<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">A quick question for everyone regarding the CHIPS Act that has yet to pass in both the House and Senate. I believe a lot of us feel this will directly impact our facilities due to workforce development
needed to support this initiative and there is also real fear of talent poaching.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Last week at the UGIM conference we started to have initial discussions about the CHIPS ACT, but no formal discussions. The Labnetwork community and the NNCI network are positioned to be instrumental
with this effort (I think), but wanted to ask the following for I'm kind of wondering what is going on. Another thought is that it's just too early at this time since CHIPS has not been approved by Congress yet.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
