The Honorable Donald H. Rumsfeld
Secretary of Defense
U.S. Department of Defense
Washington, D.C. 20301
Dear Secretary Rumsfeld:
Last week, my staff requested that the
Department of Defense provide to the appropriate committees of
Congress any materials regarding treatment of detainees at the
U.S. military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. This request
included any guidelines, procedures, or physical evidence—such as
photos or videotapes—pertaining to the detainees. In light of the
attached article in yesterday’s Observer, I reiterate my request that
you provide to the appropriate committees of Congress, including the
Armed Services Committee and the Appropriations Committee, all of the
videotapes, and any other photographic evidence, documenting the
actions of the “emergency response forces” at Guantanamo.
Given the urgency of this matter, I
request that these tapes be submitted to the Committees noted above by
May 24, 2004.
Sincerely,
PATRICK LEAHY
United States Senator
