Good morning. I'm Johanna Schneider with the Business Roundtable. We're here today to release the Business Roundtable's Roadmap for Growth. Ivan Seidenberg, who's our Chairman, will make initial opening remarks and then Andrew Liveris, with Dow Chemical, will talk a little bit more about the roadmap.
American businesses create jobs, innovate, manufacture and provide the services that drive our economy. In short, they are the foundation for economic growth. Yet, a host of new laws and regulatory actions are restricting their ability to help our economy recover. This is why Business Roundtable created the Roadmap for Growth, our pro-jobs economic strategy.
To keep the United States on pace with our international competitors, to not fall backwards by standing still, to ensure continued U.S. international economic leadership and competitiveness, it is essential to move forward quickly.

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining Business Roundtable and the United States Council for International Business’ briefing on the release of the paper, How U.S. Multinational Companies Strengthen the U.S. Economy by Matthew Slaughter.
Commissioned by Business Roundtable and the United States Council Foundation, Matthew J. Slaughter’s data update to How U.S. Multinational Companies Strengthen the U.S. Economy confirms that worldwide American companies create more U.S. jobs through their participation in the international economy. Engagement abroad through both exports and foreign investment has long supported domestic growth and job creation, and Slaughter argues this is even more critical as we strive to emerge from the global financial crisis and deep domestic recession.
In spring of 2009, Business Roundtable and the United States Council Foundation sponsored the report, How U.S. Multinational Companies Strengthen the U.S. Economy. Based on official government statistics collected by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) of the U.S. Department of Commerce, this report provided a fact-based analysis of the many contributions that U.S.-based multinational firms make to the overall U.S. economy.
