WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Robert Menendez, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, today released the following statement on the State Department’s Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement regarding the Keystone XL Pipeline:
“Today’s release of State Department’s Draft Supplemental EIS begins a conversation with all interested parties and provides the opportunity for the public to review the analysis and offer their input.
