AUSTIN - In light of President Obama's intent to close the terrorist detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Congressman Michael McCaul has co-sponsored H.R. 630, the Enemy Combatant Detention Review Act, to prevent the relocation of any of its detainees to the United States.

“Today we set aside our political differences.
"True champions overcome adversity to achieve success.

I am proud of Coach Gary Joseph and his fine players. And I am equally proud that Congressional District 10 can claim yet another state football championship. Go Tigers!"
