Bill would extend Berry Amendment to Homeland Security
U.S. Rep. Robin Hayes of North Carolina is expected to introduce legislation tomorrow that would expand coverage of the Berry Amendment to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
The Berry Amendment, which applies to the Defense Department and the Coast Guard, requires that all textiles, tents, tarpaulins, apparel, hand and measuring tools, stainless steel flatware and certain specialty metals procured by those departments be produced in the United States.
