Fight Over ‘Buy America’ Provision Erupts in Congress

Dec. 2, 2016 | JOBS | At issue is language included in the Senate-passed version of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) that would require American iron and steel products to be used in projects assisted by the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund. Sources familiar with the negotiations say Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) is actively pushing to strip the provision from the bill. Supporters of the provision say Ryan’s push is at odds with President-elect Donald Trump’s promise to support American manufacturers and create jobs for the middle class. thehill.com
