HERSETH STATEMENT ON STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS.
January 31, 2006, Washington, D.C. - U.S. Rep. Stephanie Herseth released the following statement tonight regarding President Bush's 2006 State of the Union address:
"I am pleased that the President is focusing on taking concrete steps to break our nation's dependence on foreign oil. I hope that he, and leaders across the country, will continue to discover what we in South Dakota already know: renewable fuels like ethanol and biodiesel are absolutely vital to energy independence, economic stability, and national security. Looking to the year ahead, I remain committed to working in a bipartisan way to advance an agenda that makes sense for rural America and recognizes the value of renewable biofuels."
