Proclamation 10234 of July 26, 2021
Made in America Week, 2021
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Made in America Week recognizes a basic idea: when we
spend taxpayer dollars, we should buy American products
and support American jobs. The Congress passed the Buy
American Act almost 90 years ago, but we have never
fully lived up to this principle.
During Made in America Week, we recognize that just as
American manufacturing was the Arsenal of Democracy in
World War II, American products and services must be
part of the engine of American prosperity today. We
also reject the defeatist view that the forces of
automation and globalization mean we cannot have good-
paying union jobs here in America.
My Administration is making ``Buy American'' a policy,
not just a promise. We are closing loopholes and
strengthening standards to ensure that the future is
made in all of America--by all of America's workers--in
every region, of every background, in services,
manufacturing, and agriculture.
That is why one of my first acts as President was to
sign an Executive Order to tighten existing Buy
American policies, and to lay out additional
commitments to prevent big corporations and special
interests from using loopholes to redirect American
taxpayer dollars to foreign companies. And, I have
named our Nation's first-ever Made in America Director
at our Office of Management and Budget.
When we Buy American, we will buy from all of America.
We will include communities that have historically been
left out of Government procurement, Black, Brown, and
Native American small businesses and entrepreneurs in
every region of the country. We will use a federally
funded, national network called the Manufacturing
Extension Partnership to help government agencies
connect with new domestic suppliers across the country.
The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated our need for greater
manufacturing capacity in areas critical to public
health, information and communications technology, and
national defense.
To build our economy back better, we must have an
industrial strategy based on public investment in new
technologies, including the domestic production of
clean energy goods, critical medical supplies, and the
innovative industries of the future. We must prioritize
the creation of high skill, high value jobs that
empower workers and pay family-supporting wages. We
must reject short-termism, offshoring, and a race to
the bottom. That is why my Administration is committed
to using Made in America policies that give America's
workers and companies the tools they need to compete
and lead globally for decades to come.
We will send clear market signals so that entrepreneurs
make the investments our Nation needs. We will ensure
that Made in America preferences are applied
consistently and transparently. We will gather data to
reveal gaps in our industrial base, and work to close
those gaps and boost our economy's productive capacity.
And we will ensure that diversity, equity, inclusion,
and accessibility are at the center of all of these
efforts.
[[Page 40758]]
My Administration will maximize the Federal
Government's use of goods, products, and materials
produced in, and services offered in, the United
States. These purchases will maximize our efforts to
empower workers and strengthen unionization, tackle the
climate crisis, and build and rebuild critical supply
chains so that we will never again have to rely on
imports from unreliable trading partners to combat
threats to our public health.
We will also reduce the need for waivers from Made in
America rules by creating incentives for private
investment in domestic supply chains in critical
industries.
As we focus on ``Made in America,'' we are committed to
strengthening relationships with allies and trading
partners. Resilient supply chains must have built in
redundancies--a health crisis or natural disaster in
one location must never again threaten the global
economy. We must work with our trading partners to
promote equitable growth, protect workers' rights, and
advance environmental justice globally.
By using Made in America policies as one tool of many
to rebuild our industrial base and strengthen critical
supply chains, we will help put the American dream
within reach for our Nation's families today, and for
generations to come.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of
the United States of America, by virtue of the
authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws
of the United States, do hereby proclaim July 26
through July 30, 2021, as Made in America Week. I call
upon all Americans to observe this week and to
celebrate with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and
activities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
twenty-sixth day of July, in the year of our Lord two
thousand twenty-one, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and forty-
sixth.
