                      SUPPORTING MANUFACTURING USA

  (Ms. STEVENS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. STEVENS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of Manufacturing 
USA, the network of research institutes that develop manufacturing 
technologies through public-private partnerships.
  Ten years since the creation of Manufacturing USA through the 
American Manufacturing and Innovation Act, or the RAMI Act, we are 
seeing firsthand why these institutes and funding them is so critical 
to our country.
  This was an initiative that started under President Obama and has 
carried forward through two Presidential administrations since. From 
MxD's ability to push the bounds of digital tools in manufacturing to 
ARM's ability to revolutionize the sector with robotics, to all of the 
amazing biomanufacturing institutes furthering materials science and 
biotechnology applications, to Remade's work of creating a circular 
economy, to PowerAmerica and its forthcoming sibling ensuring American 
leadership in the semiconductor industry, to my hometown hero, LIFT, 
creating technologies needed for an electric future.
  My friends, this is Manufacturing USA. This is workforce development 
in action.
