“I rise in support of H.R. 3791, the Securing Adolescents From Exploitation-Online Act of 2007. The bill's author, the distinguished gentleman from Texas (Mr. Lampson) and I have worked closely on several bills in strengthening our child protection laws. I also want to thank Chairman Conyers and also the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Forbes) for their leadership in this area as well. And I'm pleased to be the principal cosponsor of this bill with Mr. Lampson, particularly as it provides law enforcement with better information to fight the despicable act of child pornography. We don't have to look any further than our homes and our communities to see that predators are threatening and victimizing our children with just a simple click. The Internet, while providing a world of opportunity to our children, has also contributed to a worldwide expansion of child pornography enabling predators to more easily abuse, exploit and prey on our most precious items, and that's our children.”
