                               CHIPS ACT

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Speaker, I rise today in solidarity with our 
brothers and sisters of the United Auto Workers as well as America's 
auto manufacturers.
  Every day, nearly a million hardworking Americans go to work on 
factory floors across our country building the finest vehicles in the 
world, but our workers and manufacturers cannot compete on the global 
stage without a robust inventory of the semiconductor chips that help 
power the auto industry.
  The CHIPS Act will invest $2 billion to turbocharge domestic 
production of legacy auto chips and unleash America's 21st century 
innovation. The CHIPS Act will support good-paying jobs for the 
American middle class, including tens of thousands of auto workers 
across Ohio at Jeep, Ford, and GM.
  Intel just announced a $20 billion investment in semiconductor 
factories in Ohio, but that is just the beginning. Let's revitalize 
America's manufacturing might, re-shore production here in the United 
States, and create thousands of new living-wage jobs for our workers 
and families.
  Madam Speaker, it is time to pass the CHIPS Act and move America 
forward by freeing us from foreign chip domination.
