Summary
Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that: (1) the people of the United States should review their own conduct, take all reasonable steps to use freedom of speech to build up and not destroy, advance public morality, restrain the growth of illegal sexual speech and activity, and create an environment in which children will learn to do good and oppose evil; (2) the President, Congress, and the States should review their laws, executive orders, and policies to determine and effectuate what may be done to end the use of individuals and their images as sexual objects or tools; and (3) the President and the Attorney General should vigorously enforce Federal obscenity laws and aggressively pursue violations of laws involving the interstate movement of individuals for illegal sexual purposes.
