MORENO, BERNIE "have been great to work with, your staff have been great to work with. I'd like to enter into the record many letters of support for this bill, including groups as desperate as the UAW, the United Steelworkers, the Teamsters, but also the Alliance for Automotive Innovation. If you're not familiar with that group, that's a group that represents all auto manufacturers that do business here in America. I'd specifically like to call out Toyota and General Motors for their great work in this bill, and specifically also thank Chairman of Armed Services Roger Wicker and his staff for the hard work..."

"CCP recognizes this, and they actually ban Teslas in China from being near their sensitive military installations, knowing that these cars are taking videos and sending those videos back to the manufacturer. In the case of China, of course, those manufacturers, by Chinese law, must share that data and information with the central government. The other piece of it is an economic threat, and as I know my colleague from Michigan will attest, any car company in America, whether it's Ford or General..."

"That rule followed an extensive notice and comment process to identify and address genuine This language is being pushed by General Motors, and it would effectively force domestic and allied automakers to use GM's batteries, which GM itself has stated are approximately $5,000 more expensive per vehicle.

"That should be unacceptable. This amendment ensures that automakers are not forced to use General Motors' batteries, and that consumers are not forced to pay an additional $5,000 per vehicle, while still targeting the wireless external battery communications that may well present a legitimate national security risk. I would encourage my colleagues to support this amendment and ensure that we're targeting real national security risks without significantly driving up the cost for"

"operated and potentially under the control of the Chinese Communist Party. That is an unacceptable threat to the safety of Americans and so I appreciate Senator Moreno and Senator Slotkin leading on this bill. I hope and want this bill to be signed into law. There is however one very problem with this bill. There is a provision in the bill that specifies that any auto company that has over 15% ownership by any Chinese entity is barred from selling automobiles in the United States. That..."

"Mercedes-Benz. Now, I will tell you that my son's working overtime to make sure that they are the best-selling brand in America, but right now it's BMW. BMW does not have any Chinese ownership at all. Zero. Number two is Lexus. I think it would be incorrect to leave the record not reflecting that Lexus is doing a great job in selling luxury vehicles. Third place is Mercedes, and fourth place is Cadillac. I will also point out that General Motors currently makes the Buick Envision in China. They..."
