             SUPPORTING BIPARTISAN SUPPLY CHAIN PROVISIONS

  (Mrs. DINGELL asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the 
bipartisan supply chain provisions included in the House-passed America 
COMPETES Act.
  Every day, we are hearing from our constituents about inflation and 
rising prices, and one critical factor contributing to these issues is 
continued disruptions in the domestic supply chain.
  The America COMPETES supply chain subtitle establishes an office of 
manufacturing security and resilience within the Department of Commerce 
to monitor, identify, map, and mitigate supply chain vulnerabilities.
  It also authorizes billions in grants and loans to support the 
manufacturing of critical goods, equipment, and cutting-edge 
technologies that are essential to our national and economic security.
  The investments included in the bipartisan America COMPETES supply 
chain subtitle will allow us to preempt future shocks to our supply 
chain, and we must be proactive in strengthening our manufacturing 
capacity to secure our future.
  I hope that this critical subtitle remains in the bill and is 
retained in any final package the conference process yields.
