On the recordOctober 15, 1998
Let us be clear, the government of South Korea provided Hanbo Steel with a $6 billion subsidy to continue producing steel. Hanbo is producing the same steel that sits in our ports and results in American steel workers losing their jobs. Its time we stand up for steel. If the South Koreans protect their workers at our expense, why do we stand back and allow them to continue this illegal act. It is an abomination. This has nothing to do with free trade and whether you support increased trade. This issue is about how we react when other nations take advantage of our strong economy and our market. Its time to take a stand. I urge all members to support this resolution.
