On June 8^th, the U.S. Senate passed S.1260, the United States Innovation and Competition Act (USICA). The legislation strengthens manufacturing and basic research in key industry sectors and is intended to provide a policy framework for competing with China. The legislation combines several bills from different Senate committee jurisdictions, including the Endless Frontier Act (Commerce Committee), Strategic Competition Act (Foreign Relations Committee), and Trade Act of 2021 (Finance Committee). In fact, the Endless Frontier Act is itself a collection of several Senate bills. All told, roughly three dozen legislation proposals from eight different Senate committees have been melded together into USICA.

The provisions of USICA involve the jurisdiction of at least ten different committees in the U.S. House, which could make its procedural path complex. The table below summarizes the provisions of USICA as organized by section, the committee jurisdictions involved, and the individual Senate bills from which the language is drawn. If there is a corresponding House bill it is also noted.
