                      SUPPORTING AMERICAN WORKERS

  (Ms. NEWMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. NEWMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate how the America 
COMPETES Act will empower manufacturing workers and small businesses on 
Chicago's southwest side and suburbs.
  For too long, America's supply chain has relied on countries like 
China to bring us critical goods and services. And who has suffered? Of 
course, it is not the CEOs who ship jobs overseas. It is America's 
factory workers, small businesses, and local manufacturers.
  This bill is for them. And that is exactly why I have introduced 
amendments to this bill to boost American jobs and strengthen the 
supply chain with new workforce development programs.
  Let's support American workers, invest in American businesses, and 
let's create millions of American jobs.
  By passing the America COMPETES Act, we will do just that.
