       ERIC ``WITH'' HOLDER--FAST AND FURIOUS--AND ANOTHER VICTIM

  (Mr. POE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. POE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, at a House Judiciary hearing, Eric 
``With'' Holder, the Attorney General, admitted to me that more people 
were going to die because of Operation Fast and Furious. That's the 
Justice Department and ATF gunrunning scheme that sent hundreds of U.S. 
automatic weapons to criminal drug cartels in Mexico.
  Recently, Mexican Police Chief Lucio Rosales Astorga of 
Hostotipaquillo, Mexico, was ambushed and gunned down by assassins as 
he was driving his son to school. His wife and two bodyguards were also 
shot. The automatic weapon used to shoot him was a Fast and Furious gun 
smuggled to Mexico by the U.S. Government. Reportedly, over 200 Mexican 
nationals have been killed by Fast and Furious weapons.
  American guns are at the side of these puddles of blood. Chief 
Astorga's son will be fatherless because of this government's 
recklessness. Meanwhile, Attorney General Eric ``With'' Holder keeps 
stonewalling justice and withholding information on this gunrunning 
scheme.
  Mr. Speaker, somebody needs to go to jail. And that's just the way it 
is.
