       (1) Arab Americans, Muslim Americans, and Americans from 
     South Asia play a vital role in our Nation and are entitled 
     to nothing less than the full rights of every American.
       (2) The acts of violence that have been taken against Arab 
     and Muslim Americans since the September 11, 2001, attacks 
     against the United States should be and are condemned by all 
     Americans who value freedom.

     is sacrosanct in American society, and applies equally to all 
     religious, racial, and ethnic groups.
       (4) When American citizens commit acts of violence against 
     those who are, or are perceived to be, of Arab or Muslim 
     descent, they should be punished to the full extent of the 
     law.
       (5) Muslim Americans have become so fearful of harassment 
     that many Muslim women are changing the way they dress to 
     avoid becoming targets.
       (6) Many Arab Americans and Muslim Americans have acted 
     heroically during the attacks on the United States, including 
     Mohammed Salman Hamdani, a 23-year-old New Yorker of 
     Pakistani descent, who is believed to have gone to the World 
     Trade Center to offer rescue assistance and is now missing.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the civil rights and civil liberties of all Americans, 
     including Arab Americans, Muslim Americans, and Americans 
     from South Asia, must be protected, and that every effort 
     must be taken to preserve their safety;
       (2) any acts of violence or discrimination against any 
     Americans be condemned; and

     of fellow citizens from all ethnic, racial, and religious 
     backgrounds.

                   HISTORY RECORDS OF VISA APPLICANTS AND 
                   APPLICANTS FOR ADMISSION TO THE UNITED STATES.

       (a) Amendment of the Immigration and Nationality Act.--
     Section 105 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C.

       (1) in the section heading, by inserting "; data 
     exchange" after "security officers";
       (2) by inserting "(a)" after "Sec. 105.";
       (3) in subsection (a), by inserting "and border" after 
     "internal" the second place it appears; and
       (4) by adding at the end the following:
       "(b)(1) The Attorney General and the Director of the 
     Federal Bureau of Investigation shall provide the Department 
     of State and the Service access to the criminal history 
     record information contained in the National Crime 
     Information Center's Interstate Identification Index (NCIC-
     III), Wanted Persons File, and to any other files maintained 
     by the National Crime Information Center that may be mutually 
     agreed upon by the Attorney General and the agency receiving 
     the access, for the purpose of determining whether or not a 
     visa applicant or applicant for admission has a criminal 
     history record indexed in any such file.
       "(2) Such access shall be provided by means of extracts of 
     the records for placement in the automated visa lookout or 
     other appropriate database, and shall be provided without any 
     fee or charge.
       "(3) The Federal Bureau of Investigation shall provide 
     periodic updates of the extracts at intervals mutually agreed 
     upon with the agency receiving the access. Upon receipt of 
     such updated extracts, the receiving agency shall make 
     corresponding updates to its database and destroy previously 
     provided extracts.
       "(4) Access to an extract does not entitle the Department 
     of State to obtain the full content of the corresponding 
     automated criminal history record. To obtain the full content 
     of a criminal history record, the Department of State shall 
     submit the applicant's fingerprints and any appropriate 
     fingerprint processing fee authorized by law to the Criminal 
     Justice Information Services Division of the Federal Bureau 
     of Investigation.
       "(c) The provision of the extracts described in subsection 
     (b) may be reconsidered by the Attorney General and the 
     receiving agency upon the development and deployment of a 
     more cost-effective and efficient means of sharing the 
     information.
       "(d) For purposes of administering this section, the 
     Department of State shall, prior to receiving access to NCIC 
     data but not later than 4 months after the date of enactment 
     of this subsection, promulgate final regulations--
       "(1) to implement procedures for the taking of 
     fingerprints; and
       "(2) to establish the conditions for the use of the 
     information received from the Federal Bureau of 
     Investigation, in order--
       "(A) to limit the redissemination of such information;
       "(B) to ensure that such information is used solely to 
     determine whether or not to issue a visa to an alien or to 
     admit an alien to the United States;
       "(C) to ensure the security, confidentiality, and 
     destruction of such information; and
       "(D) to protect any privacy rights of individuals who are 
     subjects of such information.".
       (b) Reporting Requirement.--Not later than 2 years after 
     the date of enactment of this Act, the Attorney General and 
     the Secretary of State jointly shall report to Congress on 
     the implementation of the amendments made by this section.
       (c) Technology Standard to Confirm Identity.--
       (1) In General.--The Attorney General and the Secretary of 
     State jointly, through the National Institute of Standards 
     and Technology (NIST), and in consultation with the Secretary

     State deems appropriate, shall within 2 years after the date 
     of enactment of this section, develop and certify a 
     technology standard that can confirm the identity of a person 
     applying for a United States visa or such person seeking to 
     enter the United States pursuant to a visa.
       (2) Integrated.--The technology standard developed pursuant 
     to paragraph (1), shall be the technological basis for a 
     cross-agency, cross-platform electronic system that is a 
     cost-effective, efficient, fully integrated means to share 
     law enforcement and intelligence information necessary to 
     confirm the identity of such persons applying for a United 
     States visa or such person seeking to enter the United States 
     pursuant to a visa.
       (3) Accessible.--The electronic system described in 
     paragraph (2), once implemented, shall be readily and easily 
     accessible to--
       (A) all consular officers responsible for the issuance of 
     visas;
       (B) all Federal inspection agents at all United States 
     border inspection points; and
       (C) all law enforcement and intelligence officers as 
     determined by regulation to be responsible for investigation 
     or identification of aliens admitted to the United States 
     pursuant to a visa.
       (4) Report.--Not later than 18 months after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, and every 2 years thereafter, the 
     Attorney General and the Secretary of State shall jointly, in

     Congress describing the development, implementation and 
     efficacy of the technology standard and electronic database 
     system described in this subsection.
       (d) Statutory Construction.--Nothing in this section, or in 
     any other law, shall be construed to limit the authority of 
     the Attorney General or the Director of the Federal Bureau of 
     Investigation to provide access to the criminal history 
     record information contained in the National Crime 
     Information Center's (NCIC) Interstate Identification Index 
     (NCIC-III), or to any other information maintained by the 
     NCIC, to any Federal agency or officer authorized to enforce

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. 
Sensenbrenner) and the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Scott) each will 
control 30 minutes of debate on the bill, as amended.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. 
Sensenbrenner).


                             General Leave

  Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all 
Members may have 5 legislative days within which to revise and extend 
their remarks, and to include extraneous material on H.R. 2975, the 
bill under consideration.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Wisconsin?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself 10 minutes.
  Mr. Speaker, on September 11, 2001, a war was started on United 
States soil. It was not a war we voluntarily entered. It was not a war 
we started. We were not given a choice. We were dragged into a war that 
day, a war on terrorism.
  Every day since September 11, we are reminded of these violent acts. 
The media reminds us daily with pictures of the missing, interviews 
with survivors, films of the many memorial services, and images of the 
massive destruction. We are constantly reminded that this is a war that 
is far from over. The rules of this war are vastly different from the 
wars that we have fought as a country in the past. We are uncertain who 
the enemy is. We are uncertain where the enemy is. We are more 
uncertain than ever before when and what the next move of the enemy 
will be.
  Because of this uncertainty, we have had to change the way that we 
think about the safety and security of our country and its people. We 
must develop new weapons for protection against this new kind of war.
  It is this new approach to safety and security that has required us 
to take action today. This bipartisan legislation will give law 
enforcement new weapons to fight this new kind of war. Terrorists have 
weapons that law enforcement cannot protect against right now. 
Technology has made extraordinary advances; but with these advances in 
the wrong hands, we are more vulnerable to attacks.
  Indeed, it cannot be denied that law enforcement tools created 
decades ago were crafted for rotary telephones, not e-mail, the 
Internet, mobile communications, and voice mail. Thus, this 
legislation, like the previous Committee on the Judiciary version and 
Senate 1510, modernizes surveillance capabilities by ensuring that pen 
register and trap and trace court orders apply to new technologies, 
such as the Internet, and can be executed in multiple jurisdictions 
anywhere in the United States.
  Criminal provisions dealing with stored electronic communications 
will be updated to allow law enforcement to seize stored voice-mail 
messages the same way they can seize a taped answering machine message. 
Additionally, under this bill, a court may authorize a pen register or 
trap/trace order that follows the person from cell phone to cell phone 
rather than requiring law enforcement to return to court every time the 
person switches cell phones. The bill, consistent with our 
constitutional system of government, still requires a judge to approve 
wiretaps, search warrants, pen registers, and trap/trace devices.
  Like the Committee on the Judiciary reported bill, this new bill 
continues to provide for nationwide service of warrants for electronic 
evidence, such as content of e-mails, and search warrants for 
terrorism. Current rules require that a search warrant be issued from 
the judicial district in which the property to be searched is located. 
The bill would change this to permit the prosecutor to go to the judge 
in the district overseeing the investigation to issue the warrant, and 
in the case for search warrants for terrorism offenses, in any district 
in which activities related to terrorism occurred. This will save 
valuable time.

[[Page H6759]]

  It is clearly within the public interest and the Federal Government's 
mandate to keep out of the United States persons who are intent on 
inciting or engaging in terrorist activities. This bill furthers that 
goal by expanding the definitions related to terrorist organizations. 
Under current law, unless otherwise specified, an alien is inadmissible 
and deportable for engaging in terrorist activities only when the alien 
has used explosives or firearms. This act eliminates that limitation so 
that any terrorist who has used any object, including a knife, a box-
cutter, or an airplane, would be inadmissable and deportable.

  Under the current regulatory regime, the INS can detain an alien for 
48 hours before making a decision as to charging the alien with a crime 
or removable offense. The INS uses this time to establish an alien's 
true identity, to check foreign and domestic databases for information 
about the alien, and to liaise with law enforcement agencies.
  This act extends that time period to 7 days so that the INS is not 
forced to release a terrorist simply because it has not had adequate 
time to do a thorough investigation.
  The substantive criminal law statutes are also toughened in order to 
treat crimes of terrorism with the same level of importance as the most 
serious crimes in our country. Some of these new provisions include no 
statutes of limitations for the most serious crimes of terrorism, 
allowing a judge to sentence a terrorist to prison for any number of 
years up to life for any offense that is defined as a "Federal 
terrorism offense," and subjecting persons convicted of conspiracy to 
commit terrorism to the same penalties as those who actually commit the 
offense. Any person convicted of a terrorism offense will now be under 
supervision for as long as the court determines is necessary, including 
up to life.
  The act also expands the definition of support for terrorism for 
which a person can be prosecuted to include providing expert advice to 
terrorists and harboring or concealing a suspected terrorist.
  This new bill also continues the compromise language between current 
law and the administration's initial proposal for the showing needed 
for FISA, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, investigations 
using wiretaps. Current FISA law requires that in order to obtain a 
FISA wiretap, the Attorney General must certify that the gathering of 
foreign intelligence is the purpose or a primary purpose of the 
investigation.
  The administration draft wanted to change this to only require a 
certification that it was a purpose. This bill requires the Attorney 
General must certify that it is a significant purpose.
  Furthermore, this bill, like the Committee on the Judiciary reported 
bill, provides for roving wiretaps for FISA investigations. Currently 
under FISA, the government must identify and get a separate order for 
each phone to be tapped. This provision allows the government to make a 
showing to a court that the target is changing phones to thwart the 
tap, and to allow the court to authorize taps of any phones which the 
target may use. This provision is consistent with current criminal law.
  Importantly, the bill does not do anything to take away the freedoms 
of innocent citizens. Of course we all recognize that the fourth 
amendment to the Constitution prevents the government from conducting 
unreasonable searches and seizures, and that is why this legislation 
does not change the United States Constitution or the rights guaranteed 
to citizens of this country under the Bill of Rights.
  We should keep in mind that the Preamble to the Constitution states 
that it was ordained to establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, 
provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and to 
secure the blessings of liberty.
  Well, let me say, on September 11, our common defense was penetrated, 
and America's tranquility, welfare, and liberty were ruthlessly 
attacked. I urge the Members of this body to stand united together in 
recognition of the important purpose we must serve in preventing 
terrorist attacks in the future and prosecuting those who have already 
attacked us.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to say a little bit about the road this 
legislation has traveled on the way to the floor today. The road was 
relatively short, but certainly not without its twists and turns. Along 
the way, the legislation has been the subject of intense negotiation 
between House Republicans and Democrats, the administration, Members 
from the other body, and our leaders here in the House. After a 36 to 
nothing markup in the House Committee on the Judiciary last week and 
the introduction of a bipartisan antiterrorism bill in the other body, 
we were faced with trying to reconcile two different bipartisan bills, 
one of which garnered stronger support by the administration.
  However, our goal remains clear, to quickly come to agreement on 
legislation that will provide our law enforcement and intelligence 
officials with new tools necessary to more effectively battle terrorism 
and other crimes.

                              {time}  1430

  The bill before us now makes several changes to the bill passed by 
the other body last night, although most core provisions are very 
similar or are identical to the bill reported by the Committee on the 
Judiciary last week. Indeed, S. 1510 incorporated many of our 
committee's provisions. Most importantly, this bill preserves a sunset 
over many provisions of the bill. It is longer than the 2-year sunset 
contained in the bill passed by the Committee on the Judiciary; but, 
nonetheless, I believe it does the trick. It should keep the Department 
of Justice in line while providing Congress the opportunity to conduct 
effective oversight over the implementation and use of these new law 
enforcement authorities.
  Mr. Speaker, this has not been the ideal process, and the legislation 
before us now does not represent a perfect compromise. However, the 
work of the House Committee on the Judiciary over the past 3 weeks has 
greatly improved upon the original Justice Department proposal. I 
believe it now responsibly addresses many of the shortcomings of the 
current law and improves law enforcement's ability to prevent future 
terrorism activities and the preliminary crimes which further such 
activities while preserving the civil rights of our citizens.
  I urge my colleagues to support this bipartisan effort.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Nethercutt). Without objection, the 
gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Conyers) is recognized to control the 
time.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. CONYERS. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to begin our discussion by 
yielding 3 minutes to the distinguished gentleman from North Carolina 
(Mr. Watt).
  Mr. WATT of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, like every American citizen, 
the emotions that we as Members of Congress and I personally have gone 
through over the last 31 days since September 11 have spanned the whole 
course.
  As I saw the buildings crash in New York, I wondered whether the 
terrorists would prevail, only to see the firefighters and police 
officers and rescue workers spring to their work, lift their shoulders, 
observe my colleagues on the steps of the House of Representatives that 
evening singing "God Bless America" and raise my head and say, we 
will prevail over them.
  When I heard the Attorney General come and say we had to pass an 
antiterrorism bill in 2 days following that, I wondered whether the 
terrorists would prevail. And the admiration that I had for our 
committee chairman, the gentleman from Wisconsin, and the ranking 
member of our committee as they stood and said, we cannot do this in 
the heat of passion, we must honor the constitutional requirements, 
caused me to raise my head and say, we will prevail.
  When I saw the incidents around the country of attacks on Arabs and 
Muslim mosques, I wondered whether the terrorists would succeed. And 
with pride I saw my President spring and say, "We cannot tolerate this 
kind of attack on our people," and I raised my head with pride.
  On the floor of this House, I saw Secretary Colin Powell and 
Secretary Rumsfeld come and brief us and say that we are approaching 
this methodically; and I raised my head with pride and said, we will 
prevail.
  Today, we have another test in this House to determine whether we 
will

