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. The President's remarks are open press.

There will be travel pool coverage of the tour and the President's remarks are open press.

In the evening, the President will depart Columbus, Ohio en route Washington, DC. The departure from Rickenbacker Airport and the arrival on the South Lawn are open press.
