BRING SUPPLY CHAINS HOME
(Mr. MALINOWSKI asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute.)
Mr. MALINOWSKI. Madam Speaker, from war in Europe to pandemic around
the world to potential crisis in Asia, one of the lessons we are
learning is that America should never be dependent on strategic
adversaries like China or Russia for the goods most critical to our
economic and national security.
Whether it is PPE, pharmaceutical ingredients, microchips, or the
advanced battery technologies that will power the future, we must bring
our supply chains home.
We can do this by enacting into law the bipartisan supply chain
resiliency provisions in the America COMPETES Act.
This section of the bill, which I helped write, makes one of the
biggest investments to spur domestic manufacturing in our Nation's
history. It has been endorsed by the National Association of
Manufacturers, the United Steelworkers, the National Defense Industry
Association, and more than 20 organizations, and the list is growing
each day.
I urge that any competitiveness bill that goes to the President for
his signature include these important provisions in the America
COMPETES Act.
