On the recordDecember 20, 2005
39 percent of this benefit went to 1 company, 39 percent; and $2 billion of the $3 billion that is going to go out of this is going to go to a small group of companies that deal in lumber. Those dollars belong to the American taxpayer. They should be in the Federal Government's Treasury. They should be used for deficit reduction. They should be used for initiatives here at the Federal level that are important. The WTO ruled against us, and if the Senator doesn't like the WTO and doesn't want to be part of the World Trade Organization--we are. It is called a treaty. We have to live by treaties. It is called the rule of law.
