Chamber Signs Onto Coalition Letter in Support of Funding the CHIPS Act

May 12, 2022
The Detroit Regional Chamber signed onto the Creating Helpful Incentives for the Production of Semiconductors (CHIPS) for America Act coalition letter. With the support of more than 200 organizations, the letter was sent to Members of the United States Congress.

As stated by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in organizing this letter, the demand for semiconductors has outstripped supply and approval of funding provisions would help meet this long-term challenge by incentivizing semiconductor research, design, and manufacturing in the United States.

View the full text of the letter below.

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS:

On behalf of the undersigned chambers of commerce and business organizations from across the United States, we urge you to swiftly complete negotiations on the Bipartisan Innovation Act to fund the Creating Helpful Incentives for the Production of Semiconductors (CHIPS) for America Act and enhanced Facilitating American-Built Semiconductors (FABS) Act. Doing so is critical to America’s workers and our long-term competitiveness.

Semiconductors are essential to nearly every sector of the economy, including aerospace, automobiles, communications, clean energy, information technology, and medical devices. Unfortunately, demand for semiconductors has outstripped supply, partly due to shifts arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. This has created a global chip shortage and resulted in lost growth and jobs, in turn underscoring the need for increased domestic manufacturing capacity.

Approval of funding provisions would help meet this long-term challenge by incentivizing semiconductor research, design, and manufacturing in the United States. This will in turn strengthen the U.S. economy, national security, and supply chain resilience and increase the supply of chips so important to our entire economy.

We urge you to expeditiously enact this important legislation.

Sincerely,

National
