Proclamation 10601 of July 21, 2023
Made in America Week, 2023
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
American workers are the best in the world; and today,
with a historic Investing in America agenda, we are
proving that the phrase ``Made in America'' is not just
a slogan--it is a reality. During Made in America Week,
we celebrate the workers, unions, and innovators who
power our Nation's prosperity and make it possible for
America to once again lead the world in manufacturing.
American manufacturing has long been the backbone of
our economy. But for decades, companies moved jobs and
production overseas, hollowing out the middle class,
rewarding wealth instead of work, leaving our supply
chains vulnerable, and robbing countless communities of
a sense of pride and self-worth. I ran for President to
change that--and thanks to the historic legislation
that we have passed in these last 2 years, it is
happening. Those laws form the foundation of our
Investing in America agenda, which has already
attracted hundreds of billions of dollars in private
investment and created nearly 800,000 new manufacturing
jobs in everything from semiconductors and electric car
batteries to clean energy technology and more.
Our Bipartisan Infrastructure Law makes a once-in-a-
generation investment in rebuilding America's roads,
bridges, railways, ports, airports, and water systems,
using American-made iron, steel, manufactured products,
and construction materials. And because this bill
included provisions like $7.5 billion to build a
national network of 500,000 electric vehicle charging
stations with American-made equipment, we have seen a
boom in manufacturing and private investment here at
home. Our historic CHIPS and Science Act brings
semiconductor manufacturing home, protecting national
security and boosting our supply of those tiny computer
chips that power everything from cell phones and
computers to washing machines. Our Inflation Reduction
Act, meanwhile, makes our biggest investment in
fighting the climate crisis in history, with tax
credits to boost demand for American-made clean energy
technology. We are expanding Registered Apprenticeship
and pre-apprenticeship programs, training the next
generation of American workers to lead the world in
these new industries throughout the 21st century. Last
month, we launched <a href="http://www.Invest.gov">www.Invest.gov</a>, an interactive
website showing the historic public and private
investments that these laws are bringing to States and
territories across the country so Americans everywhere
can see ``Made in America'' progress in their own
communities and feel new hope and pride reborn.
At the same time, we are using the purchasing power of
the Federal Government--the largest buyer of consumer
goods in the world--to directly boost demand for
American-made products. During my first week as
President, I signed an Executive Order directing
agencies to tighten Buy America and Buy American
policies, close loopholes, increase coordination, and
ensure transparency. We also enacted the biggest change
to the Buy American Act in nearly 70 years, now
requiring a record 60 percent of the value of products'
components to be American-made, which will reach 75
percent by 2029. We are also using a federally funded
national network--the Manufacturing Extension
Partnership--to increase the capabilities of small- and
[[Page 48030]]
medium-sized domestic manufacturers so that they win
more Federal contracts. And to help all American
businesses find these opportunities, we launched
<a href="http://www.MadeinAmerica.gov">www.MadeinAmerica.gov</a>.
These historic actions are making sure American workers
make American goods on American soil--a key part of my
Administration's mission to rebuild our economy from
the middle out and bottom up, not the top down. America
has always been a can-do country full of possibilities,
and together we will keep working to make our economy
the most competitive and innovative in the world, while
leaving no one behind. This week, we can all feel new
pride in those three powerful words--Made in America.
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 23
through July 29, 2023, as Made in America Week. I call
upon all Americans to observe this week by celebrating
Made in America and supporting American workers and
domestic businesses that are the backbone of building a
future here in America.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
twenty-first day of July, in the year of our Lord two
thousand twenty-three, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and forty-
eighth.
