June 27, 2008: Congressman Wittman supports Anheuser-Busch efforts to remain an American company

Friday, June 27, 2008
(Washington, DC) - Congressman Rob Wittman released the following statement regarding InBev Corporation's attempt to acquire Anheuser-Busch:

 

"I'm very pleased to see that Anheuser-Busch's Board of Directors rejected InBev's takeover bid.  Quite frankly, I'm not sure InBev could ever propose a bid that would adequately reflect the value that Anheuser Busch provides to our country and the First District of Virginia."

"Anheuser-Busch is an American icon.  They provide solid, good paying jobs across the nation, including Virginia's First District, and I fear these jobs would be adversely affected by foreign ownership.  Furthermore, Anheuser-Busch is the model of corporate responsibility, contributing millions of dollars in philanthropic efforts nationwide.  These efforts would almost certainly be left by the wayside with an InBev takeover.  I will continue to support Anheuser-Busch's efforts to remain an American owned business."
