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

eshoo of california and mr. pence of indiana. i am pleased that we can look at ways to attract investment into our country as opposed to shifting more demands onto our taxpayers. this legislation requires select u.s.a. to find ways that we can bolster foreign direct investment in u.s. semiconductor supply chains. semiconductor technology powers much of our modern economy from payment cards, automobiles, cell phone, the list goes on. while we have led in chip design over the years, we have seen chip manufacturing and its surrounding supply chains shift overseas. and among the many lessons we learned from covid-19 and the pan democrat sick that the united states must lead in both the design and production of semiconductor chips to ensure we do not fall behind china. i encourage my colleagues to support this measure and this legislation and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from indiana reserves. the gentleman from new jersey is recognized. mr. pallone: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield myself su
