                          MORE ON H. RES. 598

  (Mr. GEKAS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GEKAS. Mr. Speaker, I apropos to the remarks by the gentleman 
from Ohio, I remember the first time that I was in the Oval Office was 
during the Reagan administration, at which time the President then was 
adamant about the voluntary restraints that foreign steel producers 
would be subjected to were we to continue our program and which we 
assented was necessary to protect our steel making jobs.
  Ever since then we have been on a highly visible plain of watching 
carefully the steel dumping syndrome across the world. I join with the 
gentleman from Ohio to keep on alert as Members of Congress and as 
citizens on this clandestine way of ruining our ability to keep our 
steel industry intact.
  When that resolution comes up, I hope that the common sense of our 
Chamber will take hold.
