Congressman Charles W. Boustany, Jr., MD, (R-Lafayette) issued the following statement after President Obama announced that he would reject the Keystone XL Pipeline project.

Boustany said: "The President's rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline goes against years of studies showing little environmental impact but significant economic impact. I'm disappointed the President is putting a radical environmental agenda over our country's jobs agenda when we need more jobs & energy integration with our allies. This is a tragic missed opportunity for our country."
