1/24/15 Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) Delivers GOP Address on the Keystone jobs bill
In the Weekly Republican Address, Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska says the world is watching to see whether the United States is willing to lead as a global energy superpower. Murkowski, chairwoman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, says she believes America is ready for that role and our leadership can start by passing legislation approving construction of the bipartisan Keystone XL Pipeline and President Obama signing the bill into law. “After more than 2,300 days of presidential indecision, it’s important for us to act,” Murkowski says. Alaska’s senior senator adds, “This important infrastructure project will support thousands of jobs. It will carry both American and Canadian oil, in the safest manner available to us, and help keep energy affordable for American families.”
