We agree. Manufacturing is key to a strong economy.

See who agrees.

John P. Surma

Chairman and CEO

United States Steel Corporation

We agree. U. S. Steel has been at the forefront of American manufacturing for more than 110 years, supplying steel to our nation's biggest industries.

We are in a unique position as both a Chevron supplier and a part of the energy supply chain. Not only do we provide steel products for exploration, production and transportation, we are consumers of energy. We understand the importance of developing all energy resources and providing the high-quality, reliable steel pipe necessary for natural gas development.

Affordable, reliable energy enables us to keep costs competitive and allows us to reinvest in our operations here in the United States. In recent years, we have invested approximately $100 million into the construction of a new heat treating and finishing line at our tubular products facility in Lorain, Ohio, and assumed operational control of McKeesport Tubular Operations in Pennsylvania, increasing employment and production in the process.

We are proud to play an important role in the continued growth of the economy, and to do so in a safe and environmentally responsible manner.

Gary Luquette

President

Exploration and Production Company
Chevron North America

At Chevron, our primary mission is to produce affordable and reliable energy.

This year Chevron will invest over $8 billion in energy projects in the United States. We will spend that money on everything from exploration and production to refining and marketing fuels.

That level of investment has a huge impact on other industries, such as manufacturing. We're placing large orders for steel pipes, cement and other materials needed to develop oil and natural gas. And supporting American jobs in the process.

America has abundant resources. And we have partners across industry to help us develop them - increasing our energy security and global competiveness at a time when we need this the most. Together, we keep people working and the economy moving forward.
