The supply of critical minerals are essential to our economy, vital defense systems and national security.
Paul Gosar
There is no good reason we should rely on the good will of China for materials that are abundantly available in the United States.
The passage of my amendment will reduce our reliance on China, bolster our country’s economy and support American manufacturing jobs.
U.S. Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S.
Arizona
