Madam President, I just want to make clear, as the person who authored the Make It in America Act in the infrastructure bill--which my colleague from Florida did not support--that we have a Made in America Office now, and I am so appreciative of what the Biden administration is doing to make sure that we are not giving waivers unless absolutely necessary. We had a general manufacturing waiver for years--years and years and years. What they have done is taken the EV chargers out of that and said: OK, we will give you until July of next year. We will phase out any kind of a waiver because we want these American made. We want these American made. And so the effect of voting for this resolution is to forever have EV chargers as part of the waiver, where they never have to be American made. They can always be Chinese made. We want them American made, and I urge a ``no'' vote on this resolution. The joint resolution was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading and was read a third time. Vote on S.J. Res. 38 The PRESIDING OFFICER. The joint resolution having been read the third time, the question is, Shall the joint resolution pass?
