I am constantly hearing from manufacturing companies in my district that they have a hard time finding employees who have even basic math and science skills.

I think that is very important, and that Mr. Davis had brought up that this will assist an entire industry.

Although we have heard time and time again about the crucial link between economic growth and a vibrant U.S. manufacturing sector, I think these facts bear repeating.

as manufacturing leaves this country, that is the great fear, that innovation will also leave the country

I have been a strong supporter of the NNMI concept, and I am proud to be a co-sponsor of H.R. 2996.

I believe H.R. 2996 is a smart policy.

I am looking forward to hearing from Mr. Reed and Mr. Kennedy about their bill.

We have great R&D that goes on in this county, and, unfortunately, so much of it does not get deployed into innovation.

We have to take note of countries such as Korea, Japan, and Germany that have a larger share of the advanced manufacturing sector than the United States.

If we want to create the environment that will produce the high-paying jobs of the future and help this country keep its competitive edge, then we need to do more to support and expand advanced manufacturing.
