ARLINGTON, Va. — The Consumer Brands Association and the National Association of Manufacturers led 134 organizations in calling on Senate leaders to include critical House-passed supply chain provisions in the final version of the USICA-COMPETES bill. Consumer Brands released the following statement from Supply Chain and Logistics Vice President Tom Madrecki: 

“The Manufacturing Security and Resilience Program and other critical provisions in the House-passed COMPETES bill are a policy foundation that empowers the U.S. to tackle historic supply chain disruptions as swiftly and efficiently as possible – and guard against them in the future.  

“Bipartisan legislation with robust supply chain provisions and funding to support manufacturing in America is a clear decision in our post-pandemic world, where consumers and companies are contending with rising costs.”