[[Page H6760]]

stand strong in support of our constitutional rights and be able at the 
end of this debate to raise our heads with pride and not to cower to 
the terrorists and give away the constitutional rights that our 
Founding Fathers have given to us.
  This bill in my estimation goes too far in giving away those rights. 
I ask my colleagues to consider carefully the provisions of this bill 
and its implications for whether we prevail in our fight against 
terrorism.
  Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, I yield such time as he may consume 
to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Smith).
  (Mr. SMITH of Texas asked and was given permission to revise and 
extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SMITH of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I thank the chairman of the 
Committee on the Judiciary for yielding time.
  Mr. Speaker, as chairman of the Subcommittee on Crime, I support this 
legislation.
  Security is valued, yet it is often unappreciated until taken away. 
What happened on September 11, 2001, has made us feel like we lost our 
sense of security. It doesn't have to be that way.
  We are united like never before, resolved to defeat terrorism and 
protect American lives. We seek a return to "normal," although the 
word normal takes on a new meaning now. Law enforcement officials need 
all the necessary tools to confront the daunting tasks ahead. The 
administration initially offered a strong antiterrorism bill that would 
have helped bring terrorists to justice. The Attorney General asked for 
measures he believed would reduce the threat of terrorist attacks. 
Unfortunately, some in the administration disregarded the public 
mandate for increased safety and agreed to weaken the bill.
  However, the legislation does make improvements in current law.
  Intelligence Gathering--The bill expands law enforcement's ability to 
obtain wiretaps and "trap and trace" authority, which is a method 
used to identify the origin of a message. (This component was added 
from legislation I had previously introduced.)
  Criminal Justice--The bill expedites court proceedings and increases 
penalties related to terrorism.
  Financial Infrastructure--The bill expands the law to allow seizure 
of assets of terrorist organizations.
  Information Sharing--The bill promotes interagency cooperation so 
that data is shared among agencies and used to its fullest extent.
  Border Security--The bill authorizes additional funds to the INS for 
purposes of making improvements in technology for monitoring both the 
northern and southern borders and triples the number of Border Patrol 
personnel in each state along the northern border.
  It is critically important to implement solutions to combat the 
threats to America. This antiterrorism legislation reduces our 
vulnerability to terrorist attacks, though it should have done more.
  Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman 
from Illinois (Mr. Hyde), the distinguished chairman emeritus of the 
Committee on the Judiciary.
  Mr. HYDE. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Wisconsin for 
yielding time; and I want, before I launch into my remarks, to 
congratulate him and the gentleman from Michigan for a thoroughly 
professional, workmanlike job in shepherding this complicated bill 
through the committee. They came out with a wonderful work product 
despite all of the difficulties and pressures and anxieties. I am very 
proud of both of them as Members of the House.
  I do support this bill, but I am disappointed that the process by 
which it came to the floor has resulted in the omission of a number of 
antiterrorism measures that are important to the Committee on 
International Relations and of personal interest to me. In saying this, 
I direct no criticism to my colleagues on the Committee on the 
Judiciary. To the contrary, throughout this process there has been 
excellent cooperation between the Committee on International Relations 
and the Committee on the Judiciary and between the gentleman from 
Wisconsin (Mr. Sensenbrenner), the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. 
Conyers), the gentleman from California (Mr. Lantos), and myself. I 
especially want to commend the gentleman from California for his 
patient efforts to work with us and for the bipartisan spirit in which 
he approached this project.
  We did not mark up this legislation within the Committee on 
International Relations, even though we had jurisdiction to do so. 
Instead, the gentleman from California and I jointly filed an amendment 
with the Committee on Rules seeking to add provisions to the bill that 
we believe would have been approved by our committee had we marked up 
the measure. Our amendment included provisions designed to improve U.S. 
monitoring of foreign terrorist organizations and of foreign countries 
that provide direct or indirect support to such organizations. 
Regrettably, the rule has not made our amendment in order.
  In addition, our committee on a bipartisan basis proposed a number of 
refinements to provisions within our jurisdiction that were requested 
by the administration. These refinements were largely technical in 
nature, relating to such matters as the vesting of foreign assets under 
the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and the sharing of U.S. 
visa information with foreign governments. But they were important to 
us, and we were pleased that the Committee on the Judiciary agreed to 
include them in their version of this bill. Regrettably, these 
refinements have also been left out of the bill now before us.
  Finally, the version of this bill that was approved by the Committee 
on the Judiciary included three amendments offered by me relating to 
money laundering, counternarcotics training in Central Asia and other 
matters. All three of these amendments were omitted from H.R. 3108.
  I know the gentleman from California joins me in saying that the bill 
before us is much weaker than it would have been had it included the 
proposals we developed. I hope to work with him to correct this through 
separate legislation that we can move quickly through the Committee on 
International Relations. I hope our colleagues on the Committee on the 
Judiciary will work with us to expedite our efforts.
  Again, I congratulate the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. 
Sensenbrenner), the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Conyers), and the 
gentleman from California (Mr. Lantos).
  Mr. CONYERS. Mr. Speaker, no one has worked with more energy and 
thoughtfulness than the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Scott) to whom I 
yield 2 minutes.
  Mr. SCOTT. Mr. Speaker, there are a lot of provisions of this bill 
that ought to cause concern. One is the wiretap provision, because we 
have changed several provisions which, taken together, represent a 
fundamental attack on principles of privacy.
  One change we made is to allow Federal investigators to share 
information from intelligence-gathering and criminal investigation. 
That is important because under foreign intelligence gathering, the 
standard is intelligence gathering. For the crime, you need probable 
cause that a crime has been committed. Since they cannot share, this 
has never been a problem. But now that we are allowing them to share 
information, you could essentially conduct a criminal investigation 
using the FISA standard.
  We also then reduced the standard under foreign intelligence wiretap. 
It used to be that it had to be the primary purpose of the wiretap. 
Under this bill, it can be a significant purpose. Obviously not the 
primary purpose. And what is the primary purpose? If it is criminal 
investigation, then you ought to have had probable cause to get the 
warrant; and if you do not have probable cause, that is not the way we 
ought to be investigating crimes.
  Third, we have this roving wiretap where you can assign the wiretap 
to the person and the wiretap follows the person. That means that 
wherever the person goes, whatever phone that the person uses, you can 
tap that phone, neighbors, pay phones, anybody else; and therefore you 
have a situation where innocent people who may also be using that phone 
will have their conversations listened in on. I will note that this is 
not limited to terrorism, and it is not even limited to criminal 
activity.
  The language in this bill needs improvement. That is why we at least 
insisted on a short sunset that has been expanded to a full 5 years. We 
need time to reconsider and draft legislation without the rush that 
this bill has been subjected to. We need to make sure that we have a 
bill that we can be proud of. The Committee on the Judiciary had a 
bill; we ought to go back to that bill. But we ought to be concerned

[[Page H6761]]

about the wiretap provisions under this legislation.
  Mr. CONYERS. Mr. Speaker, one of the most thoughtful members of our 
committee and of the Congress is the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. 
Frank) to whom I yield 2 minutes.
  Mr. FRANK. Mr. Speaker, we recognize that the chairman of the full 
committee tried hard to preserve some of our process; but powers 
beyond, it seem to me, his control have given us the least democratic 
process for debating questions fundamental to democracy I have ever 
seen.
  But I want to get to substance while continuing to deplore this 
outrageous and unfair procedure whereby the product that we voted on in 
committee cannot even be offered. No amendments. No amendments.
  But I want to explain what the substantive problem is. What we 
decided to do in committee, correctly, was to give to the law 
enforcement officials all the expanded powers they asked for, because 
we want to be protected. And electronic evolution requires an evolution 
in the powers. But we simultaneously tried to put into effect a full 
set of safeguards to minimize the chance that human beings, fallible 
ones, would abuse the powers.
  The problem is that the bill before us today preserves the fullness 
of the powers, but substantially weakens the safeguards against the 
misuse of the powers. The major safeguard was the sunset. Knowing that 
within 2 years they would have to come back for a renewal of these 
powers was the best way to build into the bureaucracy respect and avoid 
abuse. A 5-year sunset greatly diminishes that. They can figure, hey, 
we have got a couple of years and if we come in in the fifth year and 
we can say, Well, there weren't any problems lately, that is one thing.
  This bill may well not, in fact, be the final bill. It could go to 
conference with the Senate, which has no sunset at all and that sunset 
may recede into the sunset. We also created an Assistant Inspector 
General and called it an Assistant Inspector General for the purposes 
of trying to monitor this. That office has been downgraded.
  We are trying to do something very delicate. We are trying to empower 
law enforcement and simultaneously put constraints on them. A bill that 
gives the full powers and weakens the constraints is an inadequate 
bill.
  Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman 
from Virginia (Mr. Goodlatte).
  Mr. GOODLATTE. Mr. Speaker, I thank the chairman for his hard work on 
this legislation, as well as the ranking member.
  If I might ask the chairman, it is my understanding from committee 
staff that the report language which was very important in the way the 
committee crafted this legislation in clarifying certain points, that 
the rule is written so that that report language will be incorporated 
into the final product that will be reported from the House.
  Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. GOODLATTE. I yield to the gentleman from Wisconsin.
  Mr. SENSENBRENNER. The gentleman is correct. The report will follow 
this bill.

                              {time}  1445

  Mr. GOODLATTE. Mr. Speaker, reclaiming my time, the recent attacks on 
the World Trade Center and the Pentagon have permanently changed 
America. September 11, 2001, was the clarion call to arms in a new war 
against terrorism. Our law enforcement operatives will need new tools 
to fight this war, and Congress must respond.
  The world we live in since September 11 will require us to be more 
patient, to be more careful, and to tolerate more inconveniences. 
However, we must be careful not to trade our personal freedoms for the 
promise of security. Once we have sacrificed the civil liberties that 
our Nation was founded on, then and only then have we allowed terrorism 
to defeat us.
  I would like to commend the gentleman from Wisconsin (Chairman 
Sensenbrenner) and the other members of the committee for their 
dedication to crafting a bipartisan bill that will give law enforcement 
the tools it needs to fight a war on terrorism while still protecting 
the civil liberties of Americans.
  The bill was unanimously passed out of the Committee on the Judiciary 
and is a product of much deliberation and compromise. While not 
perfect, it achieves a difficult balance between providing law 
enforcement with the tools it needs to wage an effective war against 
terrorism and the protection of American's civil liberties.
  The version that has been brought to the floor of the House does not 
contain everything that I would like it to contain that was in the 
Committee on the Judiciary version, but it is still a strong and solid 
bill; and I commend the chairman and the ranking member for their work 
to incorporate as much of the committee's language into this final 
product as possible.
  I urge Members to support this legislation.
  The recent attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon have 
permanently changed America. September 11, 2001 was the clarion call to 
arms in a new war against terrorism. Our law enforcement operatives 
will need new tools to fight this war and Congress must respond.
  The world that we live in since September 11th will require us to be 
more patient, to be more careful and to tolerate more inconveniences. 
However, we must be careful not to trade our personal freedoms for the 
promise of security. Once we have sacrificed the civil liberties that 
our Nation was founded on, then and only then have we allowed terrorism 
to defeat us.
  I would like to commend Chairman Sensenbrenner and Ranking Member 
Conyers for their dedication to crafting a bipartisan bill that would 
give law enforcement the tools it needs to fight a war on terrorism 
while still protecting the civil liberties of Americans.
  The bill that was unanimously passed out of the Judiciary Committee 
is the product of much deliberation and compromise. While not perfect, 
it achieves a difficult balance between providing law enforcement with 
the tools it needs to wage an effective war against terrorism and the 
protection of American's civil liberties.
  The PATRIOT Act clarifies that orders for the installation of pen 
register and trap and trace devices apply to a broad variety of 
communications technologies, including the Internet. An issue of 
particular concern to me that was raised during the crafting of the 
Judiciary-passed bill is the clarification that these devices may not 
capture content information.
  I commend the Chairman and Ranking Member for including statutory 
language in the Judiciary bill that makes this clarification. Language 
stating that these devices may not capture the contents of any 
communication is also included in the bill that is before us today.
  Mr. CONYERS. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from 
California (Ms. Lofgren), a thoughtful member of our committee that has 
worked on many of the important ideas that have helped shape our 
legislative product.
  Ms. LOFGREN. Mr. Speaker, I do have concerns about the measure before 
us; but before touching on those concerns, I would like to state here 
publicly the esteem I have for the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. 
Sensenbrenner), the chairman of the committee, as well as the gentleman 
from Michigan (Mr. Conyers), the ranking member. They have really 
conducted themselves in the very finest manner possible, and I am proud 
to be serving in this House with the two of them.
  We worked together on the Committee on the Judiciary understanding 
that we need to do everything we can to make sure that law enforcement 
has all the tools necessary to keep our country safe, and we came out 
with a good measure. It may not be a perfect measure. But there are 
risks inherent in some of the changes we made, and most particularly 
the changes made in the area of FISA that my colleague the gentleman 
from Virginia (Mr. Scott) basically mentioned.
  We are changing the way we deal with the fourth amendment, and we 
were prepared to do that in the Committee on the Judiciary, provided 
that we had a review. We had a 2-year sunset clause on that FISA 
section. Because we are on new ground here, we may be on thin ice; and 
we wanted to make sure that we force ourselves to review that provision 
so that the freedoms of Americans are not destroyed as we fight to 
destroy the terrorists. I am very concerned that the sunset provision 
relative to FISA and the fourth amendment has not been adhered to in 
this bill, and I feel obliged to mention that.
  Also, as the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Hyde) mentioned, we could 
have

[[Page H6762]]

had a much tougher bill. We could have given much greater authority in 
some areas, and we would have had a unanimous vote actually among the 
Committee on the Judiciary on this floor perhaps for some of those.
  So I have concerns, but I do very much honor the chairman and ranking 
member for their efforts.
  Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman 
from Tennessee (Mr. Bryant).
  Mr. BRYANT. Mr. Speaker, I thank the chairman for yielding me time.
  As we consider today the expansion of Federal law enforcement powers, 
I am reminded that as we redefine this often-delicate balance between 
our country's national defense and individual rights, we must be very 
careful.
  I have over the years, though, become convinced that some adjustments 
are needed to our criminal law. Given the significantly greater ability 
of the criminal, particularly the terrorists, to freely operate 
worldwide, and given the advancing technology of communications, simply 
put, the laws that we have are no longer adequate for the good guys to 
keep up with the bad guys. At this time I think it is very appropriate 
that the good guys get the edge once again.
  This PATRIOT bill, H.R. 2975, I believe is a balanced approach to our 
fight against terrorism. I believe it is an appropriate response to a 
very real problem. Neither our constitutional rights nor our 
fundamental rights of privacy are dismissed. Please keep in mind we are 
not waiving in any way or voiding the Constitution today. The 
provisions of this PATRIOT bill will undoubtedly be tested and must 
withstand challenge in a court of law. I believe they will meet the 
constitutional test.
  But for now, the ability of our law enforcement to uncover and ferret 
out, particularly acts of terrorism, these abilities are enhanced with 
this bill. Clearly this is needed. The Attorney General, the chief law 
enforcement officer on the Federal level in this country, has asked for 
this bill; and I believe it should be an effective one in preventing 
more tragic events like those that occurred September 11.
  I urge my colleagues to be in support of this bill.
  I close with a statement by Thomas Paine on another September 11, 
some 224 years ago, when he said, "Those who expect to reap the 
blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of 
supporting it."
  Mr. CONYERS. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
Idaho (Mr. Otter), whom I am inviting to speak out of order for a 
special reason.
  Mr. OTTER. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Michigan for this 
courtesy.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise as many others have already said today to 
congratulate the chairman of the committee and the ranking member for 
the great work and the great task which they undertook. However, Mr. 
Speaker, I cannot support this effort. I do support Governor Ridge, and 
I do support Attorney General Ashcroft and the President of the United 
States. However, Mr. Speaker, I feel like this bill goes way too far.
  Some of the provisions place more power in the hands of law 
enforcement than our Founding Fathers could have ever dreamt. 
Nationwide warrants and secret courts would have been familiar to the 
Founding Fathers, Mr. Speaker, because they fought against those very 
institutions when they fought the British.
  This bill promises security, but Americans need to be secure with 
their liberties. This bill promises safety, but Americans are only safe 
if they are free.
  Mr. Speaker, others have said it more eloquently than I. Patrick 
Henry, for instance, said it when he said, "I have but one lamp which 
guides my feet, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of 
judging the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to 
know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the 
last ten years to justify those hopes which gentlemen now today are 
pleased to solace themselves."
  John Stewart Mill said, "A people may prefer a free government, but 
if from indolence, or carelessness, or cowardice, or want of public 
spirit, they are unequal to the exertions necessary for preserving it; 
if they will not fight for it when it is directly attacked; if they can 
be deluded by the artifices used to cheat them out of their liberties; 
if by momentary discouragement or temporary panic or a fit of 
enthusiasm for an idea or an individual, they can be deluded to lay 
their liberties at the feet of even a great man, or trust him with 
powers which enable them to subvert their institutions, in all these 
cases they are more or less unfit for liberty."
  I urge my colleagues to listen to the voices of these patriots and 
reject the so-called "PATRIOT" Act. I support my President, I support 
law enforcement, but I also support the fundamental rights and 
liberties of the American people.
  I include the following for the Record.

  Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman 
from Florida (Mr. Keller).
  Mr. KELLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today as a supporter and original 
cosponsor of the PATRIOT anti-terrorism bill. This is a powerful piece 
of crime-fighting legislation. It gives the FBI additional tools to go 
after terrorists. It creates criminal penalties for people who harbor 
terrorists. At the same time, it respects the civil liberties of our 
citizens.
  Some people say it is not identical to the bill that came out of the 
Committee on the Judiciary, on which I serve. It may not be identical, 
but it is a good bill. Let us not allow the perfect to be the enemy of 
the good.
  Recently, President Bush told us that we should take our family on a 
vacation to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. I have the happy 
privilege of representing Orlando. Since we have a tourism-based 
economy, my district has been uniquely hurt by the tragic acts of 
September 11. Specifically, because people have been afraid to fly, 
theme park workers, convention workers hotel workers, and cab drivers 
have lost their jobs.
  It is critical to the people in Orlando and across the country that 
we pass this anti-terrorism bill to give our citizens a sense of 
confidence and security that our skies and country are going to be 
safer. I urge my colleagues to vote "yes" on this bill.
  Mr. CONYERS. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from 
California (Ms. Waters), who is a very effective member of the 
Committee on the Judiciary and who played a big role in our original 
work product.
  Ms. WATERS. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to this bill. 
This is a Senate bill that was voted out at 3 a.m. this morning. This 
bill is quite different than the bill passed by the House Committee on 
the Judiciary. Under the rules of the House, the Committee on the 
Judiciary's bill should have been heard on this floor and the 
differences between this bill and the House bill should have been 
worked out in a conference committee.
  Mr. Speaker, we had a bipartisan bill, and John Ashcroft destroyed 
it. The Attorney General has fired the first partisan shot since 
September 11.
  Mr. Speaker, both Democrats and Republicans worked hard to come up 
with a bipartisan bill. Attorney General John Ashcroft undermined the 
work of the Republican committee chairman, the gentleman from Wisconsin 
(Mr. Sensenbrenner), and the Democratic ranking member, the gentleman 
from Michigan (Mr. Conyers).
  Mr. Speaker, I serve on the Committee on the Judiciary. I consented 
to some policies I did not particularly

[[Page H6763]]

care for. For the good of the House I compromised. Some of the 
Republicans on that committee compromised also. We had a bipartisan 
bill.
  The bill before us today is a faulty and irresponsible piece of 
legislation that undermines our civil liberties and disregards the 
Constitution of the United States of America.
  This bill takes advantage of the trust that we have placed in this 
administration. Our law enforcement and intelligence community have all 
of the laws and all of the money that they need to do their job. Mr. 
Speaker, they failed us; and now this Attorney General is using this 
unfortunate situation to extract extraordinary powers to be used beyond 
dealing with terrorism, laws that he will place into the regular 
criminal justice system.
  The question to be answered today is can we have good intelligence 
and investigations and maintain our civil liberties? This bill says no. 
I say yes. Let us not give away our privacy. Let us not undermine our 
constitutional rights.
  The gentleman did not finish the quote by Patrick Henry. He said: 
"Give me liberty or give me death." I say the same today. Vote "no" 
on this bill.
  Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman 
from Utah (Mr. Cannon).
  Mr. CANNON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of today's version 
of the anti-terrorism legislation. It represents a significant 
improvement over both the draft administration legislation and the 
Senate version passed last night. The bill strikes an appropriate 
current balance between civil liberties and providing the Government 
with the tools needed to protect our Nation to win this war on 
terrorism.
  The process used to craft the bill could have been better, and I am 
disappointed in some aspects of the final product. In fact, we did 
better with the Committee on the Judiciary bill reported unanimously.
  I would like to thank the gentleman from Wisconsin (Chairman 
Sensenbrenner) and also the ranking member, the gentleman from Michigan 
(Mr. Conyers), who both, along with their staffs, worked very hard to 
keep key compromises in the legislation that is now before us.
  I know that the gentleman from Wisconsin (Chairman Sensenbrenner) 
fought tirelessly over the last few days to preserve our committee's 
consensus legislation, or many of the elements. Among the key elements, 
improvements which are made and preserved in today's bill, are a 5-year 
sunset for the bill's most difficult provisions; an explicit 
prohibition on capturing content information from electronic 
communications under pen register and trap-and-trace authorities; a no-
technology mandate that ensures communication providers cooperating 
with law enforcement do not have to bear needless burdens; immigration 
provisions that should prevent indefinite detention of innocent parties 
and provide relief to immigrant victims of the September 11 attack.
  However, many important changes added by the Committee on the 
Judiciary to fight terrorism and compensate victims were left on the 
cutting room floor last night. In particular, I added an amendment at 
markup to allow access to frozen assets of terrorist sponsor states for 
American victims after they obtained judgments from U.S. courts.

                              {time}  1500

  Unfortunately, today's views reflect the views of the State 
Department bureaucrats who insist on protecting the status quo, rather 
than helping the victims of state-sponsored terrorism. Justice for 
past, present, and future victims of state-sponsored terrorism may have 
to wait until another day. But this fight is not over. I intend to 
reintroduce that bill in the near future. I urge my colleagues to 
support this bill.
  Mr. CONYERS. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the very vital, 
thoughtful gentlewoman from Houston, Texas (Ms. Jackson-Lee), the 
ranking member of the Subcommittee on Immigration and Claims on the 
Committee on the Judiciary.
  (Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas asked and was given permission to revise 
and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, let me first of all 
acknowledge the work done by the chairman of this committee, the 
gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Sensenbrenner), and the gentleman from 
Michigan (Mr. Conyers). A lot has been made of the fact that there are 
two, two distinct views of our Constitution and maybe some of the 
issues, and maybe some views that are very much the same, worked 
harmoniously together, which overcome obstructions and presented a bill 
to this House. If we could have presented it, that would have made 
America proud.
  I stand with the Founding Fathers, although many of us were not 
created equal at that time. But Alexander Hamilton said there were 
various considerations that warn us against an excess of confidence or 
an excess of security.
  I would like to support this bill because I believe we must bring the 
terrorists to justice, and we had a bill that all of America could 
stand proud of: one that protected the Constitution, civil liberties, 
civil rights, and the Bill of Rights. What American will stand up and 
pledge allegiance to the flag, as we did today on this floor, and yet 
stomp on civil liberties? None of us.
  The legislation we have now does not allow those who are detained to 
appeal their case to the Supreme Court. The legislation we have now 
does not answer the problem of those who come into this country 
legally, with legal visas or visas that have been waived, and yet now 
do terroristic acts.
  Legislation that I would have offered in amendment would have 
provided an enhanced tracking system so that we could find out those 
who may have come in with vocational visas or student visas or foreign 
visas, and find them where they are.
  We realize that this is a country of great diversity, and we needed 
language in this bill that says that this is not an attack on Islam, 
the Islamic faith, Muslims, or any other faith, or any other ethnic 
group. This means that we will not target people unnecessarily. A 
person from my State, a doctor, was taken all the way to New York 
because of his turban, but yet he was found innocent.
  This is a bill we can do better on, America can do better. Let us 
stand on our constitutional principles, include hate crimes language in 
this. Mr. Speaker, this Nation can do better. I am proud to be an 
American, but today I want a bill that stands for what America believes 
in.
  Today, the House will answer the recent terrorist attacks against the 
United States and the world by passing, arguably, the most sweeping 
piece of law enforcement legislation of our lifetime. While the rules 
and procedures that have let to this legislation began fair and 
balanced, the recent process in the Senate, the House Rules Committee 
and the version before us today are at best deplorable.
  Having said that, the need for anti-terrorism legislation is great. 
Indeed, Alexander Hamilton, in Federalist No. 24 noted that "there are 
various considerations that warn us against an excess of confidence or 
security," not the least of which were and are today the constantly 
changing global political landscape and the fragility of our political 
ties abroad. Today, we must and will answer this warning.
  We must bring to justice the terrorists who targeted the passengers 
and crews of Flight 77, Flight 11, Flight 93, and Flight 175; those 
serving our great Nation at the Pentagon, both civilian and military, 
and the thousands of innocent civilians and rescue workers who were 
killed or injured at the World Trade Center and throughout New York 
City. These include: 4,815 people reported missing to the New York 
Police Department from the World Trade Centers, including the 157 
people on the two hijacked planes, 417 confirmed dead, and 366 bodies 
identified. In the Pentagon strike, 64 people have been confirmed dead 
on the hijacked plane and an additional 125 dead or missing. Lastly, in 
the Somerset County, Pennsylvania crash, 44 people have been confirmed 
dead. Our fallen brothers and sisters deserve the justice that each and 
every one of us in this room has the power to provide. And we will do 
it.
  Alexander Hamilton warned us in Federalist No. 25 that "it is a 
truth, which the experience of ages has attested, that the people are 
always most in danger when the means of injuring their rights are in 
the possession of those of whom they entertain the least suspicion." 
Today, despite the travesty of process that has befallen many of us in 
Congress, we must heed his warning. We must do so deliberately, with 
purpose and with surgical precision. Our goal must be to identify and 
correct the precise problems that exist under our current laws which 
hinder our investigatory and prosecutoral efforts. If, however, we act 
without such due precision, we risk loosing the

[[Page H6764]]

very freedoms, liberties, and constitutional tenants that are the 
foundation of this free society and all free societies around the 
world--due process, a presumption that people are innocent until proven 
guilty, the right to defend oneself and to confront the evidence 
against oneself, and the protections of judicial review. If we loose 
sight of these simple principles, we have truly lost this war to the 
extremists who seek our demise by any means.
  The bill before us today eviscerates the work of the House Judiciary 
Committee. Most members of that Committee would agree that this bill is 
far too sweeping and offensive to the civil liberties that we enjoy in 
this country. So while I commend my colleagues in Judiciary for helping 
to omit from the House version offensive provisions such as the 
provision which would have penalized innocent spouses and children of 
inadmissible aliens; the provision which would have provided a simple 
"reason to believe" evidentiary standard as a predicate to mandatory 
detention; and for tightening up the "guilt by association" section, 
I am outraged that our efforts were forsaken.
  As Ranking Member of the subcommittee on Immigration and Claims, I 
find several immigration provisions particularly offensive.
  1. Judicial Review.--Currently, the bill provides for a single 
judicial review process in the Federal District Court for the District 
of Columbia. This is unfairly burdensome, particularly to people with 
little money or resources. My amendment would have provided for such 
review in any Federal District Court.
  2. CIPRIS Program.--This program deals with acquiring information of 
exchange visitors, foreign students, and people admitteed on vocational 
visas. Currently it is a fee-based program. My amendment would have 
appropriated money for the program and would require that the program 
be implemented one year after the passage of this bill. It would have 
also required the Attorney General to share this information with the 
FBI and the State Department.

