mr. pence: thank you, mr. speaker, thank you, congressman bilirakis. i'm proud to champion the fifth re-authorization of the animal drug user fee act with my colleague, congresswoman schrier. this important legislation is critical to ensuring safe and effective drugs of the our nation's livestock industry and farm animals for the next five years. it provides resources for the review of new and energetic animal drugs, it celebrates the development of animal therapeutics and promotes a more predictable and streamlined review process. it's important to hold them responsible and provide innovation for pet owners. farmers, ranchers and rural communities across southern indiana rely on veterinary

medicines and therapeutics produced by animal drug manufacturers. innovators in the hoosier state like alainco animal health are leading the charge to keep american farm animals safe and healthy. we need innovation in veterinarian medicine to secure the best care for our nation's veterinary patients. this legislation would preserve the security of america's foot supply by making certain the medications administered to food producing animals are safe for animal and human health. i urge passage of the legislation and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from florida reserves. the gentlewoman from washington is recognized. ms. schrier: i have no speakers, i'm prepared to close. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves.

mr. bilirakis: i have no further speakers. i just wanted to say this is a necessary bill. i know you'd like to close is that correct? ms. schrier: i'm prepared to close, yes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized. ms. schrier: i want to thank you for working together on this bipartisan bill. i encourage my colleagues to vote yes on this bill to make sure we can speed novel medications to animals in this country and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields back. the gentleman from florida is recognized. mr. bilirakis: this is a great bill, it's a necessary bill for our farmers but also our animal owners and i used to be chair of the humane barn caucus and we absolutely love our animals. i appreciate mr. pence and ms. schrier doing an excellent job on this particular bill. i urge unanimous passage. thank you and i yield back.

the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the question is, will the house suspend the rules and pass the bill h.r. 1418. those in favor say aye. h.r. 1418 as amended. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, 2/3 being in the affirmative, the rules are suspended, the bill is passed, and without objection the motion to reconsider is laid on the table. for what purpose does the gentleman from florida seek recognition? mr. bilirakis: mr. speaker, i move that the house suspend the rules and pass the bill h.r. 813 as amended. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the title of the bill. the clerk: h.r. 813 a bill to direct the secretary of commerce in coordinate with the heads of other relevant departments and agencies to conduct interagency review and report to congress on

ways to increase the global competitiveness of the united states in attracting foreign investment. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from florida, mr. bilirakis, and the gentlewoman from washington, msl 20 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from florida. mr. bilirakis: thank you, mr. speaker. i ask unanimous consent that all members have five legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and insert extraneous materials in the record on this particular bill. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. bilirakis: thank you. i yield myself as much time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. bilirakis: thank you. i rise in support of h.r. 813, the global investment in american jobs act of 2023. i want to thank representatives pence for his work on this legislation and representative eshoo and blunt rochester and all the co-sponsors of this and

their support for this very important piece of legislation. foreign direct investment, f.d.i., has proven to be critical for america's economy and it is also an integral part of our nation's technological leadership. still, f.d.i. can be deterred by unnecessary barriers that prohibit its expansion from trusts in countries, al-- from trusted country, allies and friendly economies. removing these barriers will ensure the united states remains the global leader in attracting f.d.i. this legislation will require the secretary of commerce, along with heads of other relevant federal departments and agencies, to conduct an interagency review and report to congress on ways to increase the global competitiveness of the u.s. in attracting f. dimplet from trusted countries. i repeat, trusted countries. and economies.

this is an important distinction that my friend from indiana included, and i appreciatethis. to ensure we focus on ways to increase f.d.i. from our allies, again, from our allies, rather than countries like china, russia, or anyone else who wants to do harm to our great country. i urge my colleagues to support this legislation and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentlewoman from washington is recognized. ms. schrier: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield myself as much time as i may consume. mr. speaker, i rise to speak in support of h.r. 813, the global investments in american jobs act. as this legislation's name would suggest, we should work to encourage foreign direct investment that supports high quality scwhreeshes in the united states. foreign direct support and investment from nonadversarial

