WASHINGTON – Today, during the first meeting of conferees to negotiate a compromise between the Senate’s United States Innovation and Competition Act (USICA) and the House’s U.S. Innovation and Competition (America COMPETES) Act, Representative Larry Bucshon, M.D. (R-Ind.) highlighted how American innovation and leadership should be the key priorities of this legislation.   

“If we truly want to stay competitive, let’s focus on maximizing the use of abundant resources we have here at home. Let’s focus on America. America ensures that the Chinese Communist Party is never playing on the same field as us by embracing innovation, unleashing domestic energy production and creating a reliable regulatory and permitting environment – not through government subsidies and wasteful spending. Lifting these barriers must be central to this legislation if we want to build off our storied history of global competitiveness and secure American leadership,” said Rep. Bucshon.
