Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA), Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, responded to the announcement from the State Department Inspector General that there was no conflict of interest associated with the Keystone XL Pipeline Environmental Impact Study:

“Today, the State Department Inspector General announced that there was no conflict of interest associated with the Keystone XL Pipeline Environmental Impact Study.  Another report, another clean bill of health.   Let’s stop the excuses and get America back to work.”

Note: Last year, Chairman Royce, joined by all 24 other Republican Committee Members called on President Obama to approve the Keystone XL project after Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman endorsed it.  Their letter is available HERE.
