       WHEREAS, The continuation of the combat against trafficking in persons and ensuring the just and effective punishment of traffickers and the protection of their victims is dependent on appropriations for the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 for fiscal year 2014 and later fiscal years; and

       WHEREAS, Attorneys General from across the United States have urged Congress to enact legislation that authorizes appropriations for the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000; and
