Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the America COMPETES Act. I am proud to represent the Big Three automakers State and a district where GM is headquartered. I know how important it is to fix our supply chain. Semiconductors power our economy--everything from smart phones to computers to cars. We have to start making them here in America. This legislation will make sure of that while increasing American innovation, manufacturing, and R&D. And I am proud to offer two amendments to ensure that our efforts in the America COMPETES Act is centered around equality so that all Americans will benefit from the significant R&D investment of our critical goods while creating good jobs. Let's get this done so we can ensure that our economy is secure and strengthen our global competitiveness.
