Training these people to work together, training them in best practices ultimately saves us money.

I would urge Congress to continue the momentum.

Thank you very much for your work you have done with kids for so many years.

How have the cuts affected your ability to train child protection professionals?

I am proud that the National Child Protection Training Center is in Winona, Minnesota, a beautiful town, not too far from Iowa.

I want to also thank our staff who have worked on this, Craig Kalkut and Sammy Clark, as well as Maria Laverdiere.

Thank you very much, Senator Grassley.

I have just seen it firsthand in Minnesota and am so proud of the work that Mr. Vieth does.

Kids that grow up in violent homes are--something multiple times, I think I have heard the number 76 times more likely to get involved in violence themselves.

We need to ensure that our coastal communities are protected from the impacts of debris.

Flexibility on the FCC's part, the RUS's part, potentially flexibility on Congress's part.

I did not want to have RUS loans mean that consumers are paying for unjustifiable services for a long time.

I had a question about the first phase of the Connect America Fund. It's supposed to provide $300 million in support for 2012 broadband investments.

You indicated that the FCC had been working closely with RUS to ensure USF reforms do not undermine the RUS's asset portfolio.

I wanted to applaud you for your recent action on wire line cramming.

I also know the FBI works closely with State and local authorities to keep our children safe.

I have been frustrated with. We have been trying to get a bill done.

It is something that we need to address.

There seems to be some widespread support for putting some kind of a rule in place to make clear that at least the data that people intend to have be private is private.

Today, I introduced, along with Senator Blumenthal and a few other Senators, a bill on password privacy, and it's called the Password Protection Act.

I think that even if you ask the best companies, companies with the best privacy practices, about that, they would say that's part of the reason why they are interested in things like Do Not Track standards and privacy legislation.

I want to thank you for that, even though it's exactly not on topic, it is kind of, but then move on to some other things.

I wish to thank so much the Senator from Maryland for showing such a succinct way of describing such an incredibly complex but important bill. We have also been joined by the Senator from California who has been a long-time leader on this…

A group of women Senators is here to talk about the Violence Against Women bill, and as my colleague from Arizona was referencing, this is a bill where there has been unity for well over a decade. We have a number of Republican sponsors…

This is bipartisan legislation that we have introduced with Senators Schumer, Rubio, Blunt, Mikulski, Kirk, and Lee.
