     SEC. 2. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The crime of human trafficking involves the 
     exploitation of adults through force, fraud, or coercion, and 
     children for such purposes as forced labor or commercial sex.
       (2) Reliable data on the prevalence of human trafficking in 
     the United States is not available, but cases have been 
     reported in all 50 States, the territories of the United 
     States, and the District of Columbia.
       (3) Each year, thousands of individuals may be trafficked 
     within the United States, according to recent estimates from 
     victim advocates.
       (4) More accurate and comprehensive data on the prevalence 
     of human trafficking is needed to properly combat this form 
     of modern slavery in the United States.
       (5) Victims of human trafficking can include men, women, 
     and children who are diverse with respect to race, ethnicity, 
     and nationality, among other factors.
       (6) Since the enactment of the Trafficking Victims 
     Protection Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-386; 114 Stat. 1464), 
     human traffickers have launched increasingly sophisticated 
     schemes to increase the scope of their activities and the 
     number of their victims.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     Congress supports additional efforts to raise awareness of 
     and oppose human trafficking.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The crime of human trafficking involves the 
     exploitation of adults through

[[Page H9387]]

     force, fraud, or coercion, and children for such purposes as 
     forced labor or commercial sex.
       (2) Reliable data on the prevalence of human trafficking in 
     the United States is not available, but cases have been 
     reported in all 50 States, the territories of the United 
     States, and the District of Columbia.
       (3) Each year, thousands of individuals may be trafficked 
     within the United States, according to recent estimates from 
     victim advocates.
       (4) More accurate and comprehensive data on the prevalence 
     of human trafficking is needed to properly combat this form 
     of modern slavery in the United States.
       (5) Victims of human trafficking can include men, women, 
     and children who are diverse with respect to race, ethnicity, 
     and nationality, among other factors.
       (6) Since the enactment of the Trafficking Victims 
     Protection Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-386; 114 Stat. 1464), 
     human traffickers have launched increasingly sophisticated 
     schemes to increase the scope of their activities and the 
     number of their victims.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     Congress supports additional efforts to raise awareness of 
     and oppose human trafficking.
