Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Speaker, domestic manufacturing has always been a foundation stone of American prosperity and innovation. That remains true today.
I hail from America's industrial heartland, the Great Lakes and Midwest. Our people know firsthand how essential manufacturing is for the long-term health and growth of our country.
What America makes and grows, makes and grows America.
When manufacturing is at the forefront, working-class families and communities succeed. Together, invention and production lift up economic growth and build a middle class. That is why I am proud to reintroduce the Bipartisan Office of Manufacturing and Industrial Innovation Policy Act of 2023.
This legislation will create an Office of Manufacturing and Industrial Innovation to elevate at the highest levels manufacturing policy.
This office will ensure that voices from the manufacturing sector, small business, and labor unions are heard.
It is time for the Federal Government to put American manufacturing and workers first.
This bipartisan legislation does exactly that.