  3. Targeting (Racial Profiling).--We must study the effects of this 
bill in proliferating the deplorable process of racial profiling. To 
this end, my amendment would have amended Section 235(a)(3) of the INS 
with a new paragraph which states: The GAO shall conduct a study not 
later than 2004 to determine the extent to which immigration officers 
conducting inspections under 235 of the Immigration and Nationality Act 
are targeting individuals based on race, ethnicity and gender.
  4. Hate Crimes.--The backlash of the September 11, 2001 attacks have 
put American against American. Murders and attacks against citizens 
resembling Middle Easterners have occurred. Innocent people died 
because they looked like the Islamic extremists allegedly responsible 
for the September 11th tragedies. Now, more than ever, we need 
legislation to punish crimes motivated by hate against ethnicity, 
religion, and gender. These crimes cannot be tolerated. Under my 
amendment, a perpetrator who willfully commits a crime motivated by 
hate would have been imprisoned a minimum of 10 years or fined, or 
both; or imprisoned up to life and fined, or both, if the crime results 
in death, kidnapping, or aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt of any 
of these crimes.
  5. Sunset Title II.--Currently Title II which deals with detention 
and removal of aliens would allow for indefinite detention in some 
circumstances. My amendment would have sunset this after a period of 
five years after enactment which would preserve the authority of the 
Attorney General under Title II. This would have also provided a safety 
net that would enable Congress to review the manner in which the 
Department of Justice carries out the awesome powers we are giving it.
  6. Information Sharing.--Currently, there is a disconnect between the 
INS and consular officers abroad. My amendment would have directed the 
Attorney General to ensure that the INS acquires the requisite 
information technology necessary to permit such consular officer to use 
such information for immigration enforcement purposes.
  These improvements in the bill would have recognized the importance 
of a fair and just legal process for all Americans and for all of our 
guests.
  These acts of terrorism targeted, not merely Americans, but rather, 
they targeted men, women, and children from around the world, killing 
hundreds from Britain, more than 130 Israelis, more than 250 from 
India, and scores of others from El Salvador, Iran, Mexico, Japan and 
elsewhere. Indeed, these were attacks against all people, and against 
all humanity. As such, the legislation and the issues before the House 
today concerns not only this great Nation's security today, but will 
have a profound effect on children, and freedom-loving people around 
the world for generations to come.
  So while many of us deplore the process that has befallen us, as 
Members of Congress, we are united and determined to give our law 
enforcement agencies the tools and resources that they need to do the 
job; so that we may preserve the freedoms and liberties of all peoples; 
so we ensure that justice is delivered swiftly, deliberately, and 
without prejudice; and so that we may work towards a world free from 
terror, bigotry, and lawlessness.
  At the Pentagon services this past Wednesday the President assured us 
all that "[w]e will continue until justice is delivered." I hope that 
we may assure it by coming together once again as Members of Congress 
from both sides of the aisle and from around this great Nation.
  Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman 
from Wisconsin (Mr. Green).
  Mr. GREEN of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for 
yielding time to me.
  Let me begin by congratulating the chairman on the work product 
before us. Both he and the ranking member have done a wonderful job in 
getting us to this point today.
  Mr. Speaker, I stand today in strong support of this legislation. I 
believe that this legislation balances the need to move quickly with 
the need to move carefully.
  First, the need to move carefully. If we listen to the rhetoric from 
the other side, it sounds like we are making all these dramatic, broad 
changes in laws. In fact, what we are doing today primarily is 
modernizing our laws, helping law enforcement to deal with evolving 
technology and evolving threats.
  The good gentlewoman from California said a few moments ago that our 
law enforcement has all the tools, all the resources, and all the laws 
they need to protect us. I could not disagree more. I think September 
11 has proven to us very clearly that we need more resources and more 
tools for law enforcement and the Permanent Select Committee on 
Intelligence.
  The need to move carefully must be balanced with the need to move 
quickly. We have deployed forces. We have been threatened with a jihad. 
We are still cleaning up the debris of the World Trade Center and the 
Pentagon. We must move quickly. We must make sure that we are prepared, 
that we are safe, that this will never happen again.
  Debate is important; rhetoric is good. We should debate ideas. But 
there is also a time and place for action. Today is the time. This is 
the place for action. Let us get this done as quickly as we can now. 
Let us get this over to the Senate. Let us hope that they act quickly. 
Let us get this to the President's desk, and let us get these tools in 
the hands of law enforcement. They need it, and our citizens deserve no 
less.
  Mr. CONYERS. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2\1/2\ minutes to our esteemed 
colleague, the gentleman from New York (Mr. Nadler). When tragedy 
struck September 11, Mr. Speaker, it was in his district.
  (Mr. NADLER asked and was given permission to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, last year candidate George Bush pledged to 
seek repeal of the secret courts provision of the 1996 antiterrorism 
bill because he claimed to understand that the law was passed hastily 
and that this provision at least endangered civil liberties without 
contributing to national security.
  Now the President, the same George Bush, and the leadership of this 
House is insisting that we again enact hastily, and again in the name 
of national security and antiterrorism, act so hastily as probably to 
endanger our civil liberties without necessarily helping our security.
  The bill we passed in the Committee on the Judiciary was a balanced 
bill that would have enhanced our security without endangering our 
civil liberties. Now we have a 187-page bill with a lot of provisions 
in it.
  What I am about to say I hope is accurate, but I cannot be sure, 
because we have only had time to glance quickly through this bill. We 
have not had time to properly review it, to send it out to law schools, 
to send it out to civil libertarians to get comments back so we can 
make an intelligent judgment.
  We cannot wait until Tuesday. We passed out the bill from committee 
last week. We wasted a whole week, but now we cannot wait 3 days. We 
must rush to judgment on this bill.
  Let me give three provisions of this bill that look, to a hasty 
reading, dangerous.
  Section 203 says that "secret grand jury information can be shared 
without

[[Page H6765]]

a court order," upsetting all American legal tradition, "if notice is 
given to the court within a reasonable period after the sharing."
  But, of course, the whole point of the current law is that a court, 
not some FBI agent, should decide if secret grand jury information is 
appropriate for sharing with other agencies. Now the FBI agent decides 
it on his own and tells the court later, and the court has nothing to 
do except to say thanks for the information.
  Section 213 permits law enforcement to delay notification of search 
warrants in any criminal investigation. There may be justification for 
delaying notification of a search warrant sometimes, but in all 
criminal investigations? What does that have to do with terrorism?
  Finally, there is a provision in the bill that essentially allows the 
Attorney General, by stating he has reasonable grounds to believe that 
someone here who is not a citizen, that may be deportable, he has 7 
days to start deportation proceedings; but once he does, that person 
can stay in jail forever. He can sue under habeas corpus; but if the 
court then says, okay, you can keep him in jail, it is not reviewable 
again ever.
  So they can throw away the key and forget about him forever? Is that 
American justice, or is that the Count of Monte Cristo? We ought to 
review this bill carefully and not pass it today.
  Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman 
from Pennsylvania (Ms. Hart).
  Ms. HART. Mr. Speaker, we have listened to a lot of comments about 
additional measures people would like to see in this antiterrorism 
initiative. I believe that further discussions on this initiative and 
ways to crack down on terrorism will be constructive. We are certainly 
most interested in making our Nation safer.
  But as a member of the Committee on the Judiciary, I believe that we 
cannot delay the bill simply because it is not everything to everyone. 
To delay the bill is to fail to move forward, to fail to move forward 
on critical reforms, including giving local, State, and Federal law 
enforcement badly needed tools to fight terrorism and protect 
Americans.
  It would be a failure to move forward on updating our wiretap and 
surveillance laws to recollect the advances in technology that have 
changed how terrorists communicate and giving them an advantage. It 
would be a failure to move forward on allowing the sharing of criminal 
information within the intelligence community, coordinating our 
resources, and making it harder for terrorists to bury their tracks in 
bureaucratic red tape. It would also prevent us from making the simple 
but critical change that makes harboring terrorists a crime.
  Mr. Speaker, failure to support this bill today is to ignore these 
critical and urgently needed changes. I commend the chairman of the 
committee, and I commend my colleagues to support them.
  Mr. CONYERS. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to yield 2 minutes to the 
gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Dingell), the dean of the House.
  (Mr. DINGELL asked and was given permission to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. DINGELL. Mr. Speaker, we are considering under a very strange 
rule a very strange process which has resulted in a bill which is quite 
different than reported by the committee.
  I wanted to commend the distinguished chairman and the distinguished 
ranking member for the superb work which they did in crafting what I 
thought was a very fine bill. Somehow last night we found ourselves 
with a bill on our hands which is quite different than that which was 
presented to the House by the committee, after very thoughtful and 
careful work leading to an overwhelming bipartisan vote.
  What we are doing today is not considering just a few simple 
questions like expenditures of money. We are dealing today with basic 
constitutional rights. Ordinarily these are matters of the highest 
importance and are considered with great care under a rule, in an open 
process, because, after all, these are the things upon which Americans 
rely for their personal security and for their understanding that their 
rights are protected.
  All of a sudden sometime, probably last night, the Attorney General 
snuck up here to have a meeting. The result is that the bill suffered 
some extraordinary changes, all of which deal with the basic, 
fundamental rights of Americans in ways very different and probably 
much more unfavorably than did the committee bill.
  This is not the way. The United States is not so threatened that we 
have to throw away our rights without careful consideration, and that 
we have to disregard the careful and thoughtful and fine work done by 
the chairman, the committee, and by my distinguished friend, the 
ranking minority member.
  I find this a distressing process, one which reflects very poorly on 
the House--and one which indicates a great distrust and dislike for the 
work of the committee, which was superb--and for the basic fundamental 
liberties of the people of the United States.
  I find it denigrating basic constitutional rights, and I find it to 
have been done in a sneaky, dishonest fashion. It reflects very poorly 
on this body.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support for increasing security along 
our northern border. I would also like to commend the Judiciary 
Committee for the language in the bill it released that triples Border 
Patrol personnel and INS inspectors along our northern border. 
Unfortunately, I do not support the tactics used by the Republican 
leadership that has substituted an entirely different bill in place of 
the bipartisan House Judiciary Committee bill.
  Since September 11th, the heightened security levels have made us 
aware how understaffed we are along our northern border. This is a 
serious problem, it is unacceptable, and must be corrected in the short 
and long term. We must make sure that land, air, and seaports are 
adequately staffed across the nation. This must include our northern 
border.
  To our INS and Customs inspectors as well as our Border Patrol, I 
would like to commend them for their tireless efforts. Their efforts 
have helped greatly during the last month. However, with current 
staffing levels we are still encountering long lines at our ports of 
entry and continuing security concerns.
  In particular, trade has been seriously stifled with our Canadian 
neighbors. For several days following September 11th, there were up to 
14 hour waits to cross between Canada and Michigan. Lines are still 
long, as waits run into the hours. While this was understandable given 
the gravity of the situation immediately after the September 11th 
attacks, it is completely unacceptable that our economy has been placed 
at risk due to insufficient numbers of border personnel. Automobile 
plants needing parts have closed, and hospitals have been understaffed 
because their employees have been unable to cross our ports of entry in 
a timely fashion. These are just some of the reasons why our border 
requires more INS and Customs inspectors. Over 82 percent of goods 
originating in Michigan are exported to Canada via truck. 70 percent of 
Canada-U.S. trade and 80% of Ontario-U.S. trade, by value, moves by 
truck. The largest portion (38 percent) of Ontario's exports by road is 
destined for Michigan. Without optimum force levels of Customs and INS 
inspectors, the State of Michigan will continue to pay greatly for the 
loss in trade attributed to long lines at our ports of entry, both to 
and from Canada. In addition, the economies of our neighboring states 
and Canada will suffer.
  I will work with other committees and appropriations that are seeking 
to secure our northern border and ensure that adequate funding is given 
to INS and Customs for optimum force levels along our northern border. 
Failure to address problems along our northern border in a 
comprehensive manner jeopardizes our security and economy. I urge my 
colleagues to act expediently in providing a remedy for the serious 
shortfall of INS and Customs officials in Michigan.
  Mr. Speaker, using the regular committee process that has served us 
so well, we can protect the nation from terrorists in a swift and 
orderly fashion. I am not sure this kind of action protects the 
peoples' basic liberties. We can protect the Constitutional rights of 
our people from the whims of the attorney general, the Republican 
Administration, and the Republican leadership of this House. A bill, 
which would have achieved overwhelming support by the Congress, has 
been cast into question by this irregular process, and basic American 
liberties are being put into question. However, despite this egregious 
breach of House procedure, these border concerns are so great that I 
support the PATRIOT Act of 2001.
  Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished 
gentleman from Connecticut (Mr. Shays).
  Mr. SHAYS. Mr. Speaker, because I believe our country could face a 
chemical, biological, radioactive, or, heaven

[[Page H6766]]

forbid, nuclear attack by well-organized groups of fanatic terrorists, 
I rise in strong support of the PATRIOT Act. I believe this bill is 
necessary, and we have no time to waste.
  Mr. Speaker, in particular, I want to offer my praise for a section 
of this legislation designed to ensure the State Department has access 
to U.S. criminal databases before permitting aliens to enter the United 
States.
  Last year, the Government Reform Subcommittee on National Security, 
which I chair, began a series of meetings and briefings to discuss 
inter-agency data-sharing.
  On July 24th of this year, our Subcommittee held a hearing on Federal 
Interagency Data Sharing and National Security.
  That hearing taught us effective border security begins with our 
embassies, where U.S. visas are issued.
  Unfortunately, the State Department currently lacks the ability to 
access the FBI's National Criminal Information Center's Interstate 
Identification Index database.
  That means an alien can come into our country, commit a crime, leave, 
and get a reentry visa from our State Department or cross the border 
without being stopped.
  In 1996, the FBI and State Department issued a joint report 
recommending the State Department receive limited access to the NCIC-
III database so the State Department could better identify aliens with 
a criminal background in our country and prevent their entry.
  Nevertheless, for four years this report lay dormant while the 
Departments could not find a mutually agreeable way to institute their 
recommendations.
  This gap in data-sharing between Departments is no longer simply a 
matter of bureaucratic inertia, but a threat to national security.
  Mr. Speaker, protecting our borders against dispersed but deadly 
criminals and terrorists requires interagency cooperation on an 
unprecedented scale.
  This legislation is a step in the right direction. I'm pleased 
Attorney General John Ashcroft included this provision in the anti-
terrorism proposals he submitted to Congress, and I commend the 
Judiciary Committee for including it in the PATRIOT Act.
  Mr. CONYERS. Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to yield 2 minutes to 
the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Obey), the ranking member of the 
Committee on Appropriations.
  Mr. OBEY. Mr. Speaker, I have tremendous respect for the chairman of 
the Committee on the Judiciary, and I know he is trying his best; but I 
am highly distressed for one simple reason: I do not, and neither do 
most of the Members of this House, have any real idea about what is in 
this bill or what the consequences are. We know some of the rough 
outlines; we do not know the details.
  This House, under the Constitution, is essentially a political body. 
What makes it a legislative body is the committee system, because on 
the committees we have people who have built up years and years of 
expertise. The way this has become the greatest legislative body on the 
face of the Earth is because we have relied upon the expertise of 
people on the committees who spend their lives learning what they need 
to know in order to see that the House makes the right judgments.
  When the committee system is overridden, as is the case in this 
instance, and when bills instead are written by a few people in 
conjunction with House leadership, that turns a legislative body into 
nothing but a political body; and it means that in the end, virtually 
all of the decisions made are made on the basis of political power, not 
on the basis of intellectual persuasion.

                              {time}  1515

  That is a fundamental danger to a legitimate legislative body and 
certainly to the greatest legislative body in the world, it is a mortal 
blow.
  I do not know what the right vote is on this bill because I do not 
know the consequences. I do not know how much danger this bill will 
actually do to the terrorists. But I do know how much damage the way 
this bill is being considered by the House will do to this institution 
and none of that is because of any action taken by the gentleman from 
Wisconsin (Mr. Sensenbrenner).
  This House must operate on the basis of shared information and shared 
decision-making if it is to truly get through these trying days. This 
is a sorry day in the history of the House.
  Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself 1 minute.
  Mr. Speaker, none of the provisions in what we are considering today 
are new and a surprise. The base bill is the bill that was produced by 
the other body. That has been out there for over a week. There have 
been some modifications made to this bill in an attempt to avoid a 
conference. Many of the modifications were made at the request of the 
minority party in the House of Representatives.
  Now, I agree that this process is not an ideal process and this is 
not a perfect compromise, but there are a number of House provisions in 
this bill, none of which are a surprise that was written in the middle 
of the night. The bill does not violate the Constitution. It protects 
our vital fourth amendment rights; and with a clear and present danger 
facing our country, I believe it is imperative that we act 
expeditiously.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. 
Barr).
  Mr. BARR of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from 
Wisconsin (Mr. Sensenbrenner), the distinguished chairman of the 
Committee on the Judiciary, not only for yielding me time, but also for 
his very tremendous leadership on this most important of issues.
  The terrorist attacks on this Nation that occurred on September 11 
did not occur because of freedoms that we have in this country under 
our Constitution. They did not exist because our Constitution 
guarantees all of us the right to be free from unreasonable searches 
and seizures.
  The attacks that occurred on September 11 occurred because of a very 
unfortunate combination of bad luck on our part, good luck on the part 
of the terrorists, very careful planning on the part of the terrorist, 
very poor planning, perhaps, very poor execution on the part of some of 
our Federal, State, and local agencies.
  Therefore, I do not believe we ought to be in any rush to judgment to 
diminish our freedoms in the misguided conception that it is those 
freedoms that gave rise to the attacks on September 11. I commend the 
chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary and others who worked very 
hard to craft a very necessary and vitally important balance between 
giving law enforcement those narrowly crafted tools it needs and 
protecting the civil liberties, including the right to privacy, of 
American citizens.
  Is this a perfect bill? No, it is not a perfect bill, and I know the 
distinguished chairman would be the first to admit that. Is there much 
further work that needs to be done? Yes, there is much further work 
that needs to be done. I think that all of this means that it is 
absolutely imperative that we take very seriously the sunset provision 
in this bill that at least gives us an opportunity to evaluate how 
these important, momentous provisions that we are granting Federal law 
enforcement will be used.
  I also think it is important to realize that there were important 
concessions by the administration made in crafting this version of this 
bill. Am I happy with it? No, I do not think this is a happy piece of 
legislation. It is not a happy set of circumstances that brings us to 
the point where we have to consider amending our criminal laws and 
criminal procedures. But I do think on balance it is important to pass 
this piece of legislation, monitor it very carefully, and take 
seriously our responsibility to exercise the power that we are granting 
in the sunset provision.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Nethercutt). The gentleman from Michigan 
(Mr. Conyers) has 8\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from 
Wisconsin (Mr. Sensenbrenner) has 3\1/2\ minutes remaining.
  Mr. CONYERS. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, my colleagues and I need to do everything within our 
power to find the responsible persons and parties that have caused this 
attack on the United States and to bring them to justice and to end the 
blight of terrorism everywhere around the world. But at the same time 
we must all remember that just as this horrendous act could destroy us 
from without, it can also destroy us from within.
  Historically it has been at times of inflamed passion and national 
anger that our civil liberties have proven to be at greatest risk. The 
unpopular group of the moment happens to be subject to prejudice and 
deprivation of liberties.

