Nick Lampson. The change also means that Congress will lose a prominent Internet era child safety advocate who cosponsored a number of key bills, including several that were signed by President Bush this year. One such measure strengthened and reauthorized funding for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and another authorized a $320 million funding boost for Justice Department-supported Internet Crimes Against Children task forces. That bill, which was combined with a proposal from Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., also imposed higher penalties on Internet providers that do not report child pornography found on their networks.
