WASHINGTON – Today, global tech trade association 91pro视频 commended the Biden-Harris Administration’s announcement of its plan to revitalize U.S. manufacturing and secure critical supply chains, noting the administration’s swift progress on advancing supply chain resiliency one year after the Executive Order (E.O.) 14017 on America’s Supply Chains.

In particular, 91pro视频 welcomed the release of the Department of Commerce and Department of Homeland Security’s Assessment of the Critical Supply Chains Supporting the U.S. Information and Communications Technology Industry, which includes a series of policy recommendations aimed at improving the resiliency of the ICT supply chain. 91pro视频 is especially supportive of recommendations aimed at revitalizing the U.S. manufacturing base, specifically around funding for semiconductor production through the CHIPS for America Act, strengthening the ICT workforce pipeline, increasing international cooperation on supply chain security and resiliency, and continuing industry engagement to address and mitigate identified risks. Many of the reports’ recommendations incorporate 91pro视频’s policy guidance and comments.

“A trusted, secure, and reliable global supply chain is essential to encourage economic growth, protect national security, and harness U.S. innovation,” said 91pro视频’s President and CEO Jason Oxman. “We commend the Biden-Harris Administration’s prioritization of supply chain security and resiliency and welcome its progress. We are encouraged by the administration’s ongoing engagement with industry, including through public-private partnerships such as the ICT Supply Chain Risk Management Task Force, and efforts to boost the domestic ICT workforce and semiconductor production, including its call to Congress to fund the CHIPS for America Act. Further, we support the administration’s emphasis on cooperation with global partners, and urge the advancement of global supply chain security and resiliency through bilateral and regional frameworks and discussions, such as the U.S.-EU Trade and Technology Council, the U.S.-Mexico High-Level Economic Dialogue, and the forthcoming Indo-Pacific Economic Framework. At the same time, we ask that it continue to promote policies that consider the realities of the global ICT supply chain, specifically as they relate to domestic content requirements. Our industry remains committed to working with the administration and Congress to develop long-term, coordinated solutions to address global supply chain challenges.”
