I am very honored to introduce the mayor of the great city of Chicago, Mayor Richard Daley. First of all, I'd like to thank the Vice President for coming to this wonderful facility. I thank Senator Durbin, Senator Burris, all the elected officials, labor leaders, and the workforce here at Serious Materials. I just want to thank Kevin and his management team and the workforce to show what can take place when management and labor come together with government under Obama's administration. And what takes place is a completion of what we say manufacturing made in the United States of America. I deeply appreciate the commitment that Serious Materials have made to the city of Chicago. I believe because we're environmentally friendly, working with the workforce, all the union representatives here, dealing with the future jobs in America, and they're right here in Chicago. And I pledge to you, not only in government but the private sector, will be buying the Sirius Materials windows and other components that you're making right here by U.S. labor manufacturer workers, United States of America. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. President.
