                    BUILDING TECHNOLOGICAL SUPREMACY

  (Mr. Higgins of New York asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. HIGGINS of New York. Madam Speaker, Taiwan, a country of less 
than 24 million people in East Asia, manufactures 92 percent of the 
world's advanced computer chips. You can't buy technological supremacy, 
but you can build it.
  Today, the House will vote to approve the CHIPS Act, which will make 
a $280 billion investment in the design and actual making of advanced 
computer chips right here in America; $50 billion for research and 
development and for the construction of chip manufacturing facilities 
in America.
  The bill also includes $10 billion to establish 20 regional hubs, 
regional centers of innovation. Buffalo, New York, is well-positioned 
to be one of those.
  I urge this House to approve the CHIPS Act, and the Commerce 
Department to select Buffalo as one of the regional hubs.
