                             GUANTANAMO BAY

  (Mr. LaMALFA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaMALFA. Mr. Speaker, once again, Congress acted to stop the 
transfer of GTMO detainees to the United States. Guantanamo Bay is a 
much better venue to hold these known terrorists than to have them on 
American soil. Yet the President wants to defy Congress and the 
American people, who desire not to have this happen, and bring them 
onto American soil.
  It endangers our courts, our system of government, and our people by 
bringing them here or even ultimately releasing them. We need to have 
the President, if he tries this and loses in court, once again, take a 
lesson in the final 10 months of his term that he needs to uphold the 
law that we passed and that he signed.
