On behalf of your Council on Supply Chain Resilience, we are pleased to transmit this Review of
supply chains for industries critical to national and economic security.
From the food we eat, to the medicines needed to treat patients, to computer chips that underpin
nearly every piece of technology we rely on, supply chains produce critical goods and move them to
where they are needed. As we saw during the pandemic, when supply chains break down, inflation
rises—raising operating costs for businesses and prices for American families. Resilient supply
chains are also crucial to our national security, minimizing opportunities for adversaries to exploit
dependencies and vulnerabilities due to supply chain chokepoints.
In the early months of your Administration during the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic, supply
chains were upended, leading to shortages and high inflation. Supply chains had become a common
topic from boardrooms to living rooms. At your direction, it also became a key focus of the federal
government led by the Council on Supply Chain Resilience that you established. In partnership with
industry, state and local governments, labor, and allies and partners, we moved swiftly to address
immediate bottlenecks, build the government’s capacity for risk identification and response, and
make foundational investments in industries and inputs that underpin the supply side of our
economy.
As this Review outlines, our supply chains today are stronger than when you came into office. Prices
have come down, shelves are stocked, and our nation is more prepared for future disruptions. We
have also reduced our dependencies on critical goods from countries that do not share our values.
There is still more work to be done to strengthen our critical supply chains, particularly for emerging
technologies and industries of the future. Threats to our supply chains abound—from an
accelerating climate crisis, to cybersecurity vulnerabilities, to regional and geostrategic shifts across
the globe. We have put in place a strong foundation of capabilities to prepare for and mitigate these
risks, and the Council on Supply Chain Resilience is an innovative body to carry this work forward.
Thank you for your leadership in ensuring America’s supply chains are strong and resilient.
