AMT - AMT Urges Action on a Bipartisan Manufacturing Agenda in 2014

REVIEW

AMT ?The Association For Manufacturing Technology announced that its Board of Directors sent a letter to the U.S. congressional leadership requesting action on a bipartisan manufacturing agenda in 2014.

The letter urges House and Senate leaders to consider legislation where there is common ground and points to several initiatives with bipartisan support that would strengthen U.S. manufacturing if enacted into law, including reauthorization of the America COMPETES Act; renewal of trade promotion authority; and passage of tax, regulatory and immigration reforms.

“There are plenty of places where Congress can agree,?said AMT

President Douglas K. Woods. “The National Network for Manufacturing Innovation bill is one example. It now includes a requirement that the President establish a national manufacturing strategy. AMT has been advocating for exactly that through its Manufacturing Mandate for the past several years.?/div>

The Revitalize American Manufacturing and Innovation Act (RAMI) recently passed the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee. The bipartisan bill, introduced by Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Roy Blunt (R-MO), would establish a national network of regional manufacturing institutes modeled after America Makes (NAMII), the pilot institute in Youngstown, Ohio which is focused on additive manufacturing and 3D printing.

The Administration announced three new institutes earlier this year, including the Digital Manufacturing and Design Institute (DMDI) in Chicago.
