On the recordMay 22, 2002
I want to make sure those interests that are protecting sugar from the European Union, Germany, France, and Belgium, which include Louisiana, Hawaii, Texas, California, Idaho, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, Nebraska, and Montana--do you realize that your commodities are threatened if you cannot protect them with your existing orders? Let's talk about some of the steel products that would be threatened by Brazil. Carbon steel butt welded pipe fittings, iron construction castings, brass sheet and strip--and I could go through a whole list of steel products. Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, Illinois, Wisconsin: Senators, are you listening? How about fresh Atlantic salmon from the States of Maine and Alaska? Senators from Maine, Senator Collins, and Senator Snowe: Are you listening? Your orders protecting the dumping of products out of Chile are not going to protect your salmon. Senator Murkowski: Are you listening? You are not going to be protected from Chile's dumping of Salmon unless you protect those orders that are outstanding. How about Oregon's mushrooms being protected from Chile? If they do not keep those orders and they allow those orders to be cast aside and the tariff to be reduced, it is not going to protect them. How about Alabama, Georgia, Texas, and Kansas on the cement industry being protected from Mexico?
