U.S. Representative Bill Flores (R-Texas) issued the following statement regarding President Obama's veto of the Keystone XL Pipeline Approval Act:

"It is very disappointing to see that President Obama has once again elected to put the priorities of radical environmentalists ahead of the needs and priorities of hardworking American families. Rather than listening to the will of the American people, he let a political agenda stand in the way of a bipartisan bill that would generate thousands of jobs, economic growth and enhanced energy security for America. The president has given his veto pen to Washington insiders and special interest groups. Through this veto, the president is blocking domestic job creation and sending American jobs to China."
