I commend his work as chairman of the Commerce Committee in pursuing this area because it is an important area, to provide needed protections for children in libraries and schools, to have a program in place to deal with the issues of pornography and violence and the other things that have opened up on the Internet. I have nothing but words of praise for the Senator from Arizona and for the work he has initiated. In fact, the amendment I have just introduced uses his language pretty much as the base of the amendment. But in looking at this issue, now, for the past several years--and I have young children; I am very concerned about their access to the Internet--talking to people from both libraries and schools, and others who are interested in the subject area, I believe the McCain amendment, while I think it goes so far, can in fact and should go further.

We birthed a nation from nothing. I mean, there`s nothing here. I mean, yes, we have Native Americans but if but candidly that -- there isn`t much Native American culture in American culture. It was born of the people who came here.
