On the recordJune 11, 1998
As a cosponsor of H.R. 3185, the Riley- Bachus Abolishing Child Pornography Act, I rise in support of this amendment, which contains elements of this bill. Mr. Chairman, this is an important step for Congress to take. Both bodies and the President must send an unambiguous message of absolute zero tolerance for sexual exploitation of children. This is not a first amendment issue; this is about the safety of our children. Pedophiles have no right to sex with minors or photographic depictions of such acts. Such behavior is a horrible crime and an irreparable crime against children. It robs them of their innocence and it shatters their trust in our ability to protect them. I urge support for this amendment.
