The Committee on Small Business Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Tax, and Capital Access will hold a hearing entitled “Supply Chain Resiliency.” The hearing is scheduled to begin at 10:00 AM (EST) on Thursday, July 2, 2020 and will take place in room 2118 of the Rayburn House Office Building. Members who wish to participate remotely may do so via Cisco Webex, information to be provided separately. During the economic disaster caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, many small firms were left vulnerable to severe global supply chain disruptions. As the U.S. economy recovers, it is important we take steps to ensure greater supply chain resiliency in the face of future disasters. Members will hear from small business owners and experts about steps the federal government can take to ensure more resiliency and focus on ways we can correct the vulnerabilities of small firms and utilize their strengths moving forward.
