On the recordFebruary 2, 2022
I thank Chairwoman Johnson for allowing me to speak in support of H.R. 5421, the America COMPETES Act of 2022. Congress must advance this legislation to ensure American technology and manufacturing has the innovation advantage to continue to grow our economy, strengthen our national security, and tackle our supply chain issues. Indiana's First Congressional District is home to an incredible manufacturing, steel, and industrial complex, and I want to recognize my Senate colleague from Indiana, Senator Todd Young, for his initiative on the Senate companion legislation, the Endless Frontier Act. Our Nation has been faced with technology challenges in the past. Today, we have the opportunity to legislate together, with our collective interests in mind, to protect our workers and lead the world in innovation. Madam Speaker, I thank Chairwoman Johnson for the time, and I encourage all my House colleagues to support the America COMPETES Act. {time} 1645
