Nebraska Lawmakers to Hold Special Session Over Keystone Pipeline 
------------------------------------------------------------------



Republican Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman has called the state legislature
into special session next week to address growing concerns over the
proposed Keystone XL tar sands pipeline. Opposition to the pipeline has
been growing in Nebraska in part because Trans Canada wants to run
pipeline through the sensitive Sand Hills region over the Ogallala
Aquifer.
