ATTENDING THE OPENING OF A NEW STATE-OF-THE-ART-RESEARCH FACILITY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS
Today I attended the ribbon cutting at the new state-of-the-art Texas Robotics Research Lab in the Anna Hiss Gymnasium on the University of Texas' campus.

There is no better place for this partnership than right here in Austin, which continues to grow as the epicenter of research and innovation in America.
God bless our military and God bless Texas.
