“I ask that Megan's law, that the gentleman from New Jersey [Mr. Zimmer] is putting forth, will make the Dunn-Deal a done deal, that it does strengthen the legislation passed on this House floor. Can my colleagues imagine Larry Quay, the individual that, in public outrage, most all Americans fought because he was going to be released after he said he was going to do it again? Would my colleagues want that individual to move in next door to their family without knowing about it, that perhaps a sexual predator's life should be just a little more toxic than someone else in the American citizenry, that an individual that preys on children, that maybe their rights should be secondary to children's and families'? So I would like to thank the chairman of the committee and the gentleman from New Jersey [Mr. Zimmer] for making this a done deal.”
