                           CHIPS ACT OF 2022

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, as I announced earlier today, in a few 
moments, I will file cloture on a major piece of legislation that will 
help our country lower costs, increase American manufacturing, 
strengthen supply chains, and preserve American competitiveness on into 
the 21st century. It is a very significant piece of legislation, and it 
will ensure that America and the American economy remain No. 1 on into 
the 21st century.
  Specifically, our chips-plus package will now include incentives for 
domestic microchip projection, including ITC; support for our wireless 
communication supply chain--ORAN--and billions dedicated to scientific 
research, which includes many of the provisions Senator Young and I 
authored in the Endless Frontier Act in partnership 2 years ago.
  By filing cloture tonight, we are keeping this bill on track for 
final passage very soon. There has been strong bipartisan support 
already behind this legislation so I hope we can come to an agreement 
to get it done as quickly as it can because it is so important for the 
future of the country.
  Mr. President, what is the pending business?
