         Subtitle D--Monitoring Child, Forced, and Slave Labor

     SEC. 131. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) foreign assistance that addresses poverty alleviation 
     and humanitarian disasters reduces the vulnerability of men, 
     women, and children to human trafficking and is a crucial 
     part of the response of the United States to modern-day 
     slavery;
       (2) the Deputy Under Secretary of the Bureau of 
     International Labor Affairs of the Department of Labor and 
     the grant programs administered by the Deputy Under Secretary 
     play a critical role in preventing and protecting children 
     from the worst forms of child labor, including situations of 
     trafficking, and in reducing the vulnerabilities of men and 
     women to situations of forced labor and trafficking; and
       (3) the Secretary of Labor also plays a critical role in 
     helping other Federal departments and agencies to prevent 
     goods made with forced and child labor from entering the 
     United States by consulting with such departments and 
     agencies to reduce forced and child labor internationally and 
     ensuring that products made by forced labor and child labor 
     in violation of international standards are not imported into 
     the United States.

       Congress finds the following:
       (1) The recruitment or use of children in armed conflict is

     entity receiving United States assistance.
       (2) The recruitment or use of children in armed conflict, 
     including direct combat, support roles, and sexual slavery, 
     occurred during 2016 or 2017 in Afghanistan, Iran, Mali, 
     Niger, South Sudan, Sudan, Burma, the Democratic Republic of 
     the Congo, Iraq, Nigeria, Rwanda, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen.
       (3) Entities of the Government of Afghanistan, particularly 
     the Afghan Local Police and Afghan National Police, continue 
     to recruit children to serve as combatants or as servants, 
     including as sex slaves.
       (4) Police forces of the Government of Afghanistan 
     participate in counterterrorism operations, direct and 
     indirect combat, security operations, fight alongside regular 
     armies, and are targeted for violence by the Taliban and 
     other opposition groups.
       (5) In February 2016, a 10-year-old boy was assassinated by 
     the Taliban after he had been publicly honored by Afghan 
     local police forces for his assistance in combat operations 
     against the Taliban.
       (6) Recruitment and use of children in armed conflict by 
     government forces has continued in South Sudan with the

  Mr. Speaker, the Senate unanimously passed this amendment version of 
H.R. 2200, the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and 
Protection Reauthorization Act, which the House originally passed back 
in July. It is part of a bipartisan, bicameral package of bills to 
reauthorize and to strengthen our Nation's effort to combat human 
trafficking. It deserves our unanimous support.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this measure.
  The measure before us reauthorizes the Trafficking Victims Protection 
Act to make protection for survivors more effective, improve the way we 
prevent this crime, and ensure that we are prosecuting those 
responsible.
  This bipartisan bill passed the Senate unanimously. A very similar 
version passed the House by voice vote in July of 2017. Mr. Speaker, I 
urge all Members to join me and the chairman in supporting it.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. SMITH of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, as prime author of the landmark 
Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA), it is an honor to 
present the new Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and 
Protection Reauthorization Act.
  This bipartisan bill--and I thank Karen Bass for her cosponsorship 
and strong support--is a comprehensive, reauthorization and expansion 
of key elements of the TVPA and related policies.
  In the fight to end modern day slavery, my new bill honors the 
extraordinary legacy of one of the greatest Americans who ever lived.
  Born a slave in 1818--we celebrated the 200th anniversary of his 
birth this year--Frederick Douglass escaped slavery when he was 20 and 
dedicated his entire life to abolishing slavery and after emancipation, 
to ending Jim Crow laws, all the while struggling for full equality. A 
gifted orator, author, editor, statesman (and Republican), he died in 
1895.
  The Frederick Douglass bill before us today authorizes over $430 
million over 4 years to prevent human trafficking, protect victims, and 
beef up prosecution of those involved in this nefarious trade both at 
home and abroad. It provides:
   $18 million over three years to the Departments of Homeland 
Security, Justice, and State to fund the International Megan's Law
   $78 million over four years to the Department of Health and Human 
Services
   $20 million over four years to the Department of Labor
   $315 million over four years to the Department of State
  Additional funding to train airport personnel, flight attendants, and 
pilots to recognize and report to law enforcement potential trafficking 
victims in transit
  Specifically, the new bill significantly expands our efforts to 
combat trafficking by:
  Ensuring vulnerable children, throughout the United States, are 
educated to avoid traffickers;
  Encouraging job training for trafficking survivors, especially those 
who were exploited in sex trafficking as children;
  Preferring in government travel contracts airlines and hotels that 
have in place anti-trafficking training and reporting policies for 
their employees;
  Keeping goods made by child trafficking victims out of the United 
States by ensuring funding for and enhancing Department of Labor 
reports on slave-made goods;
  Encouraging enforcement of the Tariff Act of 1930's prohibition on 
the importation of goods made with forced labor;
  Helping survivors get back on their feet by treating civil damages 
they win from their traffickers the same as criminal restitution;
  Designating one prosecutor in each of the Department of Justice's 
focus districts to investigate and prosecute labor trafficking cases;
  Preventing abuse of domestic servants in embassies and diplomatic 
homes in the United States;
  Encouraging credible and effective use of the trafficking tier 
ranking system by the U.S. Department of State in the annual 
Trafficking in Persons Report; and
  Strengthening implementation of all U.S. laws and regulations in 
place to prevent U.S. government purchases from putting money in the 
hands of traffickers and encouraging accountability for U.S. government 
contractors involved in human trafficking;
  Empowering trafficking survivors to be more involved in the 
development of human trafficking policy; and
  Integrating the fight against human trafficking into U.S. foreign 
assistance more fully.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from California (Mr. Royce) that the House suspend the rules 
and concur in the Senate amendment to the bill, H.R. 2200.
  The question was taken.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds 
being in the affirmative, the ayes have it.
  Mr. MASSIE. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further 
proceedings on this motion will be postponed.
