Buy America Improvement Act Introduced to Boost Jobs: AAM Statement

Tags Buy America

Representative Daniel Lipinski (D-Ill.) introduced Buy America legislation Tuesday that seeks to create American jobs, promote U.S. manufacturing, reduce waivers, and ensure that taxpayer dollars are spent in the U.S. whenever practicable.   

Said Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM) President Scott Paul:

"Congressman Lipinski has been fighting for stronger Buy America preferences for years. We are pleased that he is introducing legislation to increase the amount of American-made iron, steel, and manufactured products used in U.S. infrastructure.

“Buy America preferences create jobs and support U.S. national security. It makes no sense for the government to buy steel from China when workers in Illinois are ready to meet the challenge.”
