Congressman Tom Rice (R-SC), along with 85 Republican colleagues, cosponsored the Keystone XL Pipeline Construction and Jobs Act which asserts that a Presidential Permit is not required for the operation of the Keystone XL Pipeline after President Joe Biden signed an Executive Order to revoke the Keystone Pipeline Permit in recent days.
"Energy made and moved in America creates jobs, lowers the cost of gas and electricity for low-income Americans, and makes America more competitive on the world stage. During a time of economic recovery, destroying more than 11,000 potential jobs and increasing our reliance on other countries is a monumental mistake. We cannot let the Biden Administration destroy the livelihoods of hardworking Americans," said Congressman Tom Rice.
