SEC. 160002. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING STATE LEGISLATION REGARDING

It is the sense of the Congress that each State that has not yet done

years of age engaging in sexually explicit conduct (as defined in
section 2256 of title 18, United States Code) and providing for a
maximum imprisonment of at least 1 year and for the forfeiture of
assets used in the commission or support of, or gained from, such
offenses.
SEC. 160003. CONFIRMATION OF INTENT OF CONGRESS IN ENACTING SECTIONS
2252 AND 2256 OF TITLE 18, UNITED STATES CODE.
(a) Declaration .-The Congress declares that in enacting sections 2252
and 2256 of title 18, United States Code, it was and is the intent of
Congress that-
(1) the scope of "exhibition of the genitals or pubic area" in section
2256(2)(E), in the definition of "sexually explicit conduct", is not
limited to nude exhibitions or exhibitions in which the outlines of
those areas were discernible through clothing; and
(2) the requirements in section 2252(a) (1)(A), (2)(A), (3)(B)(i), and
(4)(B)(i) that the production [*H8838] of a visual depiction involve
the use of a minor engaging in "sexually explicit conduct" of the kind
described in section 2256(2)(E) are satisfied if a person photographs
a minor in such a way as to exhibit the child in a lascivious manner.
(b) Sense of the Congress .-It is the sense of the Congress that in
filing its brief in United States v. Knox, No. 92-1183, and thereby
depriving the United States Supreme Court of the adverseness necessary
for full and fair presentation of the issues arising in the case, the
Department of Justice did not accurately reflect the intent of
Congress in arguing that "the videotapes in (the Knox case) constitute
'lascivious exhibition(s) of the genitals or pubic area' only if those
body parts are visible in the tapes and the minors posed or acted
lasciviously.".
