“I rise to express my strong support for S. 4, the National Competitiveness Act of 1994. We won the cold war because there was a national commitment to win it. We dedicated the resources to the research and development and to the manufacturing that were required to win. That dedication produced the best military in the world, and much of it was produced by Californians. Now, in the post-cold-war period, we are engaged in another great competition, for economic prosperity. In order to successfully compete with our rivals around the world, we must once again have a national commitment to dedicate the resources we need to fight and win. And once again, California is ready to accept the challenge to do the research and development of the new technologies that will lead to the new industries that produce the best products in the world. The bill before the Senate today contains a number of provisions which I believe will spark our Nation's manufacturing sector and improve our national competitiveness.”
