Legislation
"On Tuesday, I introduced the Make American Flags in America Act, which would ensure that any American flag displayed on federal property or purchased by our federal agencies is entirely manufactured in the United States from American-produced materials.
I am happy this bipartisan legislation has the support of the National Council of Textile Organizations, Flag Manufacturers Association of America, National Independent Flag Dealers Association, and the New York State Association of Counties.
Folks, this is a no brainer. American flags should be made in America. Our flag is a symbol of democracy, power, and glory. The best way to honor these principles is to make sure our economy and American manufacturers benefit from it."
This legislation will promote U.S. manufacturing by reinforcing demand for domestic materials and labor in the production of American flags, further strengthening our economy and the industries that employ American workers.
