I thank the gentlewoman. I congratulate her particularly on serving within the Steel Caucus, already as a member of the executive committee and one of the effective leadership, helping us shape the strategy to bring this issue to the point where it has arrived today, where there is an opportunity for the President, through his action, to put this steel industry on a much more level playing field. It is worth noting, since he initiated the 201, already it has had a substantial effect on imports and already it is having some effect on steel prices, forcing foreign competitors to rethink their strategies and rethink their dumping. I also want to congratulate the steelworkers unions, the United Steelworkers Union, the Independent Steelworkers Union, and the industry which is so diverse yet has come together behind the notion that this 201, coupled with a 40 percent tariff through the President's initiative, is ultimately going to lead to a strong, competitive, world-class American steel industry for the future.
