smith. >> thank you mr. chairman. i appreciate the work that not just ms. speier but to ms. sanchez tsongas and must ms. davis and a lot of other folks who have done this. we have a very serious problem in the military was sexual assault then it can be best described a think as deep and cultural. i believe sincerely that the military leadership now recognizes that. it is trying to change it. it's not an easy thing to do. there've been a lot of bad examples in recent months and we have changed the law and a number of ways and the need to address this. the problem i have with both of these amendments is that they make a huge change to the existing judicial structure. one of the biggest problems we have had his victims coming forward. will the victims feel like they will be fairly treated if they come forward? changing that culture has been significant and i think there is benefit challenge in the significant increase in reporting last year oddly is a positive. it shows they were willing to come forward. as ms. speier correctly points out that is but one step in the process. number one even if you take the

smith for his important legislation involving sex trafficking. i'd like to commend ms. wilson for her resolution that aims to take on the tough issue of the abduction of these female students by boko haram. anytime we have an opportunity to stand up against terror and in support of children's rights, we should do it. but i really want to thank my friend and colleague chafor her work in moving the act forward and for doing it swiftly. i'm proud to be an original co-sponsor. this bill will empower the administration are w. tools to crack down on human rights abuses taking place against those seeking basic freedoms in venezuela. people in venezuela have the democratic right to supreme of speech, to freedom of assembly, on do process and the democratic right to a responsive government. tragically the madura regime has trampled over each of these rights. this government has continued its repressive policies. journalists are imprisoned, protesters are subjected to serious abuses, torture and even death. and for what? simple li becauy because of ven demanding greater security
