                       OPPOSE RELEASE OF UYGHURS

  (Mr. WOLF asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WOLF. Mr. Speaker, I rise in firm opposition to any decision by 
the Attorney General to release the trained terrorists known as Uyghurs 
from Guantanamo Bay into the neighborhoods, that's right, in American 
neighborhoods. I believe this would be a terrible decision that can 
needlessly endanger American citizens.
  If Eric Holder proceeds down this dangerous road, he has an 
obligation, an obligation, to the American people to release all of the 
information about the capture, detention, and threat posed by each 
detainee. If the Attorney General believes these trained terrorists 
pose no threat, then why not release all of this information to the 
Congress and, more importantly than even to the Congress, to the 
American people.
  Also, Mr. Speaker, why will the Attorney General not allow career 
people in the FBI, DHS and CIA to come up and brief the Congress? It's 
time for Eric Holder to make a decision to release this information. 
These trained terrorists should not be released into American 
neighborhoods.
