PROBLEM: SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) On January 22, 2009, President Obama signed Executive
Order 13492, requiring the detention facilities at the
Guantanamo Bay Naval Base (Guantanamo) to be closed ''as soon
as practicable'', but not later than one year from the date of
the order.
(2) A task force of United States Government agencies,
including the Departments of Homeland Security, Defense, State,
and Justice and the Central Intelligence Agency and the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, has reportedly concluded that large
numbers of the detainees held at the United States military
facility at Guantanamo pose a severe and permanent threat
United States national security and thus should be held
indefinitely without trial under the laws of war.
(3) Despite this conclusion by United States national
security and intelligence agencies, the Obama Administration
continues to plan for additional transfers of detainees to
other countries.
(4) According to a report by the Government Accountability
Office, as of March 2009, the principal ''rehabilitation
center'' in Saudi Arabia used to rehabilitate 250 former
Guantanamo detainees in order to prevent such detainees from
resuming their war on the United States had a recidivism rate
of 20 percent.
(5) In July 2007, a Department of Defense spokesman stated
that, ''Our reports indicate that at least 30 former Guantanamo
detainees have taken part in anti-coalition militant activities
after leaving United States detention. Some have been killed in
combat in Afghanistan and Pakistan.''. According to the
Department of Defense, the recidivism rate of all former
Guantanamo detainees was 14 percent in May 2009.
(6) In some instances, countries and organizations have
expressed strong reluctance to accept any or additional former
Guantanamo detainees, citing security as their primary concern,
such as:
(A) Australia: ''Assessing those requests from a
case-by-case basis, they had not met our stringent
national security and immigration criteria and have
been rejected.'', stated Julia Gillard, Acting
Australian Prime Minister, on January 3, 2009.
(B) Hungary: ''Hungary is likely to take one or two
former detainees provided they get the green light from
parliament after a national security check-up. . . . We
are going to study each case, taking the safety of
Hungary and of Hungarians as our first priority.'',
announced Hungarian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman
Zsuzsanna Matrai on June 19, 2009.
(C) Switzerland: On January 12, 2010, in a 15-10
vote, a Swiss Parliamentary Security Committee voted
against accepting any more detainees from Guantanamo,
citing ''heightened'' security concerns due to the
Christmas Detroit bombing attempt.
(D) European Parliament: ''Many of the detainees,
for example, who went to Afghanistan after September
11, [2001,] have attended training camps for
terrorists. And those who did so were no tourists
wanting to admire the beauty of the country, but remain
potential terrorists.'', stated Harthmuth Nassauer, a
German member of the European Parliament, on February
4, 2009.

SEC. 2. PROHIBITION ON USE OF FUNDS FOR TRANSFER OR RELEASE OF
