         WHEREAS, Citizens throughout Southeast Texas are celebrating
  the decision of Tenaris to build a seamless pipe mill in Bay City;
  and
         WHEREAS, A leading supplier of tubes and related services for
  the energy industry, Tenaris is an international business entity
  with customers that include many of the world's major oil and gas
  producers; the Bay City plant will complement the company's
  integrated global manufacturing network and will mark its first
  seamless pipe mill in the United States; and
         WHEREAS, Due to be up and running by 2016, this new facility
  represents a $1.5 billion investment and will bring an additional
  600 jobs to Bay City, contributing greatly to the quality of life
  not only in Matagorda County and surrounding areas but also in the
  entire state; and
         WHEREAS, Many companies partnered with the Matagorda County
  leadership team to assist in the recruitment of Tenaris, most
  notably OXEA, South Texas Project Nuclear Operating Company,
  LyondellBasell Industries, and Phillips 66; these major employers
  support the community with their leadership and staff involvement,
  as well as with their financial resources; and
         WHEREAS, The well-being of the people of Texas depends on a
  vibrant, diversified economy, and operations such as Tenaris are to
  be commended for the vital role they play in furthering the
  prosperity of the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
  Legislature hereby welcome Tenaris on the occasion of its entry
  into the Texas business community and extend to the company's
  management and employees best wishes for the future; and, be it
  further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Tenaris as an expression of high regard by the Texas
  House of Representatives.
