                        CHILD PORNOGRAPHY STING

  (Mr. FOLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. FOLEY. Madam Speaker, let me commend the administration, 
particularly Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, for his investigation 
that has busted a ring of 27 charged in a child pornography sting. 
Images traded worldwide on Internet chat room, despicable, disgusting, 
disgraceful conduct. Agents from the Justice Department, U.S. 
Immigration and Customs Enforcement and law enforcement authorities in 
several countries participated in this sting.
  This is disturbing news about pedophilia at the youngest, youngest 
age of children and victims. I urge the Senate to take up the House 
bill that was sent over in messages to help us rid this society of the 
scourge of child pornography, sexual exploitation, child molestation 
and finally get tough with the people that commit these heinous crimes 
against our most vulnerable. We have sent it overwhelmingly by voice 
vote to the other Chamber.
  I urge Senator Frist to bring his Chamber together to pass this vital 
legislation so we can continue to crack down on these monsters.
