“I thank my colleague for joining me in this colloquy on manufacturing, both broadly and more specifically on this bill. I am grateful for the leadership that Senator Stabenow and Senator Graham, as the cochairs of the Senate Manufacturing Caucus, have shown on this particular bill and the passion and the perseverance that Senators Brown and Blunt have shown in bringing this great idea into legislative form and in advancing it. There are so many other bills that we can and should take up that will bring strength and vitality to the American manufacturing sector. But it is my real hope that S. 1468, the Revitalize American Manufacturing and Innovation Act will be the next in a series of important bipartisan manufacturing bills that we will take up to make sure we are doing our job to help grow high quality American jobs. I yield the floor. Reinstated Amendments The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Chair was in error in striking down amendments Nos. 2877 and 2878. Those amendments are reinstated. The Senator from Virginia.”
