The source said the meeting was originally planned for Tuesday but was subsequently postponed, due to scheduling conflicts. It has yet to be rescheduled.
Representative Mike Gallagher, an influential Republican lawmaker whose select committee has pressed the Biden administration to take a tougher stance on sending U.S. technology to China, wants to meet with the Semiconductor Industry Association, the source said.

Also among the planned discussion topics is U.S. investment in Chinese chip firms, according to the source. Intel, Qualcomm (QCOM.O) and other firms have venture capital arms that have invested in Chinese technology companies.
Gallagher also will express his concerns that a massive Chinese effort to build up capacity to build less advanced chips used in automobiles, washing machines and other everyday products could one day result in China dumping those chips on the U.S. market and drive U.S. makers of such chips out of business, the source said.
A representative for the Semiconductor Industry Association declined to comment.
