WASHINGTON— Today, Republican Study Committee Member Rep. Lisa McClain, RSC Chairman Jim Banks, RSC National Security and Foreign Affairs Task Force Chairman Joe Wilson, and House Armed Services Committee Ranking Member Mike Rogers, introduced legislation that would require sanctions on all past and future members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)'s National Congress and their immediate family members.

WASHINGTON— Today, Republican Study Committee Member Rep. Yvette Herrell introduced legislation to require the Food and Drug Administration to produce a report and recommendations on regulatory barriers to domestic manufacturing of medical products that are critical to public health during public health emergencies.

In the earliest days of the pandemic, China threatened to halt lifesaving supplies of medicine to the United States. This highlighted a glaring need to reshore our supply chains and make sure Americans would have access to lifesaving medicine and medical supplies during public health crises.

The Protecting American Lives Act (PAL) Act of 2022 would help begin that effort of reshoring our medical supply chains.

WASHINGTON - Yesterday, the Republican Study Steering Committee voted to adopt an official position opposing the Democrats' fake infrastructure plan:

"The Republican Study Committee is opposed to all the radical attempts by Congressional Democrats and the Biden Administration to fundamentally alter the country. This includes a blank check debt limit increase, a CR that helps facilitate the Biden open borders agenda, and certainly their socialist wish list reconciliation bill. It has become clearer by the day that the infrastructure bill, that could potentially be voted on next week, is a lynchpin for this agenda. The Republican Study Committee reaffirms our opposition to this bill and urges our colleagues to actively oppose it."

WASHINGTON, DC—Today, the Republican Study Committee released the Countering Communist China Act, the most serious and comprehensive effort to combat the China threat introduced this Congress.
