KEN PAXTON
TEXAS STATE SENATOR

Jun.ell,2Ol3
Chairman Irving A. Williamson U.S. International Trade Commission 500 E Street, SW Washington, DC 20436

Dear Chairman Williamson:

As a Texas State legislator, creating jobs and growing the Texas economy is a top priority. I understand that the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) shares the goal of maintaining jobs in the United States, which is why I write to encourage consideration of the economic impact of an exclusion order in the 337~TA-796investigation.
On April 16, 2013, the Texas House of Representatives and the Texas State Senate passed resolutions honoring Samsung for its many years of investment in economic growth and job creation in Texas.

Samsung Telecommunications America (STA), based in Richardson, TX and the Senate district I represent, employs more than 1,100 workers and contractors in Texas, many of whom are located in the Coppell, TX facility where the large majority of Sarnsung smartphones and tablets are packaged for U.S. distribution. In addition, Samsung Austin Semiconductor employs 5,000 workers and generates $1.5 billion in revenue each year, much of which is mneled back into the Texas economy.
The Texas Legislature wants to encourage more economic growth in our state, and an overly broad or difficult-to-interpret exclusion order could have unintended economic consequences for Texas workers, consumers and families.

Therefore, I hope the ITC will ensure that any exclusion order is crafted in such a way that does not harm Texas workers, consumers, and families. Thank you for your consideration of my views in this important matter.
With Regards,

Carnot.
