               BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS ON THE RIGHT TRACK

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Speaker, I rise to thank President Joe Biden, the 
first President I have ever noted that asked for a review of America's 
supply chain for manufactured goods. It grew out of his interest in the 
pandemic and the fact we couldn't supply our ventilators, our face 
masks, our gloves, all the protective equipment for our healthcare 
workers.
  He is on the right track because all of that has been outsourced. I 
think one of the reasons we can't get vaccines at the level we need is 
because the ingredients have been outsourced. America needs to bring 
back industry here.
  Today's New York Times has a story, ``In China, an Electric Car Maker 
Loses Money but Thinks Big,'' and I commend this story to the Biden 
administration and everyone who is listening.
  We have to have a fair playing field globally in order to maintain 
manufacturing in this country because places like China play under the 
table. They have vehicles that lose money in the marketplace, but it is 
a state-run economy, and they will subsidize what they have to in order 
to win that market share.
  Congratulations, President Biden, you are on the right track.
