“I include in the Record a letter from the National Children's Alliance, which has been working with other advocacy groups and, again, has done longstanding work against child abuse, supporting this legislation. National Children Alliance, Washington, DC, November 20, 2017. Hon. Paul Ryan, Speaker of the House, House of Representatives. Hon. Kevin McCarthy, U.S. House of Representatives. Hon. John Thune, U.S. Senate. Hon. Susan Brooks, House of Representatives. Hon. Nancy Pelosi, Minority Leader, House of Representatives. Hon. Steny Hoyer, House of Representatives. Hon. Dianne Feinstein, U.S. Senate. Hon. Lois Frankel, House of Representatives. Dear Speaker Ryan and Leader Pelosi: Dear Congressman McCarthy and Congressman Hoyer: Dear Senator Thune and Senator Feinstein: Dear Congresswoman Brooks and Congresswoman Frankel: The National Children's Alliance, in cooperation with numerous other advocacy groups, encourages the House of Representatives to pass the Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport Authorization Act (S.534). Having recently passed the Senate, this bipartisan legislation seeks to address the numerous reports of childhood sexual abuse that have occurred against our nation's young athletes. The recent press surrounding the United States' Olympic trainees only serves to heighten the need for a strong legislative response.…”
