On the recordOctober 9, 2004
This is the very important DNA bill which will help resolve the difficulties with over 400,000 rape kits in this country, some of which are 20 years old or older. Mr. President, I would just like to compliment Debbie Smith and Kirk Bloodsworth, who are two of the initiating people who have helped bring this about, but also all the people who worked so hard: Senator Leahy, Senator Biden, Senator Specter, Senator Feinstein, Senator DeWine and, of course on the House side, Chairman Sensenbrenner and Representative Bill Delahunt for their dogged determination, and to Senators Kyl, Sessions, and Cornyn who did a really great job on this bill; also staff on both sides, in both Houses. With that, I yield the floor.
