just briefly the hour is late, I want to thank again my ranking member, the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi), my colleague, the gentleman from Vermont (Mr. Sanders) and our chairman, the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Callahan) for the commitment to put money into this effort. Having recently returned from India, visiting a school where we spoke with the young girls who had been trafficked, the tragedy of this throughout the world is so immense and I know the gentleman from Alabama is aware of it and I appreciate the gentleman's commitment to invest the money in this effort, and I thank the gentleman.
