What is unclear#

Case for#
- A possible argument for the bill is that pilot projects could test ways to provide advanced manufacturing education and training before deciding whether to use those approaches more broadly.

- The bill may require federal resources, but no publicly available information gives a cost estimate or identifies funding.
- It is unclear how the projects would fit with existing programs or avoid duplicating them.
