The gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Pascrell) mentioned current trade policies and what happened in Doha and the steel industry. When we see that this Congress voted 410 to 4, as he said, to tell them, to instruct President Bush's trade representative in Qatar not to mess with U.S. dumping laws, he immediately put it on the table for negotiations. It is not difficult to understand why LTV, where many people in my district work, and the rest of the American steel industry, is in trouble when we pass these kinds of trade policies, and the President has not moved fast enough on section 201 of the 1974 Trade Act." @ PoliticalQuotes.com

Mr. Speaker, I want to make one comment before yielding to the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Stupak). The gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Pascrell) mentioned current trade policies and what happened in Doha and the steel industry.

It is not difficult to understand why LTV, where many people in my district work, and the rest of the American steel industry, is in trouble when we pass these kinds of trade policies, and the President has not moved fast enough on section 201 of the 1974 Trade Act.
