Rep. Phil English, R-Pa., said Thursday at a Capitol Hill news conference that he found out about it when he was given a photo apparently taken in San Luis that shows black piping used as a fence post with "China" written on it in white letters.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/1018border-fence1018-ON.html">
English said one of his staff members confirmed the authenticity of the photo with Department of Homeland Security officials.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/1018border-fence1018-ON.html">
"At a time when pipe and tube plants in my district are being shuttered, it is outrageous that the tax dollars of those people are going to put Chinese pipe into an American fence that I think a big part of the public supports," said English, who represents northwestern Pennsylvania.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/1018border-fence1018-ON.html">
Rep. Peter Visclosky, a Democrat from Indiana who is chairman of the steel caucus, said he is concerned about the quality of the steel being used. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/CD612A7A-DAF5-4A88-8070-57D53A1B7F8A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
