Statement

Date: July 23, 2015
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Oil and Gas

Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) issued the following statement after Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Chairman Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Ranking Member Maria Cantwell (D-WA) released the text of their bipartisan Energy Policy Modernization Act of 2015. Their bill includes the Barrasso-Heinrich bipartisan liquefied natural gas (LNG) export bill (S. 33).

"I applaud Chairman Murkowski and Ranking Member Cantwell for including my bipartisan liquefied natural gas export bill in their energy package. As study after study has shown, American LNG exports will grow our nation's economy, create jobs, and increase the energy security of key U.S. allies and partners. That's why support for these exports continues to grow among Democrats, Republicans and the White House. I look forward to the opportunity to debate and consider the entire energy package in the Senate Energy
