11 GENERAL PROVISION, THIS TITLE

12 EMERGENCY STEEL LOAN GUARANTEE PROGRAM.

13 (a) SHORT TITLE.—This section may be cited as the

14 ‘‘Emergency Steel Loan Guarantee Act of 1999’’.

15 (b) CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.—Congress finds

16 that—

17 (1) the United States steel industry has been

18 severely harmed by a record surge of more than

19 40,000,000 tons of steel imports into the United

20 States in 1998, caused by the world financial crisis;

21 (2) this surge in imports resulted in the loss of

22 more than 10,000 steel worker jobs in 1998, and

23 was the imminent cause of 3 bankruptcies by me24 dium-sized steel companies, Acme Steel, Laclede

25 Steel, and Geneva Steel;
17

S 544 PCS

1 (3) the crisis also forced almost all United

2 States steel companies into reduced volume, lower

3 prices, financial losses, and an inability to obtain

4 credit for continued operations and reinvestment in

5 facilities;

6 (4) these steel bankruptcies, job losses, and fi7 nancial losses are also having serious negative ef8 fects on the tax base of cities, counties, and States,

9 and on the essential health, education, and munici10 pal services that these government entities provide to

11 their citizens; and

12 (5) a strong steel industry is necessary to the

13 adequate defense preparedness of the United States

14 in order to have sufficient steel available to build the

15 ships, tanks, planes, and armaments necessary for

16 the national defense.

17 (c) DEFINITIONS.—For purposes of this section—

18 (1) the term ‘‘Board’’ means the Loan Guaran19 tee Board established under subsection (e);

24 any company that—
18

S 544 PCS

1 (A) is incorporated under the laws of any

2 State;

3 (B) is engaged in the production and man4 ufacture of a product defined by the American

5 Iron and Steel Institute as a basic steel mill

6 product, including ingots, slab and billets,

7 plates, flat-rolled steel, sections and structural

8 products, bars, rail type products, pipe and

9 tube, and wire rod; and

10 (C) has experienced layoffs, production

11 losses, or financial losses since the beginning of

12 the steel import crisis, after January 1, 1998.

13 (d) ESTABLISHMENT OF EMERGENCY STEEL GUAR14 ANTEED LOAN PROGRAM.—There is established the
