  Ms. BROWNLEY. Mr. Speaker, from day one, House Democrats have been 
working with the Biden administration to build a stronger and more 
secure future for the American people. That is why we recently passed 
the COMPETES Act to fix our national supply chains, boost competition, 
and strengthen U.S. manufacturing.
  Last week, I had the opportunity to visit Haas Automation in my 
district in Oxnard, California. Haas manufactures over 90 percent of 
all American-made precision manufacturing tools and is the last

that are essential to most manufacturing in America.
  We are working to ensure American manufacturing companies like Haas 
can continue to compete globally and continue to thrive.
  That includes ensuring a level playing field with foreign competitors 
and ensuring U.S. manufacturers have access to adequate supplies of 
essential semiconductor chips.
  That is why we must get the America COMPETES Act across the finish 
line, because the success of American manufacturing will lead to the 
success of American working families.
