                    AMERICAN MANUFACTURING COMEBACK

  (Ms. BROWN of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. BROWN of Ohio. Madam Speaker, last year, we achieved the best 
year of job creation in history.
  The bipartisan infrastructure law will build on this historic growth, 
putting Americans to work, rebuilding our roads, bridges, water 
systems, and more. And the COMPETES Act, which invests in American 
research, innovation, and manufacturing will capitalize on this 
investment in our infrastructure and ensure the technologies of the 
future are made right here in America.
  The COMPETES Act will accelerate the production of semiconductors. It 
will strengthen our supply chain. It will boost our scientific 
leadership. And it will support good-paying domestic manufacturing 
jobs. Intel's recent $20 billion investment in a new computer chip 
plant in Ohio shows the path to the future.
  As President Biden said in his State of the Union, it is time to bury 
the term ``Rust Belt.'' With the COMPETES Act, we can make more in 
America. And I know Ohio workers stand ready to lead the American 
manufacturing comeback.
