mr. steele gone wrong, doctor. >> is he wrong all over the place. the first thing is he wrong about is the premise of his argument which is that black people and black civil rights leaders were outraged martin was killed by nonblack person and hypocrisy here. the truth is we are not outraged by trayvon was killed by nonblack person there was no justice. his shooter was allowed to go home. morgue. the whole case is a mess. lack of justice. we don't care what race the shooter is. i don't care what race the shooter is the second thing that is he wrong about is somehow this idea that we can't talk about trayvon martin injustice coming from the criminal justice system because of black-on-black violence. yes, black-on-black violence is a real issue. no black leader worth his or her assault that doesn't care about black on black violence and doesn't address it. >> bill: don't see the same amount of intensity of shootings in children, one in detroit one in chicago over the last couple of weeks and there hasn't been arrest made in either case. you don't see

that's a big deal to the steel industry. >> i understand. >> mr. secretary, we have heard all sorts of reasons for why there's been a long-term decline in manufacturing. we've heard because of currency manipulation, because other countries invest substantially more in that sector. the list goes on and on, but after reading the "new york times" article, how the u.s. lost out on iphone work, i am not sure these reasons accurately depict the role of overseas workers in the shift away from u.s. manufacturing. according to the article, one reason manufacturing plants locate in china is the ability to scale up and down so easily. in china, a manufacturer was able to hire 3,000 people overnight and, of course, it could fire them all three weeks later if necessary. it hired 8700 industrial engineers in 15 days. which could take about nine months in the u.s. also, it was given access to a warehouse filled with glass samples, free of charge and the engineers were made available at no cost and were staying at on-site dorms to be available 24 hours a day. mr.

mr. secretary, we also are very proud to have in my district a newcore steel plant. and they've gone through a lot of difficult times, you know, when the demand for steel fell below 50%. they still didn't lay off a single worker. it's a great story there. while the market has gotten better and you touched on this with mr. butterfield, you know, a surge of imports and rebar from other countries are kind of stopping this recovery in its tracks. and so, you know, my understanding is there are certain countries as we sort of touched on that do not have a natural economic advantage to produce steel and some even import steel scrap from the united states in order to produce their steel products. it does seem some of these governments in these countries may be subsidizing their steel industry. we just understand that you said, i believe, it's imperative that the department of commerce look into that and we certainly encourage you to do so. with that, i yield back the balance of my time. >> thank you, yes. >> thank the gentleman. the chair recognize dingel for five minutes.
