WASHINGTON鈥擠ec.聽11, 2020鈥擳he 91成人 (91成人) released the following statement from president and CEO John聽Neuffer聽in response to聽Senate passage today of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The NDAA includes Title XCIX, 鈥淐reating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors for America,鈥 which sets forth provisions authorizing the establishment of federal incentives to promote semiconductor manufacturing and federal investments in semiconductor research. Following House passage earlier this week, Senate approval today means the bill will be sent to the president for signature.

鈥淐ongressional approval of the NDAA is a landmark victory for America鈥檚 economy, national and supply chain security, and global leadership in the technologies of today and tomorrow. The legislation supports necessary investments in domestic chip manufacturing and research that will help sustain and strengthen America鈥檚 longstanding lead in semiconductors and the many technologies they enable.

鈥淲e聽commend the leadership of the provisions’ dedicated聽champions in Congress, a bipartisan group led by Sens. Cornyn, Warner, Cotton, and Schumer in the Senate and Reps. Matsui and McCaul in the House. We applaud bipartisan Senate approval of the NDAA today, as well as House passage with broad support earlier this week, and we urge the president to sign the legislation into law in short order. Doing so will help strengthen U.S. semiconductor technology and keep America at the leading edge of innovation for years to come.鈥
