Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3) today released the following statement in response to President Obama's veto of the Keystone XL Pipeline Approval Act (S. 1), a bill which passed the House and the Senate with broad bipartisan support and authorized the construction, connection, operation, and maintenance of the Keystone XL pipeline:
