House of Representatives launches Congressional Supply Chain Caucus

The House of Representatives launched a Congressional Supply Chain Caucus this week citing a need to focus on ongoing supply chain challenges related to manufacturing, trade, delivery, resiliency and other factors amid the current COVID-19 outbreak and moving forward, according to a letter sent to the Consumer Brands Association and shared with Supply Chain Dive on Thursday. The caucus will be co-chaired by Reps. Colin Allred, D-Texas; Angie Craig, D-Minn. Rodney Davis, R-Ill., and David Rouzer, R-N.C. Details of the caucus' initial meeting dates and agenda have not yet been released. There are a number of supply chain-related caucuses in Congress, including the Air Cargo Caucus, the Digital Trade Caucus, the House Manufacturing Caucus and the U.S. - China Working Group. The Congressional Supply Chain Caucus would seek to bring together relevant issues from the separate groups.
