Senate Passes Bill To Boost U.S. Technology

Supporters call the bill the biggest investment in scientific research the U.S. has seen in decades.

The Senate overwhelmingly passed a bill Tuesday that would invest more than $200 billion in technology manufacturing over the next five years.  The 68-32 vote brought both parties together -- in an effort to confront China's growing economic influence.  The bill would provide about $50 billion to help semiconductor companies make computer chips.
