Robert Portman
The Public Record
It's a disgrace. And I believe history is going to judge us on how we respond to it.
We are 100 percent confident that a Portman/Blumenthal amendment--identical to S. 1693--offered to the Communications Decency Act in 1996 would have passed the Senate overwhelmingly.
Your legislation will help bring justice to victims and their families and protect vulnerable women and children.
This legislation will help. This Committee can act to stop criminal sex trafficking online.
We agree that congressional action is necessary to put an end to this tragic exploitation of human beings.
One of the best practices that has been identified is agencies jointly producing documents so that duplicative reviews do not have to be conducted by more than one agency.
I am going to continue to be impatient because I think it is so critical to get this in place and get it right.
I think it can work. I am not against having even more accountability in it, but this was a bipartisan process.
