                Proclamation 10425 of July 22, 2022

                
Made in America Week, 2022

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                During Made in America Week, we celebrate American 
                workers, the products they make, the services they 
                provide, and the incredible impact they have on our 
                Nation's economy. Across the world, ``Made in America'' 
                is a badge of quality, and this week we honor the proud 
                legacy and promising future of American goods, 
                services, jobs, and innovation--the collective engine 
                of American prosperity.

                The COVID-19 pandemic and the economic crisis it 
                caused, as well as Vladimir Putin's unjustified and 
                unprovoked war on Ukraine, have underscored the 
                importance of a strong and secure domestic industrial 
                base. We have seen in recent years that when goods made 
                overseas become unavailable or exorbitantly costly, 
                American families feel the pain. For years, ``Buy 
                American'' was a hollow slogan--too many goods and 
                services paid for by American taxpayers were outsourced 
                abroad at the expense of American jobs. In my 
                Administration, ``Buy American'' is an ironclad 
                promise--and we have taken bold action to make it real.

                During my first year in office, we created more 
                manufacturing jobs on average per month than any other 
                President has in the last 50 years. Businesses are 
                investing in American manufacturing and creating 
                thousands of good-paying union jobs to meet the demands 
                of our modern economy and rebuild that economy around 
                working people. We are creating more opportunity for 
                workers and businesses who have too often been 
                overlooked by investing in racial, gender, and 
                geographic diversity for industries across the country.

                The Federal Government is the largest buyer of consumer 
                goods in the world. To ensure that we are investing in 
                American products, I recently announced a procurement 
                rule that strengthens Buy American provisions by 
                increasing the Made in America content threshold from 
                55 percent to 75 percent so that goods have to be truly 
                made in America to be considered ``Made in America.'' 
                This represents the biggest change to the Buy American 
                Act in almost 70 years. I also named our Nation's 
                first-ever Made in America Director to serve in a high-
                level White House role. I continue to call on the 
                Congress to pass the Bipartisan Innovation Act so that 
                we can create more resilient domestic supply chains and 
                unleash the next generation of American innovation for 
                the industries and jobs of the future.

                The historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is critical 
                to advancing our Made in America agenda. We are 
                rebuilding our Nation's roads, bridges, ports, 
                airports, and so much more. We are constructing a 
                national network of 500,000 electric vehicle chargers 
                installed by union workers on highways and in 
                communities across America. We are ensuring that every 
                American has clean drinking water. We are creating 
                good-paying union jobs, revitalizing American 
                manufacturing, and positioning the United States to 
                continue to lead throughout the 21st century.

                In addition, we are leveraging a federally funded 
                national network--the Manufacturing Extension 
                Partnership--to help Government agencies connect with 
                new suppliers across the country, including Black, 
                Brown, and Native American-owned small businesses, 
                which have often been excluded from

                these opportunities. My Administration also launched 
                MadeInAmerica.gov to help American businesses in every 
                community identify available government contracts, and 
                we created a Made in America Council to help ensure 
                that our future is made in all of America by all of 
                America's workers.

                A vibrant domestic industrial base is key to building 
                an economy that works for working people and advancing 
                America's global leadership with American manufacturers 
                and workers at the forefront. During Made in America 
                Week, let us celebrate everything that is Made in 
                America and the workers, businesses, and innovators who 
                are the driving force behind their success. America is 
                the most innovative country in the world, and together, 
                we will build a competitive economy for the future 
                right here at home.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of 
                the United States of America, by virtue of the 
                authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws 
                of the United States, do hereby proclaim July 24 
                through July 30, 2022, as Made in America Week. I call 
                upon all Americans to observe this week by supporting 
                American workers and domestic businesses that are the 
                backbone of building a future here in America and 
                celebrating Made in America.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                twenty-second day of July, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand twenty-second, and of the Independence of the 
                United States of America the two hundred and forty-
                seventh.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
