Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Missing and Exploited Children Task
Force Act of 1993''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

The Congress finds that--
(1) the victimization of children in our Nation has reached
epidemic proportions; recent Department of Justice figures show
that--
(A) 4,600 children were abducted by non-family
members;
(B) two-thirds of the abductions of children by
non-family members involve sexual assault;
(C) more than 354,000 children were abducted by
family members; and
(D) 451,000 children ran away;
(2) while some local law enforcement officials have been
successful in the investigation and resolution of such crimes,
most local agencies lack the personnel and resources necessary
to give this problem the full attention it requires;
(3) a majority of the Nation's 17,000 police departments
have 10 or fewer officers; and
(4) locating missing children requires a coordinated law
enforcement effort; supplementing local law enforcement
agencies with a team of assigned active Federal agents will
allow Federal agents to pool their resources and expertise in
order to assist local agents in the investigation of the
Nation's most difficult cases involving missing children.

SEC. 3. PURPOSE.

The purpose of this Act is to establish a task force comprised of
law enforcement officers from pertinent Federal agencies to work with
the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (referred to as
the ''Center'') and coordinate the provision of Federal law enforcement
resources to assist State and local authorities in investigating the
most difficult cases of missing and exploited children.

SEC. 4. ESTABLISHMENT OF TASK FORCE.

Title IV of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of
1974 (42 U.S.C. 5771 et seq.) is amended--
(1) by redesignating sections 407 and 408 as sections 408
and 409, respectively; and
(2) by inserting after section 406 the following new
