KWAME HOLMAN: In the Senate, the issue was the president's request for $80 million to close the Guantanamo Bay prison camp.

KAY BAILEY HUTCHISON (R), Texas: Before setting a deadline to close this camp at Guantanamo Bay, a U.S. naval base where they have been secured from which there have been no escapes and no attempts to escape, before setting that deadline, the American people must be assured that the transfer or release of these detainees will not increase the risk to American citizens at home or abroad.
