2422(B) OF TITLE 18, UNITED STATES CODE.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
(1) a jury convicted Jan P. Helder, Jr., of using a
computer to attempt to entice an individual who had not
attained the age of 18 years to engage in unlawful sexual
activity;
(2) during the trial, evidence showed that Jan Helder had
engaged in an online chat with an individual posing as a minor,
who unbeknownst to him, was an undercover law enforcement
officer;
(3) notwithstanding, Dean Whipple, District Judge for the
Western District of Missouri, acquitted Jan Helder, ruling that
because he did not, in fact, communicate with a minor, he did
not commit a crime;
(4) the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, in United States v.
Jeffrey Meek, specifically addressed the question facing Judge
Whipple and concurred with the 5th and 11th Circuit Courts in
finding that ``an actual minor victim is not required for an
attempt conviction under 18 U.S.C. 2422(b).'';
(5) the Department of Justice has successfully used
evidence obtained through undercover law enforcement to
prosecute and convict perpetrators who attempted to solicit
children on the Internet; and
(6) the Department of Justice states, ``Online child
pornography/child sexual exploitation is the most significant
cyber crime problem confronting the FBI that involves crimes
against children''.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) it is a crime under section 2422(b) of title 18, United
States Code, to use a facility of interstate commerce to
attempt to entice an individual who has not attained the age of
18 years into unlawful sexual activity, even if the perpetrator
incorrectly believes that the individual has not attained the
age of 18 years;
(2) well-established caselaw has established that section
2422(b) of title 18, United States Code, criminalizes any
attempt to entice a minor into unlawful sexual activity, even
if the perpetrator incorrectly believes that the individual has
not attained the age of 18 years;
(3) the Department of Justice should appeal Judge Whipple's
decision in United States v. Helder, Jr. and aggressively
continue to track down and prosecute sex offenders on the
Internet; and
(4) Judge Whipple's decision in United States v. Helder,
Jr. should be overturned in light of the law as it is written,
the intent of Congress, and well-established caselaw.

to the provisions of section 4247(b) and (c).
``(c) Hearing.--The hearing shall be conducted pursuant to the
provisions of section 4247(d).
``(d) Determination and Disposition.--If, after the hearing, the
court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the person is a
sexually dangerous person, the court shall commit the person to the
custody of the Attorney General. The Attorney General shall release the
person to the appropriate official of the State in which the person is
domiciled or was tried if such State will assume responsibility for his
custody, care, and treatment. The Attorney General shall make all
reasonable efforts to cause such a State to assume such responsibility.
If, notwithstanding such efforts, neither such State will assume such
responsibility, the Attorney General shall place the person for
treatment in a suitable facility, until--
``(1) such a State will assume such responsibility; or
``(2) the person's condition is such that he is no longer
sexually dangerous to others, or will not be sexually dangerous
to others if released under a prescribed regimen of medical,
psychiatric, or psychological care or treatment;
whichever is earlier.
``(e) Discharge.--When the Director of the facility in which a
person is placed pursuant to subsection (d) determines that the
person's condition is such that he is no longer sexually dangerous to
others, or will not be sexually dangerous to others if released under a
prescribed regimen of medical, psychiatric, or psychological care or
treatment, he shall promptly file a certificate to that effect with the
clerk of the court that ordered the commitment. The clerk shall send a
copy of the certificate to the person's counsel and to the attorney for
the Government. The court shall order the discharge of the person or,
on motion of the attorney for the Government or on its own motion,
shall hold a hearing, conducted pursuant to the provisions of section
4247(d), to determine whether he should be released. If, after the
hearing, the court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the
person's condition is such that--
``(1) he will not be sexually dangerous to others if
released unconditionally, the court shall order that he be
immediately discharged; or
``(2) he will not be sexually dangerous to others if
released under a prescribed regimen of medical, psychiatric, or
psychological care or treatment, the court shall--
``(A) order that he be conditionally discharged
under a prescribed regimen of medical, psychiatric, or
psychological care or treatment that has been prepared
for him, that has been certified to the court as
appropriate by the Director of the facility in which he
is committed, and that has been found by the court to
be appropriate; and
``(B) order, as an explicit condition of release,
that he comply with the prescribed regimen of medical,
psychiatric, or psychological care or treatment.
The court at any time may, after a hearing employing the same
criteria, modify or eliminate the regimen of medical,
psychiatric, or psychological care or treatment.
``(f) Revocation of Conditional Discharge.--The director of a
facility responsible for administering a regimen imposed on a person
conditionally discharged under subsection (e) shall notify the Attorney
General and the court having jurisdiction over the person of any
failure of the person to comply with the regimen. Upon such notice, or
upon other probable cause to believe that the person has failed to
comply with the prescribed regimen of medical, psychiatric, or
psychological care or treatment, the person may be arrested, and, upon
arrest, shall be taken without unnecessary delay before the court
having jurisdiction over him. The court shall, after a hearing,
determine whether the person should be remanded to a suitable facility
on the ground that he is sexually dangerous to others in light of his
failure to comply with the prescribed regimen of medical, psychiatric,
or psychological care or treatment.
``(g) Release to State of Certain Other Persons.--If the director
of the facility in which a person is hospitalized or placed pursuant to
this chapter certifies to the Attorney General that a person, against
whom all charges have been dismissed for reasons not related to the
mental condition of the person, is a sexually dangerous person, the
Attorney General shall release the person to the appropriate official
of the State in which the person is domiciled or was tried for the
purpose of institution of State proceedings for civil commitment. If
neither such State will assume such responsibility, the Attorney
General shall release the person upon receipt of notice from the State
that it will not assume such responsibility, but not later than 10 days
after certification by the director of the facility.''.

