“I was there for several hours, as you know. And I think they really, really take this work seriously.”
President Joe Biden Monday referenced his recent trip to Alabama while taking part in a teleconference pushing for legislation to benefit the U.S. semiconductor industry.
“And, by the way, I was really impressed with your workers down in Alabama when they went through the plant,” Biden said to Taiclet. Taiclet, in his remarks, pointed out that each Javelin missile, manufactured in Troy, requires more than 250 microprocessors.“...whether it’s the Javelins we saw down in Alabama or the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter that Lockheed Martin puts out to our nuclear weapons forces; and, of course, as we look ahead to the future on emerging technologies, just as Jim said — quantum, AI, hypersonics, 5G, 6G, Next G — all of that is heavily dependent on ensuring our access to microelectronics,” Hicks said.
