RELEASE: KHANNA CELEBRATES HOUSE PASSAGE OF THE CHIPS AND SCIENCE ACT
Washington, DC – Today, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), Congressional Progressive Caucus Deputy Whip and lead House sponsor of the Endless Frontier Act, issued the following statement following the passage of the CHIPS and Science Act in the House:
"This is a very exciting moment for our country. Congress just passed a transformative science and technology bill that will revitalize American manufacturing, create jobs, and lower prices. In doing so, we ensure that our country will remain a leader in the 21st century and competitive with adversaries like China.
I am glad to see a number of provisions from my bipartisan, bicameral Endless Frontier Act with Majority Leader Schumer, Senator Young and Representative Gallagher in the final package including funding to establish ten tech hubs across the country and expand the National Science Foundation to advance research in the key technology areas of the future.
This bill will help bring about a new, economic patriotism that can help bring Americans together and stitch this country back together. I'm proud to have played a role in its passage and look forward to seeing it swiftly signed into law."
