On the recordMay 8, 2012
In the spirit of how important this is and to reinforce the fact that there are rape kits that are unaccounted for because there is not any data kept--so I don't think we have met the numbers. But I am willing to work with the chairman and the ranking member to determine how we can move in our next steps. I will tell you and I do acknowledge that we're doing the work, but we don't have enough money to do all the work that we need to bring justice to women across this Nation. I ask unanimous consent to withdraw the amendment and will work with the chairman and ranking member.
