UPS chief heads ObamaÆs Export Council

Davis

   President Obama appointed Scott Davis, UPS chairman and chief executive officer, on Wednesday to head the White House's Export Council.
   'UPS strongly supports the removal of international trade barriers and has pledged to do all it can to help the United States realize the president's vision of doubling U.S. exports over the next five years,' Davis said in a statement.
   The Export Council advises the president on government policies and programs that affect U.S. trade performance, while also providing a forum to discuss and resolve trade-related problems among businesses, industrial, agricultural, labor and government sectors.
   UPS said, 'Davis' elevation to the council recognizes the importance of the express delivery industry to the nation's economy and in facilitating global trade.'
