CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

Expressing the sense of Congress relating to the increased importance of the United States steel industry since the attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001.

Whereas on September 11, 2001, acts of treacherous violence were committed against the United States and its citizens;

Whereas the United States steel industry has been weakened by the availability of illegal increased quantities of steel being imported into the United States by foreign businesses; and

Whereas in this time of crisis it is important that the United States does not rely on steel imported from foreign countries: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That, in light of the attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001, it is the sense of Congress that--

(1) the United States steel industry is vital to the national security interests of the United States; and

(2) the United States should place a priority on using steel produced in the United States in order to help rebuild our Nation and support any future military efforts in response to such attacks.
