I am aware of Representative Matheson's concerns about technology infusion to small manufacturers. There is study by the National Academy of Public Administration that established the critical need for small manufacturers to have better access to changing technology, production techniques, and business management practices. This study also recommended the improving technology transfer and infusion to small and medium-sized manufacturers. The Committee supports the rapid integration of new technologies and innovations into the manufacturing industry. This integration will help small-to-medium sized manufacturers stay competitive in the global economy while promoting American innovation and preserving American jobs. Language in the bill will facilitate these goals.
