           CONGRATULATING AIRBUS EMPLOYEES IN MOBILE, ALABAMA

 Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. President, today I wish to congratulate the 
Airbus workers at their new facility in Mobile, AL, for completing 
their first jet, the first Airbus A321 in the United States.
  Airbus and its Alabama employees have worked tirelessly for several

years toward this achievement. The Airbus A321 is an advanced airplane 
and constructing it is no easy task. There is no doubt that building 
the A321 required immense dedication from the workers in the plant to 
the suppliers across Alabama and the entire southeast.
  I am pleased that Airbus continues to be a leading participant in the 
manufacturing resurgence in Alabama. The company joins hundreds of 
others that have recently located their operations in our State, which 
is a testament to the quality of Alabama products. It is great news 
indeed for America that one of the finest aircraft manufacturing 
companies is producing popular, fast-selling models in the United 
States, and specifically in Mobile, AL.
  While this accomplishment is only the beginning, let us join together 
and enjoy the celebration of this important milestone for Airbus, 
Alabama, and the people of our community.
