This law, initially passed in 1992, supports grants for programs to assist the victims of child abuse. Our colleague, the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Cramer), was involved in the original enactment of this legislation and continues to be very active in the programs administered through this program and deserves a great deal of credit for the activity underlying the amendment." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