TITLE VI--CHILD PORNOGRAPHY PREVENTION
SEC. 601. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The effect of the intrastate production,
transportation, distribution, receipt, advertising, and
possession of child pornography on interstate market in child
pornography.
(A) The illegal production, transportation,
distribution, receipt, advertising and possession of
child pornography, as defined in section 2256(8) of
title 18, United States Code, as well as the transfer
of custody of children for the production of child
pornography, is harmful to the physiological,
emotional, and mental health of the children depicted
in child pornography and has a substantial and
detrimental effect on society as a whole.
(B) A substantial interstate market in child
pornography exists, including not only a multimillion
dollar industry, but also a nationwide network of
individuals openly advertising their desire to exploit
children and to traffic in child pornography. Many of
these individuals distribute child pornography with the
expectation of receiving other child pornography in
return.
(C) The interstate market in child pornography is
carried on to a substantial extent through the mails
and other instrumentalities of interstate and foreign
commerce, such as the Internet. The advent of the
Internet has greatly increased the ease of
transporting, distributing, receiving, and advertising
child pornography in interstate commerce. The advent of
digital cameras and digital video cameras, as well as
videotape cameras, has greatly increased the ease of
producing child pornography. The advent of inexpensive
computer equipment with the capacity to store large
numbers of digital images of child pornography has
greatly increased the ease of possessing child
pornography. Taken together, these technological
advances have had the unfortunate result of greatly
increasing the interstate market in child pornography.
(D) Intrastate incidents of production,
transportation, distribution, receipt, advertising, and
possession of child pornography, as well as the
transfer of custody of children for the production of
child pornography, have a substantial and direct effect
upon interstate commerce because:
(I) Some persons engaged in the production,
transportation, distribution, receipt,
advertising, and possession of child
pornography conduct such activities entirely
within the boundaries of one state. These
persons are unlikely to be content with the
amount of child pornography they produce,
transport, distribute, receive, advertise, or
possess. These persons are therefore likely to
enter the interstate market in child
pornography in search of additional child
pornography, thereby stimulating demand in the
interstate market in child pornography.
(ii) When the persons described in
subparagraph (D)(I) enter the interstate market
in search of additional child pornography, they
are likely to distribute the child pornography
they already produce, transport, distribute,
receive, advertise, or possess to persons who
will distribute additional child pornography to
them, thereby stimulating supply in the
interstate market in child pornography.
(iii) Much of the child pornography that
supplies the interstate market in child
pornography is produced entirely within the
boundaries of one state, is not traceable, and
enters the interstate market surreptitiously.
This child pornography supports demand in the
interstate market in child pornography and is
essential to its existence.
(E) Prohibiting the intrastate production,
transportation, distribution, receipt, advertising, and
possession of child pornography, as well as the
intrastate transfer of custody of children for the
production of child pornography, will cause some
persons engaged in such intrastate activities to cease
all such activities, thereby reducing both supply and
demand in the interstate market for child pornography.
(F) Federal control of the intrastate incidents of
the production, transportation, distribution, receipt,
advertising, and possession of child pornography, as
well as the intrastate transfer of children for the
production of child pornography, is essential to the
effective control of the interstate market in child
pornography.
(2) The importance of protecting children from repeat
exploitation in child pornography:
(A) The vast majority of child pornography
prosecutions today involve images contained on computer
hard drives, computer disks, and related media.
(B) Child pornography is not entitled to protection
under the First Amendment and thus may be prohibited.
(C) The government has a compelling state interest
in protecting children from those who sexually exploit
them, and this interest extends to stamping out the
vice of child pornography at all levels in the
distribution chain.
(D) Every instance of viewing images of child
pornography represents a renewed violation of the
privacy of the victims and a repetition of their abuse.
(E) Child pornography constitutes prima facie
contraband, and as such should not be distributed to,
or copied by, child pornography defendants or their
attorneys.
(F) It is imperative to prohibit the reproduction
of child pornography in criminal cases so as to avoid
repeated violation and abuse of victims, so long as the
government makes reasonable accommodations for the
inspection, viewing, and examination of such material
for the purposes of mounting a criminal defense.

that constitutes child pornography (as defined by section 2256
of this title) must remain in the care, custody, and control of
either the Government or the court.
