Gallagher, Krishnamoorthi Statement on Successful, Unanimous Markup of Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Chairman Mike Gallagher (R-WI) and Ranking Member Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) released the statement below following the successful 50-0 markup of the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act by the House Committee on Energy & Commerce.

“As long as TikTok is owned by Chinese Communist Party-controlled ByteDance, TikTok poses a grave threat to US national security. We are heartened that our colleagues on the House Energy and Commerce Committee took bipartisan action today to address this threat and passed our bill through their committee in what we hope will be a quick move to the House floor,” said the lawmakers. “We appreciate the leadership of Chair McMorris Rodgers and Ranking Member Pallone and urge the rest of our colleagues in the House and the Senate to take up this bipartisan call to protect our national security and pass this bill into law.”
