00:00 Mr. Speaker, I am excited that this week the House is expected to take action on the bipartisan
00:12 Promoting Resilience Supply Chains Act.
00:15 Supply chains are an issue that touches every American, whether they know it or not.
00:20 From shortages of PPE and baby formula to lumber and glass for housing to semiconductor
00:27 chips that power our cars, weakened supply chains can delay critical goods that we rely
00:34 on.
00:35 That's why this bill is so important.
00:37 It's an issue that I've been working on since the pandemic, and Dr. Larry Bouchon
00:42 and I worked tirelessly to introduce this bill after many weeks of negotiations.
00:48 This legislation creates a whole-of-government approach to mapping, monitoring, and proactively
00:53 strengthening our supply chains, helping us identify shocks before they occur.
00:58 It enjoys the support of over 150 organizations and was passed out of committee unanimously.
01:05 Making our supply chains more resilient will help us create good-paying jobs, lower costs
01:11 for consumers, grow our economy, and strengthen our national security.
01:15 I ask our colleagues to vote yes on this legislation, and I look forward to President Biden signing
01:21 it.
01:22 I yield back.
