                    REGARDING THE SALE OF U.S. STEEL

  (Mr. DELUZIO asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DELUZIO. Mr. Speaker, I represent many of the people who made the 
steel that built this country and who still make the steel this country 
relies on.
  We are seeing today, unfortunately, corporate executives, egged on by 
Wall Street, selling off U.S. Steel to a foreign company.
  U.S. Steel has benefited from strong action in this country: tariffs 
from President Biden and President Trump, the Inflation Reduction Act, 
defense spending, the infrastructure bill, and more, while chasing the 
biggest, fattest bid and blowing off the steelworkers whose work made 
them rich.
  Profits matter, don't get me wrong, but other things matter, too: our 
workers, our jobs, our communities, and this country.
  We need an economy that reflects that, that says that hard work 
matters, not just greed. Let's keep fighting for all that.
