To promote efficiency across the country’s supply chain, Commerce Committee Chairwoman Maria Cantwell recently pressed colleagues to advance legislation meant to enhance the flow of freight.
The chairwoman argued Congress has “caught on that the supply chain is key to our economic strategy, and that a robust supply chain in the United States of America means we’re going to continue to have robust employment in the United States of America.”
After myriad industries responded to COVID-19 related disruptions to the distribution of refined petroleum, as well as a shortage of semiconductor chips used by the automobile sector, congressional policymakers say they are pursuing a proactive approach to supply chain concerns.