nations can be used to grow critical sectors important for our economic success and our national security, include big creating new jobs in our nation's manufacturing sector. once the envy of the world, our manufacturing base has faced steady head winds for the last several decades. our nation's share of global manufacturing activity declined from 28% in 2002 to just over 17% in 2020. investment in america's small and medium manufacturers, the bedrock of our industrial might, has also declined over the past 20 years by more than $200 billion. and in that same two decade period, our domestic manufacturing base has shed more than four million jobs. it is time to reverse these trends by revitalizing our nation's manufacturing industry and bringing jobs back home. the work we did last congress,

passing the bipartisan infrastructure law, the inflation reduction act, and the chips and science act, are already helping to turn the tide. the united states added nearly 700,000 manufacturing jobs during president biden's first 20 months in office. total construction spending on manufacturing in the united states has skyrocketed to nearly $200 billion per month, more than doubling prepandemic levels. foreign direct investment can be another part of the solution to revitalize american manufacturing and job creation. over a third of foreign investments are in domestic manufacturing, exceeding a teal of $120 billion a year. this bill will ensure that we keep that flow of investment strong and that such investments support quality, good-paying jobs right here at home. i want to commend representatives pence and eshoo for their leadership on this issue and urge my colleagues to support this legislation. with that, i reserve the balance

of my time. the speaker pro tempore: thele gentlewoman from washington reserves. the gentleman from florida is recognized. mr. bilirakis: i yield five minutes or as much time as he wishes to consume to the gentleman from the great state of indiana, mr. pence. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. pence: thank you again, mr. chairman. i rise today to urge my colleagues to join me in supporting my legislation, h.r. 813, the global investment in american jobs act. this bill seeks to improve the attractiveness of foreign investment from allied nations and identify barriers that are holding back american competitiveness. over 200,000 hoosiers are directly employed by international companies. 56 of which are in the manufacturing sector. because of our long, storied

history as a lead for the manufacturing, companies across the world have keyed in to indiana. before companies started outsourcing operations to china and other country, company towns had lifted small and rural communities across the hoosier state. take cummins engine company, for example. i've lived in columbus, indiana, my entire life and nearly every family, my own included, has some connection to the company that has helped build and grow columbus. beyond indiana, communities across the country share similar stories where foreign investment has lifted up communities with stable, good-paying jobs. international companies in the u.s. employee eight million workers and over the past five years have created 400,000 new manufacturing jobs. as companies across the world

rethink their partnerships with the chinese communist party and other bad actors, we have an opportunity to leverage investments from allied nations. importantly, this legislation would seek to uncover actions from the c.c.p. to gain access to u.s. markets and circumvent national security laws. for decades, china has built a calculated strategy to corner global supply chains through i.p. theft and free market manipulation. h.r. 813 addresses anti-competitive practices of the c.c.p. to undermine innovation and gain footholds in next generation technologies. i'm encouraged that the global investment in american jobs act has long had broad, bipartisan support like from my colleague from california, congresswoman

eshoo. and i look forward to working across the aisle to pass this legislation. i urge support nor bill and yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from florida reserves. the gentlewoman from washington is recognized. ms. schrier: thank you, mr. speaker. i have no further speakers on this topic, i am prepyred to close -- prepared to close. i would just like to summarize by saying that this is an excellent bill. it encourages -- there are so many ways to build up our manufacturing sector and to invest in our work force. many of those we have already done through the infrastructure law and the inflation reduction act and the chips and science act. this is another way to shore up jobs and manufacturing here at home by encouraging foreign investments from friendly nations. with that, i'm going to encourage my colleagues to support this bill, encourage a yes vote and i yield back the remainder of my time.

the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields back. the gentleman from florida is recognized. mr. bilirakis: i just want to tell you how proud i am to be able to work with these great people here on a very important bill. we need to encourage legitimate foreign investment in our country. i know the other countries create the right environment for us to invest in their countries. and it's really been a great success. we want to continue to do that. but again, we're emphasizing that these have to be legitimate foreign investments from with that i commend the sponsors and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the question is will the house suspend the rules and pass the bill h.r. 813 as amended.

those in favor, say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, 2/3 being in the affirmative -- mr. bilirakis: i ask for the yeas and nays. the speaker pro tempore: the yeas and nays are requested. all those in taking this vote by the yeas and nays will rise and remain standing until counted. a sufficient number having arisen, yeas and nays are ordered pursuant to clause 8 of rule 20, further proceedings of this question will be postponed.
