| Manufacturing
Initiative
The
manufacturing sector in this country faces many challenges.
While there are several major issues that policy makers
on the federal level could address that would improve the
business environment for manufactures, many of these are
highly contentious and unlikely to be resolved in a timely
manner.
Let me
be clear, we must not abandon big-ticket items, such as the
energy bill or lawsuit abuse reform.
However, I am afraid that, realistically, they stand as
long-term goals at this point.
At the very least, it will take longer to accomplish
than you or I would like.
But
that doesn’t mean we should be discouraged.
While we press these larger issues, we have to re-focus
our efforts on meaningful goals that can be achieved in the
shorter term.
I
firmly believe that we can turn our attention to those items
whose smaller investments reap large rewards for our
manufacturers and garner strong bipartisan support.
It is all about improving the environment for
manufacturers in this country.
Below
are four issues on which I am focused for my manufacturing
initiative. As I add new items to the initiative, this
page will be updated.

Counterfeiting in Manufactured Goods Act
The

Fairness in the AD/CVD Sunset Review Process |
