OH SCR7

Urges the United States Department of State to approve the presidential permit for TransCanada's Keystone XL Pipeline between the United States and Canada

Argues the pipeline is necessary to reduce U.S. dependence on oil imports from less stable countries, with potential to displace roughly 40% of current Middle East and Venezuelan oil imports

Claims the pipeline will support over 10,000 U.S. construction and manufacturing jobs, with approximately $800 million in goods already sourced from American manufacturers

States pipelines are the safest transportation method for crude oil compared to trucks (100 times safer) and rail (40 times safer), and would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 19 million tons annually

Directs the Senate Clerk to transmit copies of the resolution to the U.S. State Department, President, Congress, and Ohio's congressional delegation