  Alien and Sedition Acts in 1798 made it a Federal crime to criticize 
the government. At the beginning of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln, no 
less, suspended the writ of habeas corpus citing the need to repress an 
insurrection against the laws of the United States. Ulysses Grant 
sought to expel Jews from the Southern States of this Nation. World War 
II brought about the shameful internment of Japanese Americans which 
even the Supreme Court failed to overturn. And what about the McCarthy 
era of the 1950's? Guilt by association.
  So we face a situation now that requires care. Well, certainly we 
must update our counterterrorism laws so they reflect the 21st century 
realities. But new expansion of government authorities should be 
limited to properly defined terrorist activity or threats of terrorism. 
And with increased Federal power, we must ensure accountability and 
oversight. We also need to drastically improve airport security by 
increasing training and compensation for those that are at such an 
important point in our national transportation system.
  But by forcing us to take up a bill in this manner, the 
administration unfortunately has chosen to fire the first shots of 
partisanship after September 11. One week ago, the Committee on the 
Judiciary passed a bill 36 to 0, every member of every persuasion 
supported the bill that was worked on by the chairman, myself, and all 
the members. There was good process. There was ample debate. No one was 
cut off. No amendments were prevented. And in that environment, we 
agreed to sunset the expansion in government surveillance power that 
are in this bill to 2 years. It would have given the administration not 
only the emergency powers it requested on an expedited basis, but at 
the same time allow us in Congress to revisit the issue after 2 years. 
What is wrong with that? We sunset civil rights laws. We sunset 
environmental laws. We sunset labor laws.
  Well, I can only tell my colleagues that until last night we had a 
bill that, had we brought it to the floor, would have literally passed 
almost unanimously in this Congress. I do not think anyone disputes 
that. But now what we have nobody knows. So it seems to me that we have 
to move very, very carefully.
  We have a problem. There is no provision protecting our own citizens 
from CIA wiretaps under the FISA court. There is no provision ensuring 
the government does not introduce information in a court obtained from 
illegal e-mail wiretaps. There is no provision limiting the sharing of 
sensitive law enforcement information to inappropriate personnel.
  Guess what? There are 35,000 law enforcement jurisdictions in the 
United States of America. There is no provision protecting immigrants 
from being deported for donating money to humanitarian groups that they 
did not know might be financing terrorists. Most importantly of all, we 
have lost the 2-year sunset. What are we left with? A measure that is 
in no way limited to terrorism. It is a bill that provides broad new 
wire tap authorities that might be used to minor drug offenses, to 
firearm violations to anti-trust crimes, to tax violations, to 
environmental problems, literally to every single criminal offense in 
the United States code. So for all of us that know our history, we have 
been down this road before.
  All I am saying to you is that I am going to do the best that I can 
no matter what happens here today to make sure, with the gentleman from 
Wisconsin (Chairman Sensenbrenner), that we convince our own 
administration and, yes, our own House leadership to realize that this 
is not a time to compromise the Constitution. There is no reason for us 
to sacrifice civil rights to increase security.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman 
from Florida (Mr. Deutsch).
  Mr. DEUTSCH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the 
legislation. Maybe I am looking at it too simply, but I think maybe 
sometimes simple can really give us clear answers.
  We are at war. We are in a war right now, and the reality is that the 
bill as it passed out of the House really did not acknowledge that. 
There was some specific provisions in the bill only dealing with 
terrorism that the bill was passed out of the Committee on the 
Judiciary did not provide for that the bill in front of us does today. 
Specifically, the bill out of the Committee on the Judiciary did not 
allow classified information to be used against terrorists in courts in 
terms of property.
  The bill, as passed out of the Committee on the Judiciary, had a 
criminal standard that specifically, and I quote, has committed or is 
about to commit a terrorist act. Not as the bill now does, a standard 
reasonable grounds to believe that a person being harbored will commit 
a terrorist act. A significant difference.
  The bill passed out of the Committee on the Judiciary had a 
limitation on a grand jury sharing information on terrorist situations.
  We have a situation today that the downside of not uncovering 
terrorists potentially really are catastrophic, nuclear, biological, or 
even nuclear catastrophes. We need to pass the legislation to provide 
the tools to prevent that from happening.
  Mr. CONYERS. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the distinguished 
gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Kucinich).
  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, "My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of 
liberty, of thee I sing; land where my fathers died, land of the 
pilgrims' pride, from every mountainside let freedom ring." Let 
freedom ring in the ears of those who wants to still its sound. Let 
freedom ring even as we travel through the valley of the shadow of 
terrorism, for freedom is a sweeter melody.
  The terrorists have aimed their attack on the fundamental freedoms of 
all law-abiding Americans. They have attacked our right to life, to 
liberty, to pursuit of happiness, to freedom of association, freedom of 
mobility, freedom of assembly, and freedom from fear.
  Freedom is not just 50 States. Freedom is a state of mind. Freedom is 
our National anthem here in the land of the free and the home of the 
brave.
  Let freedom ring. If freedom is under attack from outside sources, 
then let us not permit an attack from within. It is an attack on 
freedom to let government come into the home of any American to conduct 
a search, to take pictures without notification. It is an attack on 
freedom to give the government broad wiretap authority. It is an attack 
on freedom to permit a secret grand jury to share information with 
other agencies. It is an attack on freedom to create laws which can 
endanger legitimate protests.
  Tens of thousands of men and women are getting ready to journey far 
from the shores of our Nation. They are being asked to defend some of 
the very rights this legislation would take away. Patriots are those 
who, in times of crisis, do not give up their liberties for any cause.
  "Long may our land be bright with freedom's holy light; protect us 
by thy might, great God, our King."

                              {time}  1530

  Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, I yield the balance of my time to the 
distinguished majority leader, the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Armey), to 
wrap this up.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Nethercutt). The majority leader is 
recognized for 2\1/2\ minutes.
  Mr. ARMEY. Mr. Speaker, let me begin by thanking the gentleman from 
Wisconsin for yielding me this time, and let me thank the gentleman 
from Wisconsin and, indeed, the gentleman from Michigan, and all the 
members of the committee for their hard, diligent work.
  It seems like only yesterday when the horrible, frightening tragic 
incident in New York, here at our Pentagon, and in the fields of 
Pennsylvania occurred. Just a few days afterwards, this Congress rose-
up and validated, confirmed, and affirmed our President as Commander in 
Chief and said, "We stand with you, Mr. President, with all the 
resources that you can muster. You are our Commander in Chief. Let us 
wage war on these terrorists and let us win that war."
  Since that time, we have responded to the national emergency with as 
much as 100 billion dollars, and we did so with a measure of ease. It 
was the right thing to do. We did it, and we did it together. Now we 
take on a more difficult task: How do we make all the agencies of the 
Government, in this

[[Page H6768]]

case, with this legislation 80 agencies of the Federal Government, from 
the CIA to the border patrol, more resourceful in intervening against 
terrorists while protecting the precious rights of the American people 
for which we fight in the first place? It is a difficult job, and one 
that was handled admirably by this committee.
  I have heard a lot of complaints about this bill as we find it today. 
People say we do not know what it is. Well, we know what the base bill 
is. We have known what was in the other body for a long time. Anyone 
who cared to do so could have done as I did last night, sit and watch 
the other body pass that bill. My colleagues could have watched the 
debate as I did. They could have heard the arguments and descriptions 
as I did. They could have watched.
  I want to point out that those of us who watched, those of us who 
have a heartfelt commitment to our liberties as American citizens, 
those of us that did might have enjoyed the other gentleman from 
Wisconsin, the distinguished Senator Feingold, as he valiantly fought 
for those committed to the liberties of the American people by 
repeatedly offering on the floor of the other body last night many of 
the provisions that this bill adds to that base bill. And, Mr. Speaker, 
it broke my heart to watch the distinguished gentleman from South 
Dakota, the Democratic Senate majority leader, move to table each of 
Senator Feingold's dearly protective amendments.


                             Point of Order

  Mr. OBEY. Point of order, Mr. Speaker.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will suspend.
  The gentleman from Texas (Mr. Armey) will refrain from characterizing 
the actions of Senators.
  Mr. OBEY. I thank the Chair.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman may proceed.
  Mr. ARMEY. Each and every one of those efforts was tabled in the 
other body. And this committee worked with the White House to restore 
those protections to the base bill so that we can achieve a proper 
balance, a balance that gives the resources to the agencies of this 
government to protect the American people while at the same time 
protects us from any trespass against our liberties.
  Mr. Speaker, I should point out the controversy that surrounds the 
sunset clause. I was there when the Democrat minority from the 
committee presented to the chairman of the committee their five 
requests for the final revisions of this effort; and I was there when 
we saw that the exact sunset language in this bill was proposed to the 
chairman just yesterday by the minority on that committee. It is good 
sunset language. It is necessary sunset language. It gives our agencies 
an opportunity to use these tools of investigation and surveillance, 
and us the opportunity to fulfill our responsibility to oversee that 
activity, to review it, and to choose to reauthorize or not. I am proud 
of that language, and I am proud of the minority for offering it.
  Bottom line is this, Mr. Speaker: as we started this effort, we knew 
something from historical experience. The world is replete with stories 
of strong governments who have maintained their own security by 
trespassing against the rights of even their own people. Strong 
governments can make themselves secure. We have seen that too many 
times. But we have known, the committee has known, this Congress knows 
and the White House knows that a good government makes the people 
secure while preserving their freedom. And that is what this bill is. 
That is why we should not only vote for it, but we should thank our 
lucky stars we are in a democracy where we have that right.
  Mr. PAUL. Mr. Speaker, the shocking attacks on the World Trade Center 
and the Pentagon have reminded us all that the primary responsibility 
of the federal government is to protect the security and liberty of our 
nation's citizens. Therefore, we must do what we can to enhance the 
ability of law enforcement to prevent future terrorist attacks. For 
example, the federal government can allow enhanced data-sharing among 
federal agencies that deal with terrorism. The federal government 
should also forbid residents of countries which sponsor terrorism from 
receiving student visas as well as prohibit residents of terrorist 
countries from participating in programs which provide special 
privileges to immigrants. In fact, I have introduced my own anti-
terrorism legislation, the Securing American Families Effectively 
(SAFE) Act, which strengthens the ability of law enforcement to track 
down and prosecute suspected terrorists as well as keep potential 
terrorists out of the country.
  There is also much the federal government can do under current 
existing law to fight terrorism. The combined annual budgets of the 
FBI, the CIA and various other security programs amount to over $30 
billion. Perhaps Congress should consider redirecting some of the money 
spent by intelligence agencies on matters of lower priority to 
counterrorism efforts. Since the tragic attacks, our officials have 
located and arrested hundreds of suspects, frozen millions of dollars 
of assets, and received authority to launch a military attack against 
the ring leaders in Afghanistan. It seems the war against terrorism has 
so far been carried our satisfactorily under current law.
  Still, there are areas where our laws could be strengthened with no 
loss of liberties, and I am pleased that HR 3108 appears to contain 
many common sense provisions designed to strengthen the government's 
ability to prevent terrorist attacks while preserving constitutional 
liberty.
  However, other provisions of this bill represent a major infringement 
of the American people's constitutional rights. I am afraid that if 
these provisions are signed into law, the American people will lose 
large parts of their liberty--maybe not today but over time, as 
agencies grow more comfortable exercising their new powers. My concerns 
are exacerbated by the fact that HR 3108 lacks many of the protections 
of civil liberties which the House Judiciary Committee worked to put 
into the version of the bill they considered. In fact, the process 
under which we are asked to consider this bill makes it nearly 
impossible to fulfill our constitutional responsibility to carefully 
consider measures which dramatically increase government's power.
  Many of the most constitutionally offensive measures in this bill are 
not limited to terrorist offenses, but apply to any criminal activity. 
In fact, some of the new police powers granted the government could be 
applied even to those engaging in peaceful protest against government 
policies. The bill as written defines terrorism as acts intended "to 
influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion." 
Under this broad definition, should a scuffle occur at an otherwise 
peaceful pro-life demonstration the sponsoring organization may become 
the target of a federal investigation for terrorism. We have seen 
abuses of law enforcement authority in the past to harass individuals 
or organizations with unpopular political views. I hope my colleagues 
consider that they may be handing a future administration tools to 
investigate pro-life or gun rights organizations on the grounds that 
fringe members of their movements advocate violence. It is an 
unfortunate reality that almost every political movement today, from 
gun rights to environmentalism, has a violent fringe.
  I am very disturbed by the provisions centralizing the power to issue 
writs of habeas corpus to federal courts located in the District of 
Columbia. Habeas corpus is one of the most powerful checks on 
government and anything which burdens the ability to exercise this 
right expands the potential for government abuses of liberty. I ask my 
colleagues to remember that in the centuries of experience with habeas 
corpus there is no evidence that it interferes with legitimate 
interests of law enforcement. HR 3108 also codifies one of the most 
common abuses of civil liberties in recent years by expanding the 
government's ability to seize property from citizens who have not yet 
been convicted of a crime under the circumvention of the Bill of Rights 
known as "asset forfeiture."
  Among other disturbing proposals, H.R. 3108 grants the President the 
authority to seize all the property of any foreign national that the 
President determines is involved in hostilities against the United 
States. Giving the executive branch discretionary authority to seize 
private property without due process violates the spirit, if not the 
letter, of the fifth amendment to the Constitution. Furthermore, given 
that one of the (unspoken) reasons behind the shameful internment of 
Americans of Japanese ancestry in the 1940s was to reward favored 
interests with property forcibly taken from innocent landowners, how 
confident are we that future, less scrupulous executives will refrain 
from using this power to reward political allies with the property of 
alleged "hostile nationals?"
  H.R. 3108 waters down the fourth amendment by expanding the federal 
governments ability to use wiretaps free of judicial oversight. The 
fourth amendment's requirement of a search warrant and probable cause 
strikes a balance between effective law enforcement and civil 
liberties. Any attempt to water down the warrant requirement threatens 
innocent citizens with a loss of their liberty. This is particularly 
true of provisions which allow for nationwide issuance of search 
warrants, as

[[Page H6769]]

these severely restrict judicial oversight of government wiretaps and 
searches.
  Many of the questionable provisions in this bill, such as the 
expanded pen register authority and the expanded use of roving 
wiretaps, are items for which law enforcement has been lobbying for 
years. The utility of these items in catching terrorists is 
questionable to say the least. After all, terrorists have demonstrated 
they are smart enough not to reveal information about their plans when 
they know federal agents could be listening.
  This legislation is also objectionable because it adopts a lower 
standard than probable cause for receiving e-mails and Internet 
communications. While it is claimed that this is the same standard used 
to discover numbers dialed by a phone, it is also true that even the 
headings on e-mails or the names of web sites one visits can reveal 
greater amounts of personal information than can a mere telephone 
number. I wonder how my colleagues would feel if all of their e-mail 
headings and the names of the web sites they visited were available to 
law enforcement upon a showing of mere "relevance." I also doubt the 
relevance of this provision to terrorist investigation, as it seems 
unlikely that terrorists would rely on e-mail or the Internet to 
communicate among themselves.
  Some defenders of individuals rights may point to the provisions 
establishing new penalties for violations of individual rights and the 
provisions "sunsetting" some of the government's new powers as 
justifying support for this bill. Those who feel that simply increasing 
the penalties for "unauthorized" disclosure of information collected 
under this act should consider that existing laws did not stop the 
ineffectiveness of such laws in preventing the abuse of personal 
information collected by the IRS or FBI by administrations of both 
parties. As for "sunsetting," I would ask if these provisions are 
critical tools in the fight against terrorism, why remove the 
government's ability to use them after five years? Conversely, if these 
provisions violate American's constitutional rights why is it 
acceptable to suspend the Constitution at all?

