On the recordApril 20, 1994
there is an old adage that says ``if it ain't broke, don't fix it.'' For over 10 years we have had a strong law against child pornography that has worked, until the Clinton Justice Department sought recently to weaken it. This amendment that the gentleman from New Jersey [Mr. Smith] and I bring today, expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that the Department of Justice repudiate its reinterpretation of Federal child pornography laws, defend the conviction won in lower courts in the Knox case, and vigorously prosecute the sexual exploitation of children. I strongly urge an aye vote on this amendment.
