Semiconductor production can and should be done in America, and the Inland Northwest is the right place to develop and produce this critical technology … I congratulate the American Aerospace Materials Manufacturing Center on its Tech Hubs designation. This selection is crucial to the Inland Northwest and will enable a strong domestic supply chain.
