Bush with Micron CEO

Picture from a few minutes ago. I am not a Bush fan by any means, but it is good publicity for Micron...



Here is a link to an article regarding his comments. There is a link to clips of the speech as well.

Bush Visit - Press Release

U.S. President Bush to visit Micron's Virginia plant Tuesday WASHINGTON - The White House announced Friday (Feb. 2, 2007) that U.S. President George W. Bush has accepted an invitation to visit Micron's state-of-the-art 300mm manufacturing facility in Manassas, Va. on Tuesday, Feb. 6. He will tour the facility with CEO Steve Appleton and then speak to employees and members of the press. It's believed to be the first time a sitting U.S. president has visited one of Micron's worldwide manufacturing sites since the company's inception in 1978.

The company extended the invitation to President Bush to tell him our story how Micron is:

o Helping the U.S. economy grow by creating well-paying jobs. During the past year, Micron hired 1,021 new team members as part of its $3.5 billion expansion of the MTV plant.

o Improving the balance of global trade. In fiscal 2006, Micron's international sales helped reduce the U.S. trade deficit by $3.6 billion.

o Strengthening public education. Through its K-12 volunteer programs and teaching tools, Micron is supporting the math and science education critical to cultivating tomorrow's technology leaders.

o Supportive of patent reform. For the past six years, Micron has been among the top 10 recipients of U.S. patents and protecting such intellectual property is vital to U.S. leadership in technology innovation.

Bush visiting my company today

So President Bush is due to arrive at my company in Manassas in a few hours. Parking really stinks because they sequestered an entire lot for the 4 helicopters that will be arriving. We are locked into the building from 8:00 a.m. until sometime this afternoon for security reasons. I didn't get the big invite to go down to the conference, so I will be at my cubicle watching a live recording.

This is pretty big news for Micron. The focus will be on the number of new jobs Micron has created in the U.S. in the past year, as well as the impact Micron has (in the positive) on the trade deficit.

I will post more updates later, since I don't expect that anyone will do much work today...
