Republicans always love. Costs no money, it makes money. It gives tools to the irs to go after the traffickers and to put them in jail and to fine them and take those fines and put them into building beds for those young people who have been victimmed, victimized and abused. We dont want to believe that it even happens in our own country, that its trafficked into our country, and the numbers are staggering, about those trafficked into our country but it happens domestically too. Often times foster care children are trafficked. They are trafficked, and when they come to you and tell you their stories you dont want to believe them that no one helped them. Their teachers, Guidance Counselors when they showed them them their bruises and they were advertised in books to be a child prostitute. So the crime is out there. We need to really work hard together to stop it. I became involved in 2000 when there was a constituent of mine in queens called big apple tours. Norman babarash and he would

Evaluating all of that information would be to issue an initial determination, initial decision of a defect to takata and the automakers. After that, we would hold a public hearing. How soon can you initiate that . As soon as humanly possible. The key, because we want to protect the American Public, we need to make sure we build the strongest case possible because at the end of the day, if takata and the automakers continue to refuse to act, we are going to have to take them to court. We want to make sure that we have a case prepared that will win in that circumstance. You can build a court case over time. Can you estimate for the committee and through the committee to the American People when your next step will be taken . We have begun our next step of diving into the data. That doesnt answer my question. The next legal step. Not just diving into the data. When will you next do something officially regarding takata and the automakers . I apologize.

You have hungary, which is a complete separate story. We could have a whole days panel worth about that country. But these are who would have i think in general the american and Foreign Policy community we figure this part of the world was done. You know, they were liberated from communism.
