While surveying humanitarian relief efforts in Sri Lanka, Congressman Smith met with Howell, New Jersey resident, Lance Corporal Richard Moran who was deployed to Sri Lanka to operate Marine Corps Water Purification Units capable of treating nearly any water source and turning it into clean water at the rate of thousands of gallons per day. Congressman Smith is pictured here with Lance Corporal Moran outside of Colombo, Sri Lanka. In addition to Sri Lanka, Smith toured Banda Aceh, Indonesia, and Phuket, Thailand as part of a congressional delegation preparing new legislation aimed at helping tsunami victims rebuild their lives. The legislation will provide specific protections for children who are susceptible to water-born disease and most vulnerable to sex traffickers who prey on poor, abandoned or orphaned children.
