On the recordJanuary 27, 2015
I would like to say again to my good friend and colleague from Florida, thank you for putting forward this effort to work with us. To my colleague, Mr. Pallone, I, too, believe that we need to work together. So just know that my door is open, that we will continue to work on these issues together, and I am just so glad that in a bipartisan effort today we are all coming together to stand up for victims of human trafficking and again get them on a path to recovery. At this point, Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Smith), my good friend, who has been a tireless and passionate advocate for women and families and children who are affected by human trafficking really long before many of us were even aware that it was an issue here in this country.
