On the recordApril 29, 1996
In the fall of 1994 I introduced a sense-of-the-Senate resolution condemning the cruel practice of female genital mutilation, and at that time I applauded the Government of Egypt for taking quick action against two men who performed this illegal act on a 10-year-old girl. This act had been performed hundreds of thousands of times. But on this occasion television cameras hidden in nature were watching this brutal act by a man with his 10-year-old daughter. Dressed in the finest clothes, she had came for a celebration. The little girl was excited, and happy because the attention was focused on her.
