National security has been compromised by outsourcing of the manufacturing of the United States passport book cover and RFID electronic chip to a foreign company in Europe. The book cover and chip are produced in Europe and then shipped to Thailand to have the chip’s antenna added before being shipped to the U.S. Making matters even worse, the company acknowledged last year that the Chinese government had stolen the patent for the chip. Congress must put a stop to this dangerous practice by passing HR 5752, which will require that the U.S. passport be completely manufactured in the U.S.
