strengthen national security, and help Texans, and all Americans, have more access to affordable energy. Today's news is a breath of fresh air, and proof that President Trump won't let radical special-interest groups stand in the way of doing what's best for American workers."
