1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Critical Supply Chains Commission Act . 2. Findings; Sense of Congress (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) Many Americans were shocked to find that the United States was unable to find or produce enough face masks, ventilators, hand sanitizer, testing kits, hospital beds, sedatives, and other medical necessities in response to the COVID–19 crisis due to limitations in the manufacturing supply chain and our dependence on foreign suppliers. (2) Shortages of medical supplies and equipment are just one example of the risks we face due to the United States reliance on other countries for making many of our critical products. The United States also relies on other countries for— (A) technologies involved with renewable energies and car battery manufacturing; (B) rare earth materials that are essential to many high-technology products, including cell phones, satellites, and computers; (C) fabricating the most precise integrated circuits and microchips that are needed for complex electronics used in weapon systems, space systems, automobiles, and a variety of consumer products; (D) production of advanced machine tools and production equipment that United States factories need to manufacture their products; (E) delivery of precision scientific equipment needed to produce breakthroughs in nanotechnology, medicine, and future batteries for electric vehicles; (F) manufacturing of clothing and other textiles; (G) production and distribution of food and agricultural goods; (H) other critical products where substantial harm would come to United States economic security, national defense, health and wellness, or way of life if the supply chains were compromised or no longer available
