        AMERICAN STEEL AND ALUMINUM INDUSTRIES SERVE OUR NATION

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the Section 232 steel 
and aluminum agreement that President Biden's administration has 
reached with the European Union.
  This agreement is critical as a safeguard for national security, to 
restore and improve our transatlantic alliances, and bolster the 
American steel and aluminum industries that serve as the backbone of 
this country.
  Establishing a level playing field through robust enforcement 
mechanisms will ensure that American companies are able to compete in 
the marketplace, not forced to contend with the cheaper and shoddier 
metals dumped around the globe by China and others.
  President Biden is delivering for domestic manufacturers and our 
union brothers and sisters who build up America. Together, we will 
continue our work to create the good-paying middle class jobs our 
families deserve. Let us rebuild our communities with the innovation 
and ingenuity that only American industries can produce.
