mr. nadler: thank you, mr. chairman. i rise in support of the moran-myth-nadler amendment. we are told by some in the majority that enemy soldiers should not have constitutional rights. but, mr. speaker, a majority concededly of those at guantanamo were never involved in a hostile act toward the united states. 86% were turned in for bounties. we don't know whether these people are enemy soldiers. some of them may be and some of them are probably not. and we don't know that they're terrorists. those facts must be determined in a fair proceeding of some sort. but at guantanamo there are no proceedings. they haven't managed to hold military trials. and we can't hold civilian trials there. so we are holding people for no purpose with no proceedings, no hearings, no opportunity essentially forever. the time to close guantanamo is now. guantanamo is a stain on our national honor. never mind the foreign policy reasons why it's poisoning our relations with foreign countries. it's instigating terrorism against it. the fact is it's wrong. we're holding 154 people at guantanamo. 77 of

mr. nadler: i thank the gentleman for yielding. mr.speaker, i rise in strong support of h.r. 4323, the debbie smith re-authorization act. every two minutes in this country someone is sexually assaulted. that means at least one man, woman or child will have been brutally attacked. by the end of this year more than 200,000 people, nearly all of them women and girls, will be victimized in the most inhumane way. 3% of attackers will ever serve a day in prison. these statistics are staggering, and we are not doing all we can to ensure that every victim has access to the justice they deserve. too often victims who will willing to report their attacks feels them victimized all over again. they then wait, often living in fear and with no information from law enforcement while their rape kit collects dust in an evidence locker or on a lab shelf. it to see the importance of rape kit testing, look no further than new york city. in 1999, the city enacted a policy to test every rape kit and eliminated the backlog of over 17,000 kits. 15 years later

mr. nadler. the chair: the gentleman from new york is recognized for one minute. mr. nadler: thank you, mr. speaker. will make off budget our country more competitive and will create 8.8 million job rerks pairing our roads and bridges and educating our young people. it's the only budget that gets america back to full place of employment and does it in three years. it puts an end to the system where c.e.o.'s pay a lower tax rate than their secretaries. it restores full funding to food stamps and strengthens medicare and medicaid. it makes a clear choice to support working class families, seniors, and those in feed. -- in need. for the fourth year in a row, the republicans choose to slash jobs and destroy the safety net they choose to slash aid to college students. they choose huge tax cuts for million belnaries and tax increases for the middle class. the republican budget makes a clear choice, billionaires before working class and seniors. the better off budget supports jobs and working class families not just the richest 1%. i urge my colleagues to invest in this count
