WASHINGTON, Jul 07, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Scott Davis, the chairman and
CEO of UPS /quotes/comstock/13*!ups/quotes/nls/ups
(UPS<http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/UPS>
*59.47*, +2.27, +3.97%) , today was named by President Barack Obama to the
President's Export Council.

"Boosting America's exports strengthens our economic growth and supports
millions of good, high-paying American jobs," Obama told a White House
gathering. "That's why I set a goal during my State of the Union address to
double our exports over the next five years. Since then, my administration
has worked to improve advocacy for our exporters, remove trade barriers and
enforce trade rules in an effort to ensure that the benefits of global trade
are broadly shared."

"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," said Davis. "I am
honored to be part of an initiative that will work to foster engagement in
the global economy for both small and large businesses."

As the top advisory committee on global trade, the President's Export
Council advises the President on government policies and programs that
affect U.S. trade performance, while also providing a forum for discussing
and resolving trade-related problems among businesses, industrial,
agricultural, labor and government sectors.

Davis' elevation to the Council recognizes the importance of the express
delivery industry to the nation's economy and in facilitating global trade.
