Thank you to my colleagues for supporting three of my amendments to the Homeland Security Appropriations legislation and Department of Defense appropriations legislation that will provide vital funding for investigations of child exploitation, as well as funding for isostatic advanced armor production that will ensure greater protection for our troops who put their lives on the line for our freedoms.” Amendment Background Department of Defense Appropriations Amendment to increase funding for isostatic advanced armor production by $6 million - Funding would support development of cutting-edge processes for armor production, yielding higher armor strengths, decreased weight, and flexible shapes for unique, small statured, and female body types. - Saint Louis area manufacturers are leading the charge in developing this armor. Homeland Security Appropriations Amendment to increase funding for the ICE/HSI Human Exploitation Rescue Operation (HERO) Child Rescue Corps from $2 million to $4 million. -The HERO Child Rescue Corps Program is a paid federal internship that recruits and trains veterans to become computer forensic analysts to combat child exploitation and rescue child victims.
