Strengthen the Supply Chain and End Dependence on China: Move supply chains away from China, expand U.S. manufacturing, and enhance America’s economic competitiveness and cyber resiliency.
Nicholas A. Langworthy (NY) is listed among the cosponsors of H.R. 4137, a bill to require certain flags of the United States to be made in the United States.
Latest Action: House - 06/16/2023 Referred to the Subcommittee on Innovation, Data, and Commerce. This bill has the status Introduced.
The bipartisan letter, signed by Rep. Nick Langworthy and others, urged the Department of War to partner with AFRL in Rome, NY to invest in a domestic source of gallium. The lawmakers wrote that China holds a 98 percent share of the global supply and called for a secure and resilient domestic gallium supply chain.
Rep. Nick Langworthy announced the NY SMART I-Corridor's selection for $40 million in Tech Hubs funding and said the investment will create high-paying jobs and strengthen national security by reducing reliance on foreign semiconductor manufacturing.
Assessments
Langworthy made concrete same-term efforts aligned with the promise, including cosponsoring domestic-sourcing manufacturing legislation, supporting Tech Hubs funding aimed at expanding domestic semiconductor capacity, and joining an official push for a domestic gallium supply chain to reduce China dependence. However, the broad promised outcome of moving supply chains away from China and expanding U.S. manufacturing was not fully delivered, and one cited bill did not advance beyond introduction/referral. The record supports partial delivery through targeted actions and investments, not full fulfillment of the broad supply-chain shift.
