“I thank my colleague for yielding. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of the rule, to voice my strong support of the America COMPETES Act, and to highlight pivotal supply chain provisions that I worked on with Representatives Malinowski and Kinzinger. As I have traveled Delaware over the last summer, speaking to businesses and constituents, I heard a lot about three things: workforce, inflation, and supply chains. The provisions we are discussing today would tackle all three, ensuring that the manufacturing of critical components of goods we rely on every day are brought back home, creating good-paying union jobs. At a time when Americans are facing rising prices and manufacturers are struggling to obtain the raw materials they need to produce consumer products, we must act. These provisions are the solution to strengthening our supply chains while preventing these disruptions from impacting us again in the future. And that is why I am so proud that these provisions enjoy support from key stakeholder groups, from the United Steelworkers to the National Association of Manufacturers. Let's work together to support American jobs, maintain our national security, and lower the price of consumer goods. Let's pass this bill. {time} 1300”
