byron is one of those individuals whose wisdom you appreciate more and more each day. someone who spoke years ago about the offshoring of jobs. someone who spoke years ago about a tax system that doesn't reward investment in american jobs, but, in fact, ironically might encourage disinvestment of those jobs. someone who spoke with reason, with candor, with thoughtfulness, with facts about issues that today we're beginning to recognize the rest of us are so critical to future of this country. we will miss that wisdom. we'll also miss his steady hand on the appropriations committee where he battled to ensure reasonably that the priorities of this nation were met. his support and his help in terms of the l iheap funding and his support to me is deeply appreciated. i thank him for his service and i know he will continue to provide in his writings and in his speeches the wise and thoughtful insights that, again, as we look back, i think we should have heeded with much more energy and enthusiasm when he spoke them. senator russ feingold, one of -- and this is said often, but

law enforcement official that i was particularly impressed with was dallas, texas, police sergeant byron facet. he explained to me, without the right training, law enforcement officers won't know how to spot the signs of sex trafficking and won't know how to handle the victims. so senator cornyn and i thought with the counsel of our colleagues on both sides of the aisle it would be important to provide specialized training for police officers and prosecutors to help them understand how to handle sex trafficking cases. the fact is sergeant facet of dallas, texas, could only be in one place at a time, and what this legislation is going to do, mr. president, is going to make it possible for other leaders in the law enforcement field to get the training out across the country, the state-of-the-art approaches about how to best fight the violent criminals who engage in this activity, and i'm very pleased that we were able to make possible as part of the grants in this legislation assistance for the law enforcement community. finally, mr. president, the bill would address another issue that is
