BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

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.
