Wall Street & The White House Agenda

@ The White House

In the morning, the President will visit the Cushing, Oklahoma area to discuss his Administration?s commitment to improving and supporting the infrastructure that helps us leverage our domestic resources, while also ensuring these projects are developed in a safe and responsible way.

This includes a pipeline that will transport oil from Cushing to the Gulf of Mexico, which will help address the bottleneck of oil that has resulted in large part from increased domestic oil production in the Midwest.  The President will deliver remarks at a storage yard holding pipes that will be used for the construction of the pipeline. 

In the afternoon, the President will depart Cushing, Oklahoma and travel to Columbus, Ohio.  

While in Columbus, the President will travel to Ohio State University, home to some of the country?s most advanced energy-related research and development, where he will tour the Center for Automotive Research and deliver remarks on American energy.  

In the evening, the President will depart Columbus, Ohio en route Washington, DC.  Later in the evening, the President will host a reception for Greek Independence Day in the East Room.
