  Mr. BROWN of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise today to proudly 
announce that the Boeing Company has chosen North Charleston, South 
Carolina, as the site of a second assembly line for their 787 
Dreamliner.
  This is historic and exciting news for the Lowcountry and I, along 
with the rest of the State, warmly welcome Boeing's expanded presence 
in our community and the bright future of employment and prosperity 
that they bring with them.
  I was proud to be a part of this process and I sincerely congratulate 
the South Carolina delegation, our State legislators, State officials 
and all the other parties involved for their hard work and efforts in 
getting Boeing to North Charleston.
  Finally, I would like to highlight the outstanding leadership of 
Boeing's CEO, Mr. James McNerney, Jr., an accomplished businessman and 
high caliber individual.
  I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and I am honored to welcome Mr. 
McNerney and his wonderful company to the Palmetto State.
