I rise in strong support of the Smith amendment to H.R. 4092. The Justice Department's Knox brief is a tragedy because it creates a new loophole in our child pornography laws which will lead to a flood of sexual abuse of children. The Justice Department's action completely misrepresents congressional intent as outlined in the Child Protection Act of 1984. Passage of this amendment sends a strong message to the Justice Department and to would-be child pornographers. Mr. Chairman, our children want justice from Janet Reno's Justice Department. Let us follow the Senate's lead on stopping child pornography and pass the Smith amendment unanimously.
