     WELCOMING CHIEF MINISTER Y.S. JAGAN MOHAN REDDY TO NORTH TEXAS

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. KENNY MARCHANT

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, August 16, 2019

  Mr. MARCHANT. Madam Speaker, I stand today in recognition of India's 
newly-elected Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy. 
It is my honor to congratulate him on his recent election and to 
welcome him on his visit to Dallas, Texas on August 17, 2019.
  The Chief Minister's visit represents an ongoing effort to promote 
economic development between the United States and India, and his 
participation will help facilitate a discussion about business 
opportunities that currently exist between both countries. This 
bilateral relationship that has been fostered over the years has proven 
especially valuable to the economies of Texas and Andhra Pradesh, both 
of which benefit from strong business ties.
  The 24th District of Texas is home to a booming information 
technology industry, world-class medical facilities, and the Dallas/
Fort Worth International Airport. It is also home to a large Indian-
American population, many of whom immigrated from Andhra Pradesh and 
have contributed to the District's status as a magnet for world-class 
professionals. Cultivating a mutually beneficial relationship is 
clearly valuable to the economies of Texas and Andhra Pradesh and we 
look forward to the continued collaboration between our countries.
  Madam Speaker, I ask all my distinguished colleagues to join me in 
welcoming Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy to the United States of 
America and to the great to the State of Texas.
