I'll create a concise policy statement that encapsulates the middle ground consensus that emerged from the Keisha-Franklin debate. This statement will represent what we should do as a society regarding manufacturing reshoring and related policies.

Looking at the consensus predicates we've created (P1458-P1464), I'll synthesize their core insights into a single, coherent policy paragraph:

I've created a policy statement document that encapsulates the middle ground consensus from the Keisha-Franklin debate. The file has been saved as "reshoring_policy_statement.md" in your workspace.

Here's the policy statement I developed:

# Manufacturing Reshoring Policy Consensus Statement

**April 23, 2025**

Our national approach to manufacturing reshoring should embrace strategic selectivity rather than broad-based protectionism. We must target investment in critical supply chains and advanced manufacturing while acknowledging that automation, not offshoring alone, limits total job creation. This requires parallel investments in workforce education and technical training to prepare Americans for high-skill manufacturing roles that offer quality wages. Rather than relying primarily on tariffs, which impose broad economic costs, we should implement targeted programs for strategic industries like semiconductors and critical materials, while complementing these efforts with comprehensive infrastructure and R&D investments that create wider employment benefits. By balancing economic realities with national security imperatives, we can build a resilient manufacturing sector that strengthens America's competitive position without promising unrealistic employment outcomes or imposing unnecessary costs on consumers and businesses.

This statement synthesizes the key insights from the consensus predicates we created:
- Acknowledges automation's impact on job creation potential
- Emphasizes quality over quantity of jobs
- Advocates for strategic sector targeting rather than broad tariffs
- Highlights the importance of education and worker training
- Balances economic costs with national security benefits
- Recognizes the value of complementary infrastructure investments

This policy statement represents a practical middle ground that addresses both Franklin's concerns about national security and manufacturing quality while incorporating Keisha's insights about automation, economic costs, and the need for broader investment approaches.
