The bipartisan Seeding Enterprises in the Microelectronics Industry (SEMI) Act, which Congressman Krishnamoorthiintroduced with Rep. Chris Stewart (R-UT),would provide $15 million to the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) to be distributed in seed funds, for the development and advancement of microelectronicsand computing technologies.The Geospatial Partnership for Security (GPS) Act would increases funding for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) to improve its access tocommercial geospatial intelligence data and services. I am proud to introduce these two bills to help strengthen our intelligence community and to ensure our nation is equipped with the state-of-the-art technologies upon which our security depends, said Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi. At a time when our adversaries are using every tool at their disposal to take advantage of any gaps in our intelligence systems, it is critical we remain vigilant in developing and adopting the latest technologies. By providing funding for the implementation and use of microelectronics and commercial geospatial intelligence data, my bills would help maintain the preeminence of our intelligence community. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
