All communications between senate and domain names ending in @amd.com; @nvidia.com; @intel.com; @ibm.com. regarding the U.S. Innovation and Competition Act or CHIPs (please note the email may not explicitly mention the act/CHIPS for America but could just be discussing subsidies or the application of the aforementioned companies under the ambit of these bills/act.
