                               speech of

                         HON. GEORGE RADANOVICH

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 27, 2006

  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my full support 
of H.R. 6166, the Military Commissions Act of 2006. This measure is 
vital in giving the President the resources he needs to bring 
terrorists and enemy combatants to justice. During these uncertain 
times of conflict and war, the United States requires established 
procedures to try captured terrorists and protect our troops. The 
justice system and rules of evidence that apply to enemies of war 
should be narrowly tailored within the legal framework to effectively 
prosecute terrorists. I fully support the compromise negotiated between 
the House, Senate, and Bush Administration on this important 
legislation. Though I was not able to cast my vote in favor of H.R. 
6166 on September 27, 2006, I would like to go on record as being in 
full support of the Military Commissions Act of 2006.
