On Drugs: FEND Off Fentanyl Act: stop flow from China & Mexico

Last year, we included the FEND Off Fentanyl Act in the annual defense authorization bill. But this hasn't become law yet, because of politicians in the House playing politics. The FEND Off Fentanyl Act was not the only Committee priority that the House blocked.

On Technology: Export controls: deny China access to U.S. technology

Addressing these threats from the Chinese government, and improving our domestic capability to compete with China, have been a top priority of this Committee. Five years ago, we updated the laws that govern our export control and inbound investment screening programs. Export controls can be used to deny China and others access to U.S. technology that they could use to undermine our national security. We have made export controls a central feature of our national security and foreign policy.
