On the recordJune 4, 1999
If I could just say one thing, to go back to put the two questions together, there are some schools, some high schools, which have hotlines which young people can call if other students bring guns to school, and they know two things if they call. They know, number one, that the children will not be outed, their identities won't be disclosed if they call, and, number two, that some authority will check on the presence of the gun in the school that day. So I think that's really important. If it's a problem in schools throughout the country, it's a specific thing that some schools have used with great success. Ms. Sawyer. Mr. President, if I could ask you, members of gun organizations say that the ability is there to do something about kids-- 6,000 kids in the last 2 years in schools found to have guns, but, in fact, only 13 were prosecuted for it. Do you think there should be more prosecutions, and do you agree?
