                         TRY DETAINEES IN CUBA

  (Mr. ROONEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. ROONEY. Mr. Speaker, last week, my office introduced legislation 
to have all the detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba tried in a military 
commission at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
  Recently, when I was at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, I visited the men and 
women who are serving in uniform guarding the prisoners at that 
facility in a facility that has cost taxpayers in the hundreds of 
thousands of dollars. We also have a state-of-the-art courtroom there 
to accommodate. I urge Members to support this bill, which is a 
commonsense resolution to a very controversial issue this year. Try the 
detainees in Cuba in a military court martial.
