5 of persons in the United States;
6 (2) The taxes paid to the State and its political
7 subdivisions by employers and employees engaged in the

12 its people, as well as the economy and general welfare of the
13 United States, are inseparably related to the preservation
14 and development of industry in this State, as well as all the
15 other states of this nation.
16 The General Assembly therefore declares it to be the
17 policy of the State of Illinois to that all public officers
18 and agencies should aid and promote the economy of the State
19 and the United States by specifying materials, commodities
20 and goods manufactured or steel products produced in the
21 United States, including steel products, in all State
22 purchases and contracts for construction, reconstruction,
