                      THE GOOD WORK AT GUANTANAMO

  (Mr. PRICE of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PRICE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, like many Americans, I have heard 
of some activities at the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay that 
have given me some concern. Unlike most Americans, I recently had the 
opportunity to visit Guantanamo and what I saw with my own eyes was not 
what I had heard.
  All Americans can be proud of our servicemen and women who protect 
us, including those at Guantanamo. They are our moms and our dads, our 
brothers and our sisters, our sons and our daughters, and they are 
running a professional, respectful, orderly and clean detention 
facility that is vital to our security.
  The war on terror continues. The men being held at Guantanamo are 
constantly being evaluated to determine whether their detention should 
continue. Are they still a threat, or can they provide further 
information in the war on terror? For each of them the answer is 
clearly yes.
  Mr. Speaker, General Raymond Hood and all members of the Joint Task 
Force at Guantanamo should be honored and commended for their work and 
help in protecting all Americans.
