Political Quotes

“I greatly appreciate that. One of the areas is in the category of missing and exploited children. One of the areas that is of grave concern to me and a great many other Members of Congress is the problem of child pornography and child sexual exploitation on the Internet. It is a very, very serious problem. In the past, funds have been specifically designated for the purpose of providing funding to State and local law enforcement agencies to combat this. In last year's legislation, $6 million was so appropriated. I had intended to offer an amendment this year which provides that that $6 million or more be specifically designated for that purpose. The gentleman from Kentucky has indicated that this can be taken care of in conference and that this money will indeed ultimately be so designated. I hope to engage in a colloquy here to find out if indeed that is the case and he can indicate to me his plans for providing these funds for this specific purpose.”