  As Jeffery Rosen pointed out in the New Republic, this proposal makes 
even the most innocuous form of computer hacking a federal offense but 
does not even grant special emergency powers to perform searches in 
cases where police have reason to believe that a terrorist attack would 
be imminent. Thus, if this bill were law on April 24, 1995 and the FBI 
had information that someone in a yellow Ryder Truck was going to be 
involved in a terrorist attack, the government could not conduct an 
emergency search of all yellow Ryder Trucks in Oklahoma City. This 
failure to address so obvious a need in the anti-terrorism effort 
suggests this bill is a more hastily cobbled together wish list by the 
federal bureauracy than a serious attempt to grant law enforcement the 
actual tools needed to combat terrorism.
  H.R. 3108 may actually reduce security as private cities may not take 
necessary measures to protect their safety because "the government is 
taking care of our security." In a free market, private owners have 
great incentives to protect their private property and the lives of 
their customers. That is why industrial plants in the United States 
enjoy reasonably good security. They are protected not by the local 
police but by owners putting up barbed wire fences, hiring guards with 
guns, and requiring identification cards to enter. All this, without 
any violation of anyone's civil liberties. In a free society private 
owners have a right, if not an obligation, to "profile" if it 
enhances security.
  The reason this provision did not work in the case of the airlines is 
because the airlines followed federal regulations and assumed they were 
sufficient. This is often the case when the government assumes new 
powers or imposes new regulations. Therefore, in the future, once the 
horror of the events of September 11 fade from memory, people will 
relax their guard, figuring that the federal government is using its 
new powers to protect them and thus they do not need to invest their 
own time or money in security measures.
  In conclusion, I reiterate my commitment to effective ways of 
enhancing the government's powers to combat terrorism. However, H.R. 
3108 sacrifices too many of our constitutional liberties and will not 
even effectively address the terrorist menace. I, therefore, urge my 
colleagues to oppose this bill and instead support reasonable common-
sense measures that are aimed at terrorism such as those contained in 
my SAFE Act.
  Mr. BENTSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 2975, which seeks 
to provide new tools to identify, pursue and punish suspected terrorist 
and strengthen our sustained campaign against terrorism. Just over a 
month ago, our country experienced terrorist attacks that resulted in 
an unfathomable human loss. Since that time, Congress and the 
Administration have led the nation in a unified battle against 
terrorism. Today, we are poised to confer new emergency authority to 
the Attorney General for a specific purpose--to fight the scourge of 
terrorism--and definite period, a maximum of five years.
  I am, however, disappointed that this legislation fails to adequately 
address the lifeblood of terrorism, money. Absent from this measure is 
legislation language to interfere with terrorist money laundering 
activities. I am hopeful that H.R. 3004, the Financial Anti-Terrorism 
Act of 2001, which I cosponsored, will get the full attention of the 
House in the coming days.
  Today's seamless financial marketplace, born out of the globalization 
of the late Twentieth Century, has fostered an unprecedented era of 
economic opportunity for terrorists like Osama bin Laden and the vast 
networks of evil they finance. In one month the United States has 
frozen nearly $4 million in assets belonging to the Taliban, Osama bin 
Laden and the al Qaeda network. Congress must continue to close the 
loopholes that allow the enemies of freedom to finance attacks on 
America. To date, our allies have frozen more than $24 million since 
September 11th. We are making great headway, but we are not there yet. 
New anti-money laundering tools are critical to this continued effort.
  With respect to H.R. 2975, I am pleased that this measure enhances 
our wiretapping laws to reflect today's communication reality. Under 
this measure, wiretap authority for suspects using communication 
devices such as the Internet and cell phones would be streamlined so 
that law enforcement could obtain a subpoena from one jurisdiction. I 
am also pleased that this measure makes aliens who endorse terrorist 
activity or suspected money launderers inadmissible and deportable. 
Today, we know that one of our greatest strengths, our open society, 
may have made us particularly susceptible to this brand of terrorism. 
While we must not allow fear to force us to change the inherent nature 
of our society--we must do what is reasonable to insure that potential 
terrorist operatives are not able to plot their herinous schemes within 
our borders.
  Mr. Speaker, I stand with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle in 
my determination to provide law enforcement authorities with the 
necessary tools to investigate terrorism and protect against future 
attacks. Accordingly, I call upon my colleagues to join me in approving 
this important legislation at this time of national crisis which 
balances the need to expand the laws governing intelligence and law 
enforcement activities while safeguarding our dearly held 
constitutional rights and way of life.
  Mr. SERRANO. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.R. 2975, the 
Patriot Act of 2001, in its revised form. It is vitally important to 
give law enforcement the tools necessary to investigate and prevent 
further terrorist acts against American targets and to root out any 
person responsible for the dreadful acts of September 11. But it is at 
least as important to preserve the basic liberties that are ours under 
the Constitution of the United States.
  I was reluctantly prepared to support the Judiciary Committee-
reported version of H.R. 2975, because it was very carefully crafted on 
a bipartisan basis to address concerns expressed by Members across the 
political spectrum about the threat to our freedoms from too much 
expansion of law enforcement powers. Even the reported bill raised 
concerns, particularly about non-terrorist activities that might be 
swept up in the definition of terrorism, but I was somewhat reassured 
by the unanimous Judiciary Committee vote to report the bill.
  But now we are presented with a new bill, a mix of Senate and House 
provisions, that became available for review at 8:00 this morning. An 
initial look at it reveals troubling provisions that expand 
government's power to invade our privacy, imprison people without due 
process, and punish dissent. The fact that some expansions of these 
powers may be used in any criminal investigation, not just an 
investigation of terrorism, particularly seems like overreaching.
  I don't see why regular order had to be abandoned in this case. The 
Committee had reported a bill, the House was prepared to work its will 
on it today, and a final version could be crafted in conference. 
Instead, the Republican leadership basically hijacked the process, 
moving the negotiating position the House will take to conference 
toward the Senate's. This inevitably skews the conference results 
toward more police powers and less protection of our Constitutional 
rights and liberties. The procedural complaint may sound "inside-the-
Beltway", but it has important effects on the final result.
  Mr. Speaker, I support refining law enforcement powers to reflect the 
modern world and equipping law enforcement personnel to fight terrorism 
and bring terrorists to justice. But I most emphatically do not support 
erosion of our most basic rights to privacy and freedom from government 
scrutiny, and I cannot support this bill.
  Mrs. CHRISTENSEN. Mr. Speaker, I know this may sound unduly strong, 
but today we will react to one day of infamy with another if we pass 
H.R. 3108.

[[Page H6770]]

  I remember hearing someone say shortly after September 11th in 
response to something I cannot remember now, that the first casualty of 
this war must not be the U.S. Constitution.
  Well it wasn't the first, but if this bill is passed, it will perhaps 
be the most devastating one, certainly the most far-reaching one, one 
that will not honor those whose lives were lost in the terrorist 
attack, and one that all of us in this body--those who voted for it and 
those who did not--will rue to our dying day.
  This will be the crowning glory and the golden key of all of the most 
extreme radical conservatives in this country. With the right to 
wiretap, with the right to hold without due process, with the right to 
even punish dissent, the very worst of infringements on the civil 
liberties that we have worked so hard to extend to all and protect and 
preserve, will reign, and threaten not just the terrorists, but all 
Americans.
  When I think of all our forefathers fought for to create this 
independent Nation, with freedom and justice for all; when I think of 
the struggle to end slavery, to win the right to vote and to ensure 
that all Americans fully participate in this society, and all the lives 
that were given in these efforts, it makes me sick to think that today 
we might pass this travesty of justice and freedom and fairness, and in 
doing so undermine the government of checks and balances that they in 
their wisdom constructed, relinquish our responsibilities in this body, 
and dishonor their memory and their legacy.
  Although neither I or most of our members have had an opportunity to 
fully review the legislation, it appears clear that most of the 
provisions of this act are un-necessary to accomplish the goals of 
ferreting out terrorists and their abettors. In other instances they go 
too far or continue long after they would be reasonably needed under 
the very worst of circumstances.
  At the very least we need to apply the restraint of time and 
opportunity for full review, as well as make possible the opportunity 
to amend and thus fix the more egregious parts before a vote is taken 
on a measure such as this, which will change the culture of our society 
in terrible ways, and give those who wanted to destroy not only our 
prosperity but our freedom, the victory in the end.
  I urge all of my colleagues to vote H.R. 3108, the leadership bill 
down, and protect the freedoms that make America, America.
  Mr. GILMAN. Mr. Speaker, today we have been debating an important 
bill. Our deliberations this afternoon will provide modernized 
surveillance capabilities aimed at capturing terrorists which will 
ensure that new technology can be executed in multiple jurisdictions 
anywhere in the United States.
  The Patriot Act will expand the definitions related to terrorist 
organizations; provide the seamless flow of information between law 
enforcement and intelligence agencies; strengthen our northern border 
by tripling the number of Border patrol personnel in each state along 
this border; and most importantly will permit the courts to issue a 
generic order, which will still identify a target, yet permit the court 
order to be presented to a carrier, landlord or custodian and allow 
that the surveillance may be undertaken as soon as technically feasible 
on any new location.
  There has been extensive discussion on the floor with regard to these 
new surveillance provisions by those fearing the abdication of our 
civil rights protections with the passage of this Act.
  While, I am confident that nobody in this chamber is interested in 
either deteriorating our civil rights or failing to provide our nation 
with the necessary law enforcement and intelligence tools to defeat 
terrorism, I believe it is important to bear in mind the times in which 
we currently find ourselves.
  A month and one day ago, we were barbarically and cowardly attacked 
by terrorists. Nearly six thousand lives were lost--more than in the 
attack on Pearl Harbor. Our economy has been adversely affected, and 
our constituents are demanding that we provide protection against any 
further terrorist assaults. While, we did not ask for the war we now 
find ourselves involved in it is our duty as Members of Congress to 
provide the necessary tools and laws necessary to defeat those who wish 
to harm America.
  Mr. Speaker, we learned during Vietnam that we cannot fight and 
expect to win a war when we fail to provide our military with the 
resources necessary for victory. Let us not make that same mistake 
twice and fail to provide the tools necessary to win this war--our war 
against terrorism.
  We can and will continue to protect our civil liberties by providing 
constant oversight over these initiatives. After all it is our 
responsibility in the Congress to provide such oversight and to insure 
that our government not overstep its bounds. I am confident that we 
will not fail in this regard.
  Accordingly, I rise in full support of the Patriot Act and I urge all 
of my colleagues to support this important legislation.
  Mr. OXLEY. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased that this Congress is going to 
give our law enforcement and intelligence communities the tools they 
desperately need to track down terrorists and prevent another murderous 
attack on our people.
  September 11th ushered in a new era in American history. We are 
vulnerable here at home, not just to the fanatics who hijacked those 
planes, but to other terrorists who have access to biological, 
chemical, and maybe even nuclear weapons. This threat will not end in 2 
years, 5 years, or 10 years.
  The provisions in this bill will help to put the FBI and CIA on a 
more equal footing with terrorists who are using electronic 
communications to plot with impunity. I have long warned that our 
wiretap laws have not kept pace with advances in technology. Law 
enforcement needs to be able to monitor cell phone calls and electronic 
communications, just as it has been able to listen in on old-style 
rotary phones.
  Simply put, if we can't hear what terrorists are saying, we can't 
stop them.
  Under the sunset language in this bill, these new authorities could 
expire in as little as 3 years and possibly in 5 years. Establishing 
that "sunset" date is a mistake. It sends an unintended message that 
our resolve is fleeting. It also tells a law enforcement community 
working around the clock that their power to protect us is provisional. 
And it suggests to the American people that in a few years, we might 
let down our guard.
  We will not give our Armed Forces anything less than our full support 
in this war. Intelligence gathering is going to be every bit as 
important to this campaign as our military.
  Surveillance is restrained by a body of agency rules, judicial 
approval, and congressional approval. As a former FBI agent, I applied 
for wiretap orders. They are not easy to get. The electronic 
surveillance provisions in the bill are constitutional and achieve the 
proper balance with our constitutional rights. I happen to think that 
safety and security during uncertain times is a most important civil 
liberty.
  Through the actions we take, Congress must show that the U.S. will 
stay the course with the war on terrorism for the long haul. I hope 
that our law enforcement community will be able to deal with the 
inconsistency that the sunset poses, and use these common sense 
authorities to protect us from the terrorists who we have already been 
warned may be poised to strike again.
  Mr. BOYD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 3108, the 
Uniting and Strengthening America Act. Since the attacks that 
devastated our Nation on September 11th, Congress has been working in a 
bipartisan fashion to develop the solutions to combating terrorism. I 
believe this bill provides the necessary solutions to one of the 
greatest challenges our country has ever faced. Congress and the 
President must work together to ensure that the necessary steps are 
taken in order to prevent terrorism from occurring on American soil and 
victimizing American citizens ever again. Providing federal law 
enforcement officials with the tools to fight the war on American is 
not only our civic responsibility, but our responsibility as American 
citizens. While expanding these powers, we must be mindful of 
protecting the civil liberties that every American enjoys, because 
these are the very freedoms that make this country great and for which 
scores of our forefathers have fought. This bill strikes the delicate 
balance between the two vital points of expanding power and protecting 
civil liberty.
  It is important to update current laws to reflect the technological 
changes the 21st century has brought about, including new methods of 
communication. Federal law enforcement officials must have the capacity 
to monitor terrorists who utilize relatively new technology to plan 
attacks on Americans throughout the world. These provisions are 
essential to ensuring victory in our war against terrorism. Additional 
items included in this bill expand law enforcement power through new 
types of electronic surveillance, increased foreign intelligence 
gathering, and immigration reforms that will keep us a step ahead of 
any potential act of terrorism against Americans. It is also important 
to note there are provisions in the bill to ensure our civil liberties 
are protected. Among these is the mandatory sunset of the intelligence 
gathering provisions after five years. This allows Congress to evaluate 
whether the new powers given to justice officials have been successful 
and have respected the civil rights of each and every American citizen.
  Again, Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the Uniting and 
Strengthening America Act and urge that this legislation be adopted.
  Mr. LANGEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to this rule and in 
opposition to the clandestine way in which what was once a strong 
bipartisan package was changed and rushed to the floor with no 
consultation with this side of the aisle.

