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

   Mr. TRAFICANT . Madam Speaker, CSC Steel Company in my 
district has filed for bankruptcy protection, laying off 
500 people. The reason is clear: foreign steel is being 
illegally dumped into America at record levels. Now if that 
is not enough to polish your stainless, the Clinton 
administration last month allowed an $18 million loan 
guarantee to a Chinese steel company. Beam me up. 

   Yes to Chinese steel; no to American steel. Is it any 
wonder the American steel industry is going belly up? I 
urge Congress to cosponsor House Resolution 16, that caused 
a 50 percent reduction of imports in 1998. 

   I yield back the fact that Congress cannot defend America 
with Styrofoam.
