         SUPPORT STEEL RESOLUTION AND STAND UP FOR LEGAL TRADE

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, another chapter on American steel. We 
have already read Chapter 11, Chapter 13, and we are about to read a 
stone cold Chapter 7 due to illegal trade, dumping steel in America 
below cost, destroying families, destroying companies, destroying jobs, 
destroying pensions, and nobody is doing one thing about it.
  We pass laws here, and the law is not being enforced. There is such a 
glut of steel there is a fire sale in America. America is burning. And 
while America burns, the administration is fiddling doing nothing.
  Today you will have an opportunity to vote on a resolution. I predict 
that there will be an attempt to bring a softer resolution than mine. 
Today is the time to stand up for legal trade.
