                SUPPORT TRAFICANT REAL STEEL RESOLUTION

  (Mr. VISCLOSKY asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VISCLOSKY. Mr. Speaker, we have a crisis in steel that my 
colleague from Ohio (Mr. Traficant) just alluded to. I want to thank 
the leadership of this House for promising the gentleman from Ohio that 
we would have a vote on his resolution today, a real steel resolution 
with real language, real teeth, and I ask every one of my colleagues to 
support this bipartisan resolution introduced by the gentleman from 
Ohio, House Resolution 598. It is the resolution I am personally going 
to support.
  We need this, because H. Res. 598 calls for a 10-day review period 
for all steel imports and a 1-year ban on steel imports from countries 
found to be violating our law, not 3 months of consultation.
  We need this, because the American Institute for International Steel 
has written to every one of its members and said that because of cases 
filed on September 30, the earliest date for withholding of 
liquidations would be December 9.
  Translation: Dump your steel before December 9 or it will be too 
late. Vote for Traficant.
