The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“VICTIMS OF CHILD ABUSE ACT REAUTHORIZATION ACT OF 2013” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Justice was published in the Extensions of Remarks section on pages E1265 on July 29, 2014.

VICTIMS OF CHILD ABUSE ACT REAUTHORIZATION ACT OF 2013
______
speech of
HON. TRENT FRANKS
of arizona
in the house of representatives
Monday, July 28, 2014
Mr. FRANKS of Arizona. Mr. Speaker, on July 28, I made remarks on S. 1799, the Victims of Child Abuse Act Reauthorization Act. I want to clarify that the bill makes funds available to the Department of Justice, including the FBI and the U.S. Attorneys' Offices for victims' services under the Crime Victims Fund. S. 1799 clarifies that funds available may only be used to benefit victims, through the work of Victim Witness Coordinators, Advocates, and Specialists, and for the administrative support of these employees to help them in their service to crime victims. For example, these Coordinators, Advocates, and Specialists may not be used to do witness travel services but instead should be exclusively providing services for the benefit of crime victims as the statute says. This provision was contained in a House bill, the Justice for Crime Victims Act of 2014, which I introduced in March of this year.
