I want to thank the gentleman from New York for the introduction of this bill. It closes an important gap in the statute, which will enhance the safety of our country and provide essential review confidentially. I urge my colleagues to support the bill. I yield back the balance of my time.

The Goldman Act empowered the State Department to seek the return of American children, yet, the department, in my opinion, has not used the full of range of tools as Congress has intended.
You can’t have a statewide school funding system that is fair to everyone — that’s equitable, that covers all costs of education, so that every student, no matter where they live, is treated the same, and every taxpayer treated the same —…
Since the Goldman Act was enacted there has been a decline in the number of American children abducted overseas and that is a good news story.
The difference is you’ll be increasing education funding and distributing it through a formula that’s fair and equitable, and ensure that every student in Rhode Island has access to what they need to be successful.
