the energy industry, Tenaris is an international business entity

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.
