Title: HOUSTON
PROPOSED VIDEO MESSAGE
PORT OF HOUSTON
Good morning. It has been said that a town called Houston
built a port, that in turn, built a city. On this day seventy-
five years ago, concerned Houstonians banded together and pushed
for a port facility and ship channel to connect their city to the
sea and the world. It was a classic case of another Texas "big
idea" that worked. Once smaller than Dallas, San Antonio and
Austin, Houston's decision to build a port helped catapult the
city into national prominence and make it one of our nation's
greatest cities. That spirit of private sector initiative has
continued to build Houston. I was lucky enough to see it first-
hand as the head of a small, independent oil company in Texas
during the 1960s.
The Port has been the catalyst for much of what Houston is
today. As one of America's great doors to the world, the Port
plays a critical role in keeping America competitive in world
markets. The Port of Houston reflects the great Texas character
-- supreme confidence and unmatched initiative.
You all have much to celebrate on this special day and let
me just say: it makes me proud to be a Texan. It has sure been a
pleasure to join you this morning.
Thank you and God bless you all.

Title: HOUSTON
PROPOSED VIDEO MESSAGE
PORT OF HOUSTON
Good morning. It has been said that a town called Houston
built a port, that in turn, built a city. On this day seventy-
five years ago, concerned Houstonians banded together and pushed
for a port facility and ship channel to connect their city to the
sea and the world. It was a classic case of another Texas "big
idea" that worked. Once smaller than Dallas, San Antonio and
Austin, Houston's decision to build a port helped catapult the
city into national prominence and make it one of our nation's
greatest cities. That spirit of private sector initiative has
continued to build Houston. I was lucky enough to see it first-
hand as the head of a small, independent oil company in Texas
during the 1960s.
The Port has been the catalyst for much of what Houston is
today. As one of America's great doors to the world, the Port
plays a critical role in keeping America competitive in world
markets. The Port of Houston reflects the great Texas character
-- supreme confidence and unmatched initiative.
You all have much to celebrate on this special day and let
me just say: it makes me proud to be a Texan. It has sure been a
pleasure to join you this morning.
Thank you and God bless you all.
