                            CHILD SAFETY ACT

  (Mr. KENNEDY of Minnesota asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. KENNEDY of Minnesota. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to thank the 
hardworking law enforcement that have captured an escaped child sexual 
predator, Michael Benson, making our family safer. I commend John Walsh 
and his program, America's Most Wanted, on their 888th criminal 
apprehension out there making sure that we are putting these predators 
behind bars.
  But 8 months ago, we passed the Child Safety Act; and in the Child 
Safety Act we have provisions that keeps our families, our children 
safer. Yet it is being obstructed in the Senate. It is time for us to 
move forward, pass this legislation that is so vital to our children's 
protection. I call for action and call on my colleagues to join me.
