On the recordMarch 11, 1999
Even though Article 21 of GATT clearly states any Nation can take action when their military security is threatened, the White House has vowed to veto any bill on steel imports. Beam me up. We cannot defend America with plastic and Styrofoam. It seems the White House is more concerned with violating the World Trade Organization than they are in violating America's steel workers. Let me remind Members of Congress we pledged an oath to the Constitution of the United States of America, not the World Trade Organization. I yield back all the bankruptcy, despair, downsizing, layoffs and foreclosure of America's steel workers.
