i'd offer for the record senator grassley's statement and, mr. holder, i've been disappointed having responding about the uyghurs, he said he has three letters that's gone unanswered by the department and he has serious concerns about that. i'm sure you'll want to address that. mr. chairman, i will just briefly note with regard to the hate crimes legislation that i would suggest we should have a hearing on that. it's a matter that's worthy of attention and i would note -- offer for the record a june 16, 2009, letter from the united states civil commission on civil rights. i believe six of the eight members signed it and they say -- they write to us and the president and vice president urging that we vote against the hate crimes prevention act. they think it will do, "little good and great harm."
