That includes our United States Trade Representative, Ambassador Ron Kirk. Where's Ron? There he is.

I especially want to thank the two departments and leaders who took the lead on this summit -- Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Please give them a big round of applause.

We're joined by members of Congress who work every day to help their constituents realize the American Dream,

and whose life stories reflect the diversity and equal opportunity that we cherish as Americans:

Nydia Velazquez, who is also, by the way, the chairwoman of our Small Business Committee in the House of Representatives.

Keith Ellison is here. And Andre Carson is here.
