US Sens. John Hoeven (R-ND) and Max Baucus (D-Mont.) were joined by 18 other senators from both parties as they urged newly confirmed Secretary of State John F. Kerry to approve the proposed Keystone XL crude oil pipeline during this year’s first quarter. “The State Department received the new route approved by the state of Nebraska on Jan. 22…but [it] has yet to inform the public and stakeholders of a definitive process for the final decision,” the 10 Democrats and 10 Republicans said in their Feb. 22 letter. “We urge you as Secretary of State to ensure that this decision process be completed promptly.” Sens. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Mark Begich (D-Alas.), John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.), John Boozman (R-Ark.), Kay Hagan (D- NC), John Cornyn (R-Tex.), Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND), Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah), Mary Landrieu (D-La.), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alas.), Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), Rob Portman (R-Ohio), Mark Pryor (D-Ark.), Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), Jon Tester (D-Mont.), David Vitter (R-La.) and Mark R. Warner (D-Va.) signed the letter along with Hoeven and Baucus.

I’m sure that the “decorated Vietnam warrior” will get around to it as soon as Valerie Jarrett gives the OK!
Was John Kerry in Vietnam???
Why hasn’t he ever mentioned that....
;-)
Pardon my ignorance but what exactly does the Secretary of State have to do with oil pipelines?
Why don’t they just build the damn thing to North Dakota, and worry about the last 100 or so miles later.
For several decades, any import/export oil, gas, petroleum product pipeline requires the approval of the State Department. It is more a function of importing/exporting critical items than related to oil.
Are you willing to invest in a company that spends billions of dollars on a project that cannot be completed?
Thank you.
Why yes! Where do I mail my check? Obomma won't be dictator forever.
Is there already a pipeline connecting the Bakken production fields in ND and MT to refineries on the Gulf Coast?
Yes. The following map illustrates the major oil pipelines in Canada and the United States as well as the North American markets.
And there are others being built.
There is not enough capacity to handle all the oil. A lot moves on rail as well.
