             AMERICA COMPETES ACT LEVELS THE PLAYING FIELD

  (Mr. MRVAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. MRVAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my profound 
appreciation that the House is expected to consider this week H.R. 
4521, the America COMPETES Act of 2022.
  Indiana's First Congressional District is home to an incredible 
manufacturing, steel, and industrial workforce. These workers can 
compete with anyone in the world. When they are provided with a level 
playing field, they can thrive in our global economy.
  I am pleased that the America COMPETES Act will take historic strides 
to defend the American worker, our manufacturing base, and grow our 
economy.
  Together we can take action in this legislation to address supply 
chain vulnerabilities, increase the production of American-made 
semiconductors, and improve our ability to defend against illegally 
traded goods.
  I commend all the leaders for advancing this legislation, and I look 
forward to its prompt consideration on the House floor.
