On the recordMarch 4, 1999
Take the steel crisis, please. America is being violated every day, every hour, every minute by illegal trade, and the White House has done nothing. To make matters even worse, Congress has done nothing. This is wrong, this is stupid, this is unAmerican. Illegal trade must be stopped. Congress must grow a backbone.
