On the recordMarch 27, 2003
I rise today as the author of the Pence amendment, the Truth in Domain Names Act, as a legislator, as a member of the Committee on the Judiciary, its Subcommittee on Courts, the Internet, and Intellectual Property; but also, most importantly, I rise today as a dad who loves to sit my 9-year-old daughter or my 11-year-old son on my knee and help them with their homework on the Internet. It was the experience of doing that that inspired me in the last Congress to author the Truth in Domain Names Act, and it has inspired me to bring this amendment to the underlying bill, the Child Abduction Prevention Act, today. Thanks to the extraordinary leadership of the gentleman from Wisconsin, we are considering a bill today that will make measurable progress in protecting our children from child predators. I would offer humbly today that the Pence amendment is just such a bill.
