The principal - one of the principal reasons why IBM is now making this expansion is because of the CHIPS and Science Act. And those things all come together here at IBM. And if you think about the piece of legislation that we’ve now enacted, what you’re seeing is a historic effort to lay the foundation with public investment for a unprecedented level of private investment in areas of significant economic - where there is significant opportunity for increases in economic productivity and also where we have an acute economic and national security need. You guys have heard me talk about the President’s economic strategy in the context of an American industrial strategy. So, we’re going to spend the bulk of our time at IBM and - in the tour and otherwise - seeing what the company is planning with respect to expansion of its quantum computing capability and its mainframe production capability.īut I just wanted to spend a minute on connecting this back and connecting the dots to our broader economic policy. We thank Dale for his many years of service.Īnd now I will turn it over to Brian. Dale Haney has seen the grounds through a half century of growth and improvement, overseeing the care of 500 trees, 5,000 shrubs, thousands of annual flowers, and a productive kitchen garden and acres of lawns.ĭale began work in 1972 as a gardener during the presidency of Richard Nixon and has now served 10 presidents, supervising the work of the National Park Service’s full-time staff of gardeners, maintenance workers, electricians, and plumbers. And - but he - we want to thank him for his continued service and 50 years of contributions to the beauty and abundance of the White House gardens and grounds. If you ever met him, he is a wonderful human being.

This year, the President and the First Lady would like to especially thank and honor White House grounds superintendent Dale Haney. In April 2022, the White House hosted spring garden tours, marking the first opening of the White House gardens to the public during the Biden-Harris administration. This year will be the first time the White House has been able to host fall garden tours since the pandemic started. I know you guys have been waiting for this moment. This Saturday and Sunday, the White House will continue its annual tradition of welcoming the public for fall garden tours. He’ll be joined by the Intel CEO, Arvind Krisha - Krishna.Īnd today, we’ll have Brian Deese, who’s standing right next to me, Director of the National Economic Council, joining us to talk through our domestic manufacturing boom, our strong labor market, and to answer any of your questions on economic developments.īut before I turn over to Brian, I have one thing that I wanted to say and share with you, which I think is very exciting. The President will be joined by - on today’s tour - by New York Governor Kathy Hochul, as well as Congressmen Sean Patrick Maloney, Paul Tonko, and Pat Ryan. These investments will create good-paying manufacturing jobs here in the United States. During the President’s visit, the company will announce a $20 billion investment over the next decade in R&D into design and manufacturing of semiconductors, mainframe technology, artificial intelligence, and the quantum computing across the Hudson Valley. As you all are - all are aware, we are en route to Poughkeepsie, New York, where President Biden will visit an IBM site to meet with workers, tour the site, and give remarks.
