A highly touted bill to boost the United States' ability to compete with Chinese technology could take weeks to get through Congress, as U.S.

House of Representatives lawmakers planned to write their own legislation, which must then be combined with what was approved by the Senate this month.

House Democratic Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said House committees were working on their legislation, which he hoped would pass with support from Republicans as well as Democrats."I think the House committee - or committees - have views that they want to express," Hoyer told reporters."... I don't think there's anything nefarious about it. I hope that we will move forward with a bill.

"Hopefully we can work that out so that the best of both bills will be available to us, so that we can ensure our competitive status vis-a-vis China in particular and also dealing with some of the nefarious things that China does to pursue unfair trade tactics with our country, including intellectual property theft," Hoyer said.

"Instead of trying to copy the efforts of our emerging competitors, we should be doubling down on the proven innovation engines we have at the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy," she said.
