Dr. Bill Cassidy delivered his first floor speech as a U.S. Senator on the need to approve and build the Keystone XL pipeline.

"It was a real honor to be sworn in, to represent the people of Louisiana. We're a great state, with great people. That they would choose me, trust me, if you will, to represent them... an incredible honor, but also a challenge, because we have big problems for our country, problems for our state. So, an honor and a challenge." -Dr. Cassidy