[[Page H6771]]

  While I understand the difficult task of crafting legislation while 
the nation is still recovering from and investigating the terrorist 
attacks of September 11th, I am disappointed with the extremely limited 
choice placed before me. I want to provide our law enforcement with the 
tools they need to stop terrorism. I want to support this bill, but few 
of us even know what is in it since the Judiciary Committee never 
considered it.
  In the aftermath of the attacks, we must strengthen our ability to 
find and punish those connected with these tragic events, and enhance 
our preparedness to prevent similar tragedies in the future. However, 
we must meet the critical counter-terrorism need of federal law 
enforcement and intelligence agencies without compromising the civil 
liberties of our citizens in the process. I have strong concerns about 
the bill we are considering today because I cannot be guaranteed it 
strikes this crucial balance.
  I urge my colleagues to vote against the rule so we all can be 
assured this goal is met by bringing the original measure which was 
unanimously approved the Judiciary Committee, to the floor instead.
  Ms. KILPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, today I rise in opposition to the rule 
and the antiterrorism bill we are considering today.
  While the current circumstances require expedited action, we must 
also be deliberate and circumspect in our action. I know these aims run 
counter to one another, but at this juncture in our history it is 
critical that we think before we act. The attacks on our nation have 
changed us forever causing strong demands for action to improve our 
security. Our response to terrorism, however, must not thwart the very 
democratic values that this nation was founded upon.
  Any legislative action we take must ensure that our traditions of 
civil liberty continue to stand strong--anything less would serve the 
goals of those who attacked us.
  Unfortunately, we are now poised to consider a measure that grants 
our federal government broad sweeping powers to investigate not only 
terrorism, but all crimes. We are now poised to consider legislation 
that may jeopardize the civil liberties that we hold dear. Today we are 
forced by the White House and a few people in the House and Senate to 
circumvent a process that produced legislation that could truly be 
called bipartisan. The Republicans and the Democrats on the Judiciary 
Committee joined together to create a measure that received the 
unanimous support of the Committee. I commend Chairman Sensenbrenner 
and Ranking Member Conyers for their good work. The White House and the 
Republican leadership of the House, however, hijacked the Committee's 
work--forcing us to vote on this one hundred and eighty page bill with 
only a few short hours to review it.
  There are thorny issues in the measure before us.
  The House Judiciary Committee's counter-terrorism bill included a 
provision that sunsets these extraordinary increases in Government 
power in two years, ensuring that the House would be forced to review 
these measures at that time. This compromise was reached despite the 
fact that the White House and the Justice Department wanted the measure 
to be enacted for an indefinite amount of time.
  The bill before us today, however, allows the measure to be revisited 
in three years. At that time, however, it is within the sole discretion 
of the President to decide whether or not to extend these measures for 
another two years. This is dangerous. This measure gives this 
administration nearly unbridled power to pursue terrorism and other 
crime. Yes, we need to address the ability of government to pursue 
terrorists. However, Congress should be able to change this measure if 
the current terrorist threat subsides. Congress should be the body 
revisiting this measure in two or three years. Congress should not 
delegate its constitutional duty to oversee the activity of the 
Executive Branch.
  While I firmly support added measures to fight terrorism, we should 
not move in the direction of past mistakes. Fortunately we successfully 
removed provisions giving the administration the ability to detain 
suspect non-citizens for indefinite amounts of time. Unlimited 
detention is unacceptable. There must be thorough judicial review in a 
specified period of time. We must not repeat the mistakes of our past. 
We must not revert to the age of McCarthyism when accusation and 
innuendo operated with the force of law. I am concerned that those who 
support today's process and the measure before us today have not 
learned the lessons of history well enough.
  I understand that the events of September 11 have necessitated 
heightened measures to ensure the security of our citizens. However, I 
hope these heightened measures do not distort our records on the issue 
of civil liberties. I am particularly concerned about those who suggest 
that our current situation justifies the practice of racial profiling 
or search and seizure procedures without clear standards that are 
subject to thorough review of our nation's judges. As an African 
American, I know all too well the ills of racial profiling. The 
President has proclaimed that our war on terrorism is not a war on 
Islam. He has proclaimed that our nation takes pride in its diversity, 
which is strengthened by our brothers and sisters of the Islamic faith. 
I suggest that if our policy is to focus our heightened investigative 
efforts solely on those who look Middle Eastern, or foreign, then we 
dishonor the President's noble proclamations. In this time of need we 
should focus our attention on all potential terrorists, including those 
who attack this country in the name of Christianity. Our outcry and 
efforts against foreign terrorism should be just as zealous against 
domestic terrorism. Our outcry against the Osama bin Ladens of the 
world should be just as strong against the Timothy McVeighs. Both seek 
to use terror and confusion to accomplish their warped political goals. 
By a truly comprehensive and objective attack on terrorism we lend 
credibility to our current war on terrorism and shine forth the light 
of freedom from our nation's shores.
  Mr. Speaker, for these reasons I oppose the measure before us today. 
In our justified haste to catch those who perpetrated the events of 
September 11 and who pose a continued threat to our nation, we must not 
abort the ideals that have made our nation strong. In the face of this 
crisis we must not rend our civil liberties and thus our Constitution, 
lest we be prepared to cede victory to the terrorists.
  Mr. STARK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition to H.R. 2975, the 
anti-terrorism bill. I do so reluctantly because we were supposed to 
have had a bill on the Floor today that I could have supported. The 
House Judiciary Committee unanimously passed a bipartisan bill that 
adroitly found the right balance between giving federal authorities the 
tools they need to fight terrorism, while still protecting the civil 
liberties that our citizens hold so dear.
  Unfortunately, a few members of the Republican leadership rejected 
this bipartisan legislation and created a new bill. This bill loses the 
balance that the previous legislation had achieved. The bill gives 
broad new powers to federal law enforcement officials while putting 
civil liberties at risk. Even worse, the bill prevents the Congress 
from reviewing these provisions in two years to ensure that the 
government is using its new powers in an appropriate manner.
  In addition, this bill has not received proper consideration by the 
House of Representatives. Most members, in fact, don't even know what 
the bill contains. This may be the most sweeping, comprehensive piece 
of legislation dealing with law enforcement practices and civil 
liberties that this Congress will ever consider. Such important 
legislation demands careful scrutiny and deserves bipartisan agreement. 
This bill fails in both respects.
  There is no question that the United States government must do 
everything in its power to protect our citizens. Our laws do need to be 
adjusted to properly reflect modern technology and to effectively 
respond to modern threats. The bill we consider today, however, is not 
the answer. I urge my colleagues to oppose this bill and to return to a 
bipartisan approach to improving our nation's security.
  Mr. THOMPSON of California. Mr. Speaker, it is with great reluctance 
that I vote in support of the antiterrorism legislation that was 
debated in the House today. What began as a collaborative and 
bipartisan process, has become a clandestine and highly partisan 
catastrophe. My intention today, was to support H.R. 2975, the PATRIOT 
Act that was given thoughtful consideration and resulted in a well-
crafted compromise. To my great regret, however, partisan procedures 
and pressures kept the House of Representatives from passing this 
legislation. Instead, the House took up a modified version of the 
Senate passed Uniting and Strengthening America Act.
  With some adjustments by the House leadership, the legislation 
contains many important provisions to ensure that the intelligence and 
law enforcement communities can do their jobs. The bill makes changes 
to intelligence and surveillance laws to account for advances in 
technology. It also strengthens penalties for money laundering and 
possession of biological agents for a suspected terrorist. But I am 
concerned that the legislation fails to create a watchdog position 
within the Department of Justice to monitor intelligence and law 
enforcement activities enacted by this new law. It also abandons the 
original two-year sunset, to a sunset of up to five years depending 
upon presidential preference. I believe that a five-year period is too 
lengthy, and support a sunset period of up to three years to ensure 
that civil liberties are protected, while intelligence and law 
enforcement officials do their jobs.
  Let me be very clear: I voted for the revised antiterrorism 
legislation today to ensure that the horrendous events of September 
11th are never repeated. I am offended by the process but am compelled 
by the circumstances in which we live today. I believe that in the days 
ahead, the House and Senate conference committee will work to craft a 
compromise measure that the American people can fully

[[Page H6772]]

support. In this new day of extraordinary circumstances, the impossible 
became a reality. Consequently, decisive action is necessary to prevent 
future acts of terrorism on the United States.
  Mr. UDALL of Colorado. Mr. Speaker, earlier this year we began this 
Congress by taking an oath to uphold the Constitution.
  It was the second time I did so, but for me it was still a solemn 
moment and a source of great price--as I am sure it was for you and for 
the many of our colleagues who have served far longer than I.
  It was a solemn moment because we were pledging ourselves to 
upholding the basic framework of our government, including the basic 
guarantees of the Bill of Rights. I think that is the highest and most 
important duty any American can undertake.
  And it was an especially proud moment for me because it meant that I 
would again be privileged to be part of this great institution, the 
House of Representatives--an institution for which I have for so long 
had such great respect.
  Since then less than six months have passed--but how long ago that 
seems to have been. Since September 11th, so many things have happened, 
and so many things have changed. And, unfortunately, one of the things 
that has changed is my pride in the way the House is meeting its 
responsibilities.
  That is because today we are proceeding in a way that falls far short 
of the standard to which we should hold ourselves--and doing so in 
connection with legislation of the very highest importance, legislation 
that can affect the lives and liberties of all the American people.
  To start with, like so many of our colleagues, I have not had an 
opportunity to learn fully what is in this bill beyond a cursory 
discussion in caucus, and while some Members of the House are versed on 
the particulars, I don't believe there has been enough time for debate 
and full consideration. On a subject so dear as our civil liberties, 
particularly in a time of crisis, surely the House could afford time to 
allow Members to read and understand this complicated legislative 
package before a vote. I do not know whether the objections raised by 
the bill's critics--such as those in today's letter from the American 
Civil Liberties Union--are well-founded or not. But I have no doubt 
that when it comes to matters as important as these it is far better to 
err on the side of caution.
  Mr. Speaker, in times of war and crisis there is always a very 
delicate balance between the need to be secure and the need to protect 
civil liberty. There have been moments in our nation's history when 
this balance was not carefully preserved--and with shameful 
consequences. In the rush to fight the terrorist threat, I want to be 
absolutely certain that we strike the right balance and avoid looking 
back on this time with regret about our haste and lack of wisdom.
  I am not an expert on fighting terrorism, but I know that if we are 
not careful in choosing our weapons, we can damage the very 
Constitution we have sworn to uphold. And I do know that there is a 
right way and a wrong way to legislate--and this is the wrong way.
  And that, Mr. Speaker, is why I cannot vote for this bill today.


                                American Civil Liberties Union

                                 Washington, DC, October 12, 2001.

        Be Patriotic--Vote Against the Revised "Patriot Bill"

       Dear Representative: The ACLU is urging Members to vote no 
     on the Rule, no on final passage and yes on the motion to 
     recommit. Sadly, most Americans do not seem to realize that 
     Congress is about to pass a law that drastically expands 
     government's power to invade our privacy, to imprison people 
     without due process, and to punish dissent. More disturbing 
     is the fact that this power grab over our freedom and civil 
     liberties is in fact not necessary to fight terrorism. 
     Briefly, the substitute bill has the following problems:
       Sharing Sensitive Information without Privacy Protections: 
     The bill authorizes law enforcement to "share criminal 
     investigative information." This section permits the 
     disclosure of sensitive, previously undisclosable information 
     obtained through grand jury investigations or wiretaps about 
     American citizens to the CIA, NSA, INS, Secret Service and 
     military, without judicial review, and with no limits as to 
     how these agencies can use the information once they have it, 
     and without marking the information to indicate how the 
     information can be used.
       Sneak and Peek Searches: this section authorizes the 
     wholesale use of covert searches for any criminal 
     investigation thus allowing the government to enter your 
     home, office or other private place and conduct a search, 
     take photographs, and download your computer files without 
     notifying you until later. The Congress rejected this 
     provision two times last year because it was misguided and 
     overbroad
       Single-Jurisdiction search warrants for terrorism: This 
     provision enables the government to go to a court in any 
     jurisdiction where it is conducting a terrorism 
     investigation, regardless of how insubstantial that location 
     is to the investigation, to conduct a search anywhere in the 
     country. This will allow the government to forum shop and 
     make it practically impossible for individuals who are 
     subjected to the search to challenge the search when the 
     warrants are issued by a judge in a distant location.
       New crime of Domestic Terrorism: This new crime is wholly 
     unnecessary for the Administration's "War on Terrorism." It 
     expands the ever-growing cadre of federal crimes by 
     authorizing the federal government to prosecute violations of 
     state law and may be used to prosecute political protestors 
     who engage in acts the government considers to be dangerous 
     to human life.
       Requires People to Turn in Suspects Even If They Don't Know 
     Whether the Person Has Committed a Crime. This bill creates a 
     new crime exposing people to criminal liability for lodging a 
     person who he or she knows "or has reasonable grounds to 
     believe" has committed or is about to commit a crime. This 
     places a new burden on persons to turn in family and friends 
     never before imposed on individuals.
       Disclosing Intelligence Information on Americans to the 
     CIA: The bill mandates that the FBI turn over any information 
     on terrorism, even if it is about American citizens, that is 
     developed in criminal cases. This will result in the CIA 
     getting back into the business of spying on Americans.
       Imposing Indefinite Detention: The bill allows for non-
     citizens to be detained indefinitely, without meaningful 
     judicial review;
       Reducing Privacy in Student Records: The bill overturns 
     current law by giving law enforcement greater access to and 
     use of student records for investigative purposes. Under the 
     substitute, highly personal and potentially damaging 
     information about American and foreign students will be 
     transmitted to many federal agencies and could lead to 
     adverse consequences far beyond the stated goal of the anti-
     terrorism bill.
       Sunset of Wiretap Provisions: The House Judiciary 
     Committee's bill would have sunset all of new wiretapping 
     authorities in two years and two months. The sunset was 
     designed to permit Congress to evaluate how the new 
     authorities were being used, and whether there were abuses 
     that would require additional privacy protections. The bill 
     now pending before the House would gut the sunset provision 
     by extending it to five years and three months (three years 
     and three months, plus two more years upon a presidential 
     certification).
       Exclusionary Rule: The House Judiciary Committee's bill 
     included a provision to exclude from criminal cases evidence 
     that law enforcement seized illegally when monitoring 
     Internet communications. This would have conformed the rules 
     pertaining to illegal interception of Internet communications 
     to the rules governing illegal interception of telephone 
     calls. The bill now pending in the House omits this 
     provision.
       Expansion of Wiretapping Authority: The wiretapping 
     provisions in the pending House bill are virtually identical 
     to those in the bill the Senate approved last night. Both 
     bills minimizes judicial oversight of electronic surveillance 
     by: subjecting private Internet communications to a minimal 
     standard of review; permitting law enforcement to obtain what 
     would be the equivalent of a "blank warrant" in the 
     physical world; authorizing scattershot intelligence wiretap 
     orders that need not specify the place to be searched or 
     require that only the target's conversations be eavesdropped 
     upon; and allowing the FBI to use its "intelligence" 
     authority to circumvent the judicial review of the probable 
     cause requirement of the Fourth Amendment.
       Most of these provisions are unnecessary for fighting 
     international terrorism; some would be acceptable if they 
     were implemented with appropriate judicial oversight. Law 
     enforcement agents make mistakes--for example, the life of 
     suspected Atlanta Olympic bomber Richard Jewell was turned 
     upside down. Essential checks and balances on these new 
     powers are omitted from this legislation. We can be both safe 
     and free if the House takes the time to do this right.

