On the recordOctober 15, 1998
While we are waiting, I would just like the Members of Congress to know that later today House Resolution 598 will be brought to the floor relative to the problem of illegal dumping of foreign steel in our markets that has destroyed American families, our economy, destabilized much of our industry. And this is a very important vote in a very important debate today because, regardless of your personal persuasion on trade policy, this is not a debate about free trade today. This is not a debate about fair trade today, to a degree. It is a debate about illegal trade and enforcement of our trade laws. We can pass laws, but they are not ours to enforce. We will ensure today by the vote of the Congress that this illegal dumping be addressed and challenged. I am hoping that all Members will participate and support that resolution, H. Res. 598.
