Fortenberry Calls for Any Infrastructure Bill To Include American Steel

Statement

Congressman Jeff Fortenberry (NE-01) made the following statement today after joining other Members of the Congressional Steel Caucus in calling for Buy America provisions in any upcoming infrastructure package.

"If we are going to ask American taxpayers to fund new American infrastructure, we need to use American companies, American labor, American steel," Fortenberry said.

"It is especially important that American-made steel is used throughout the steelmaking process, not outsourced for fabrication to nations with lower environmental and labor standards," Fortenberry added.

"Frankly, I'd like to see a "Made in America' sticker on all products used in American public works projects," Fortenberry said.
