Kinder Morgan’s border security offer turned down

摘要

Washington—US Customs and Border Protection has declined Kinder Morgan’s offer to pay for additional border security measures that may be required due to the company’s proposed Sierrita gas pipeline from Arizona to Mexico. “Our agency must avoid any appearance of conflict of interest with CBP’s mission to facilitate legitimate trade while securing the US borders from illegal entrants and contraband,” Michael Fisher, the chief of US Border Patrol, said in a letter to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
