Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act of 2015 --- Continued

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. SULLIVAN. Mr. President, I rise in support of amendment No. 279,
the Mann Act cooperation amendment. This is a simple amendment with
strong bipartisan support.

I appreciate the cosponsors, Senators Murkowski, Ayotte, Heitkamp,
and Gillibrand.

What this amendment will do, it will increase prosecutions of human
trafficking without an increase in cost. It allows and encourages
Federal prosecutors to work with State officials to prosecute Mann Act
violations and increases transparency.

The key goal of this amendment is to enable the resources and
cooperation between State and Federal prosecutors to ensure all cases
of human trafficking are pursued and victims have justice.

I encourage my colleagues to support this amendment.
