Earlier this week, a Buy America amendment was added to a bill in the House thanks to the efforts of Representatives Betty Sutton (D-OH) and Tim Murphy (R-PA).  According to a press release from Rep. Sutton's office: 

Representative Sutton successfully offered a Buy American amendment that requires that projects for the construction, alteration, maintenance or repair of a public water system funded by a State Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund use steel, iron, and manufactured goods that are produced in the United States. Sutton's amendment received broad bipartisan support and was included in the bill.

"The Buy American requirement is critically important for our economy. As we invest in our nation's infrastructure, American taxpayers want their taxpayer dollars to create jobs here at home. Getting Americans back to work is the highest priority and this amendment will help us do that." said Representative Sutton.
