Madam President. on October 14 through October 17. representatives of the Amber Valley Borough Council of England are visiting the Blackstone Valley in Rhode Island to colebratq the 200th anniversary of the successful operation of a textile factory that started our industrial revolution. To all those involved in this celebration I extend my sincere greetings. I also would like to encourage my colleagues in the Senate and. in fact. citizens throughout our Nation to reflect on what is being celebrated. Samuel Slater emigrated from the Amber Valley during the later part of the 1700s. He was an able and dedicated apprentice in the fledgling textile manufacturing concerns of that region. A solid career was doubtless before him. but he had an adventurous spirit as well as confidence in his talent. and he came to a new but weak nation.
