   (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) 

   Mr. TRAFICANT . Mr. Speaker, the Great Lakes are now open. 
The first foreign ship to dock in Cleveland, Ohio, carried 
10,000 tons of steel from Russia. While mills are closing 
in Cleveland, Youngstown, and Pittsburgh, steel mills are 
closing all over America. Ten thousand tons of illegally 
dumped steel just came in to America. Unbelievable. 

   Think about it. It is getting so bad the Army almost 
bought, without  Congress' interference, black berets for 
the Army from China. Beam me up. If our trade program is 
so good, why does Europe not do it? Why does Japan not do 
it? Why does China not do it? 

   I think it is time to put things in order in America, 
my colleagues. Enough is enough. I yield back the sell-out 
of America, wholesale, to Communist dictators, and the 
loss of jobs to these socialist, communist countries.
