                       MAKING PRODUCTS IN AMERICA

  (Mr. KAGEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KAGEN. Mr. Speaker, I have the high honor and responsibility of 
representing the Swanningson family from Kaukauna, Wisconsin. Here you 
see Tony and his wife, Sherry; his son, Corey; and daughter, Kayla.
  Tony wrote me this note recently when his company, Appleton Coated 
Paper, was having problems selling paper because of illegal paper being 
dumped into our country by China.
  ``Congressman Kagen, I've been a paper maker for 18 years, and I am 
grateful for the opportunity to provide for my family that the industry 
has given me. In 2009 I lost my job, through no fault of my own and 
through no fault of my company, Appleton Coated. My job was stolen 
because somebody broke the law, and that's not right. The dumping of 
foreign paper into the United States from companies that are subsidized 
by their own governments creates a marketplace that seriously threatens 
my family and countless other families throughout the United States.''
  We're going to make it in America when we begin making things here in 
America as well. We need to balance our trade deals and push back 
against illegal paper being dumped into our domestic market by China.
