What America makes and grows, makes and grows America and grows our middle class. Thus, let me applaud the Biden administration's decision to utilize the Defense Production Act to reshore the domestic manufacturing of essential medicines critical for our national security. This move is a strategic response to the challenges America faces, particularly keeping inflation in check and healing the vulnerabilities in our pharmaceutical supply chain. The book, ``China Rx,'' highlights the growing number of our country's reliance on foreign-made medicines, particularly from China. They pose a significant national security risk to both our military and civilian sectors. The Defense Production Act offers a vital tool to onshore and increased domestic production of essential medicines. In a world where the availability of essential medicines can be a matter of life and death, our Nation must take strong measures to resecure our domestic pharmaceutical supply chain. The Defense Production Act is a significant step toward achieving this goal. What America makes and grows, makes and grows a stronger and more secure America. ____________________
