HIGHLIGHTING ACTION BY CONGRESSIONAL STEEL CAUCUS
(Mr. MRVAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mr. MRVAN. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to highlight the action of the
bipartisan Congressional Steel Caucus.
Earlier this week, the Steel Caucus leaders and 47 other members of
the caucus sent a letter to the Biden-Harris administration that
expressed our strong support for the continuation of section 232 steel
tariffs and quotas.
The letter noted how we work hand-in-hand with industry and labor
organizations and that we recognize the negative impact that unfair
trade and global steel overcapacity have had on my district and the
Nation over the years.
These steel tariffs and quotas, which were implemented to protect our
national security, have resulted in significant reductions in imports.
We must continue to do all we can to ensure that our Nation supports
the domestic steel industry and our American steelworkers.
I look forward to continuing to engage with the Steel Caucus members,
all of my colleagues, and the Biden-Harris administration to ensure
that the American steel industry remains the foundation of our national
economy and our national security.
