Keystone XL Pipeline Act

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. BABIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of H.R. 3, the
Keystone XL Pipeline Act. For far too long, President Obama has impeded
construction of the Keystone XL pipeline--costing the American people
thousands of good-paying jobs and blocking an affordable source of
energy. In the face of his continued obstruction, I proudly joined a
strong bipartisan group of my colleagues voting to put an end to
Obama's obstruction and approving the Keystone XL pipeline.

This legislation is not only good for America, but it is also
uniquely important to the 36th District of Texas. The pipeline will
bring an economic boost to our area through its construction and new
energy supply. For six years President Obama has put politics above
what is good for the American people and our local and national
economy. This is an important step in putting more Americans back to
work, creating opportunity to good jobs and growing our national
economy.