                                                         Director.
     Gregory T. Nojeim,
         Associate Director & Chief Legislative Counsel.
  Mr. KIND. Mr. Speaker, of all the issues we have considered, and will 
consider, in the aftermath of September 11, securing the safety of our 
Nation against the threat of terrorism may prove to be the most 
challenging aspect of our recovery and security focus. One reason the 
terrorists targeted our Nation is because of the freedoms we enjoy as a 
nation, and the importance we place on individual liberty.
  By nature, the openness of American society is a liability when it 
comes to public safety. The attacks on the World Trade Center and the 
Pentagon have shown us that virtually any possible threat may be 
realized.
  The challenge of securing the Land of the Free is a delicate task. By 
considering the laws that protect personal privacy we risk

[[Page H6773]]

alienating those values on which our Nation was founded. In taking on 
this challenge, I commend the Chairman and ranking member of the 
Judiciary Committee for recognizing the fundamental importance of this 
task, and working together to draft legislation in a fair and 
respectful manner. I just wish that process had been followed through 
all the way to the end instead of being hijacked the night before.
  The legislation before us today is not perfect. I, like many Members, 
have reservations about expanding boundaries in which Government may 
more easily encroach on personal privacy. However, these reservations 
must be weighed in light of our experiences, as well as Section 8 of 
Article 1 of the Constitution which states "Congress shall have the 
power--to provide for the common defense and general welfare of the 
United States . . ."
  As a former prosecutor, I have experience in dealing with criminal 
investigations and prosecutions, and understand the inherent need to 
protect the public against terrorist activities. While I maintain 
concerns regarding some aspects of the bill regarding the specifics of 
electronic monitoring and other provisions, I acknowledge the 
importance of modernizing our laws to reflect the use of new 
technologies. I also appreciate the committee work on issues including 
improving the security of our borders, providing benefits to 
individuals involved in the immigration system who were detrimentally 
impacted under the law by the attacks, and updating the definition of 
terrorist activities and criminal penalties associated with terrorism 
in light of September 11. In addition, the sunset provisions attached 
to this legislation will provide for a review of these changes.
  This legislation provides the best opportunity for our Nation to 
protect its citizens without crossing the Constitution, and I therefore 
support its passage.
  Ms. HARMAN. Mr. Speaker, a long-scheduled appointment for minor 
surgery that was planned on the basis of the House leadership's 
announced calendar requires that I miss the vote on final passage of 
H.R. 2975.
  I support many--though not all--of the counter-terrorism changes 
recommended by Attorney General Ashcroft. Indeed, I was part of the 
bipartisan group of members of Congress who met with him shortly after 
the tragic terrorist attacks of September 11.
  Whether the bill implements those recommendations is difficult to 
tell. The time stamp on the text is 3:43 am this morning. Do we know 
what changes were made between it and the bill reported unanimously 
from the Judiciary Committee?
  Mr. Chairman, the process by which we are considering this measure 
plays fast and loose with our Constitution. It may well be that a 
number of its provisions will be stricken by the Courts.
  We should have had an opportunity to more carefully consider its 
provisions.
  Law enforcement needs 21st century rules to combat 21st century 
enemies. A cursory review of this bill suggests that we are providing 
many of them. But some may go too far, some may not go far enough.
  With some reluctance I support this bill. Not because I believe 
changes are not warranted, but because the rushed process by which the 
House is considering this bill is inappropriate given the severity of 
the challenge before this nation.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition to the version 
of the bill that has been presented before this House for 
consideration. Like every Member of this Congress, I believe we should 
provide law enforcement with every appropriate tool necessary to combat 
terrorism. In that spirit, I have supported all of the President's 
actions and requests, in both word and deed, since the horrific attacks 
which devastated this nation on September 11. Furthermore, I came to 
work this morning with every intention of voting for the carefully 
crafted bipartisan legislation that passed the House Judiciary 
Committee last week 36-0.
  However, I now stand before this House in complete amazement at the 
events that have transpired over the past 24 hours. Last week, the 
Judiciary Committee took the Bush administration's proposal into mark-
up, and carefully discussed and considered every aspect of this 
legislation. In an impressive display of bi-partisanship the concerns 
of every single one of the 36 members of the Judiciary Committee, from 
the right and the left, were addressed. For that, I applaud both 
Chairman Sensenbrenner and Ranking Member Conyers for their efforts.
  Yet despite this monumental display of cooperation, we stand poised 
to vote this morning on a substitute bill that was never even 
considered in the committee setting, and whose contents few of us have 
even seen. I am deeply troubled by the injustice done to the 
legislative process by rushing this new bill onto the floor, replacing 
the carefully crafted bill that was so impressively constructed last 
week.
  During this great nation's time of trial, we cannot underscore enough 
the importance of safeguarding the precious civil liberties and basic 
freedoms that underpin our society. Even in times of heightened alert, 
military action, and increased security awareness, it is our job as 
Members of the U.S. Congress to carefully consider the implications of 
extending the search and seizure powers of federal agencies, and ensure 
the protection of our basic rights as Americans. If we allow the 
cowardly terrorist actions of September 11 to redefine the freedoms 
that law-abiding citizens of this great nation are allowed to enjoy, 
then we have defeated ourselves. Nothing would greater please those who 
deplore America and our freedom loving society than to watch as we 
rashly whittle away our civil liberties out of fear and insecurity.
  Mr. Speaker, I will oppose this legislation today, and I ask that all 
of my colleagues do the same. I fully support the efforts of President 
Bush to ensure the security of this nation, yet I will not vote to 
undermine the basic freedoms we all hold dear. It is crucial that we, 
as a united Congress, remain strong in this time of crisis, and protect 
the fundamentally American values and civil liberties that so many 
generations before us have struggled to create.
  Mr. BUYER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the PATRIOT Act.
  We are engaged in a great struggle to combat the forces of terrorism 
that threatened our Nation on September 11. For this struggle, we have 
called forth the strong arm of our military. But in addition, this 
struggle will also be fought by law enforcement here at home.
  Our law enforcement officers need the best tools available to combat 
terrorism. This is not the case today and it is this deficiency that 
this bill seeks to remedy. For far too long we have neglected to equip 
our law enforcement with the tools they need to do their jobs as 
technology has changed.
  This bill will permit wiretaps to be leveled against suspected 
terrorists the same as we do for drug lords and organized crime 
syndicates. With existing court protections in place, law enforcement 
will now be able to follow suspected terrorists when they use the 
Internet, a land line phone or numerous cell phones. Nor will law 
enforcement have to go back to various courts when suspects move from 
location to location to location.
  Quite frankly, these provisions are long overdue. I regret that this 
bill includes a sunset provision. We need these provisions to be 
permanent.


   Modification to Amendment Adopted Pursuant to House Resolution 264

  Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the 
amendment considered as adopted pursuant to H. Res. 264 be further 
modified as follows: delete sections 302, 303, and 304.
  This request has been cleared with the minority.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Wisconsin?
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 264, the 
previous question is ordered on the bill, as amended.
  The question is on the engrossment and third reading of the bill.
  The bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time, and was 
read the third time.


                Motion to Recommit Offered by Mr. Nadler

  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I offer a motion to recommit.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman opposed to the bill?
  Mr. NADLER. I certainly am, Mr. Speaker.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to 
recommit.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Mr. Nadler moves to recommit the bill H.R. 2975 to the 
     Committee on the Judiciary with instructions to report the 
     same back to the House forthwith with the following 
     amendment:
       At the end of title II, add the following:
       "Section 225. Scope of Provisions
       "This title and the amendments made by this title (other 
     than sections 205, 208, 211, 221, 222, 223, and 224, and the 
     amendments made by those sections) shall apply only to 
     investigations of domestic terrorism or international 
     terrorism (as those terms are defined in section 2331 of 
     title 18, United States Code), such that this title and the 
     amendments made by this title (other than sections 205, 208, 
     211, 221, 222, 223, and 224, and the amendments made by those 
     sections) shall not apply to violations of either sections 
     992(a)(1)(A), 922(a)(6), 922(a)(5), 922(m), or 924(a)(1)(A) 
     of title 18, United States Code (pertaining to firearm 
     dealers violations), or first-time non-violent violations of 
     the Controlled Substances Act (as set forth in title 21, 
     United States Code) unless such violations pertain to 
     domestic terrorism or international terrorism (as those terms 
     are defined in section 2331 of title 18, United States 
     Code)."

  Mr. NADLER (during the reading). Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent 
that the motion to recommit be considered as read and printed in the 
Record.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from New York?
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from New 
York (Mr. Nadler) is recognized for 5 minutes in support of his motion 
to recommit.
  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, what this motion to recommit does is to make 
the provisions of this bill granting extraordinary powers to 
investigative agencies of governments apply only to extraordinary 
circumstances, only to investigations of terrorism or potential 
terrorism.
  Mr. Speaker, a month ago, the United States was attacked; and in 
particular my district was attacked. I know or knew many people who 
were victims of that horrible attack, and I thirst to repay that attack 
and to make sure it will not happen again. But we can be attacked in 
many ways, and one of those attacks is to cause us to invade our own 
liberties as a reaction to the attack upon us, and that we must 
prevent.
  Speaker after speaker on this floor today has described how this 187-
page bill, seen by us only a few hours ago, with no opportunity to 
really look into it, to send out the text to law professors, to others, 
to really see the implications and to make intelligent judgments upon 
it may very well be a danger to many of our liberties.
  Well, we have to act in haste, we are told. Why? Because we must 
prevent acts of terrorism. Let us grant that assumption. Fine. But why 
should these provisions then extend to anything but terrorism? We can 
pass the bill today. I will not vote for it, but we can pass the bill 
today, give our government the powers it says it needs, that the 
President and the Attorney General say they need to prevent terrorism 
and to defeat terrorists, but not grant that power with respect to 
everything else until we have had proper time to look into the question 
without the haste that this emergency imposes on us. And then we can 
say that these provisions should or should not, or some should and some 
should not, be extended to ordinary criminal investigations.
  Let the terrorism bill proceed for terrorism now, albeit in haste, 
albeit hastily drafted, albeit not properly vetted. If that is the will 
of the body, let it be done for terrorism, but only for terrorism. And 
let us, for other things where the emergency is not immediate, take our 
time and do it properly.
  So this motion to recommit simply says these extraordinary powers 
exist for terrorist threats, for investigations of terrorism, and not 
for others.
  Mr. WEINER. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. NADLER. I yield to the gentleman from New York.
  Mr. WEINER. Mr. Speaker, I rise and I speak to some in this body who 
share my view that the Senate bill, arguably, does not go far enough. 
And I speak to some in this body who recognize the great work that the 
gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Sensenbrenner) and the gentleman from 
Michigan (Mr. Conyers) did to cobble a compromise that everyone can 
rally around. Those are good reasons for us to step back, go back to 
the drawing board, and perhaps return with our original bill, if for no 
other reason than we are going to conference with the other body and it 
seems insane we are here negotiating with ourselves.
  But let us think of some of the things that were in the bill that the 
gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Sensenbrenner) and the gentleman from 
Michigan (Mr. Conyers) wrote that are not in today. The gentleman from 
Illinois (Mr. Hyde) offered language that would track money launderers. 
Out of the bill. I think it should be in. The gentleman from Georgia 
(Mr. Barr) offered language, and I have trouble saying these words, 
that I agree with while in terms of tracking security officers. I 
offered language that was in the bill that would track people who come 
here on student visas and who overstay their visas and commit acts of 
violence, at least two of which were in that category that crashed into 
the World Trade Center in my hometown.
  My colleagues, I have been to too many vigils, too many funerals, 
held too much hands of grieving families in my district to be satisfied 
with a bill that takes out so many of the provisions that we worked so 
hard for in the Committee on the Judiciary. There are many reasons why 
we should offer a motion to recommit, some of which are those which are 
shared by my colleague, the gentleman from New York (Mr. Nadler), who 
believes this bill goes too far. But there are also reasons, I say to 
all of my colleagues, for those who think we have watered down these 
efforts too far, to put back in some of the thoughtful provisions that 
the House Committee on the Judiciary put in.
  There is no good reason not to recommit. There is going to be a 
conference on this bill. Why not go in with our strongest possible 
negotiating position, including the Hyde language, the Barr language, 
and the Weiner language that I would say would pass this House with 350 
votes.
  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, reclaiming my time, I agree with the other 
distinguished gentleman from New York. There are provisions that go too 
far in this bill, in my opinion; and there are things that are not in 
this bill that ought to be, again, after the wonderful work done by the 
distinguished gentleman from Wisconsin and the distinguished gentleman 
from Michigan and the committee as a whole, tossed out the window, a 
new bill, brand new, emergency we are told.
  Limit this to the terrorism and let us work regular order, the way 
this House ought to proceed, so we may examine whether these powers 
belong in the general criminal field. There is no emergency we are told 
about there. The emergency pertains to terrorism, so let us proceed on 
an emergency basis, which we are doing now, voting for this bill 
virtually sight unseen, proceed on that emergency basis only for the 
terrorism emergency. Limit the bill to the terrorism emergency and look 
at the rest in our own good time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman from New York has 
expired.
  Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the motion 
to recommit.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Wisconsin is recognized 
for 5 minutes.
  Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, the motion to recommit should be 
rejected for the following reason:
  In many cases, what begins as an ordinary criminal investigation will 
end up leading into material relating to how terrorists finance 
themselves or how terrorists act and further criminal activity as well.
  Let me give an example. Last month, the Prime Minister of the United 
Kingdom, Tony Blair, gave a very eloquent speech to the annual 
conference of his Labor Party somewhere in England. That speech was 
covered by C-SPAN. I saw most of it. I hope that many of the other 
Members did as well. But one of the things that Prime Minister Blair 
said was that 90 percent of the heroin that is sold in the United 
Kingdom is sold by Osama bin Laden's front groups, and the money that 
is used from people who purchase the heroin is used to finance Osama 
bin Laden's terrorist activities.

                              {time}  1545

  Under the motion to recommit by the gentleman from New York, if there 
is an ordinary, run-of-the-mill drug investigation that might include 
terrorist activity or might not include terrorist activity, the 
expanded law enforcement provisions of this bill would not apply until 
there is evidence that terrorist activity has infiltrated that part of 
the drug trade.
  By the time that evidence comes up, it might be too late, and there 
might be another terrorist strike that could have been prevented as a 
result of the increased law enforcement powers that are contained in 
this bill.
  The motion to recommit by the gentleman from New York will not allow 
law enforcement to expand its scope in time because there would have to 
be showing of a linkage to international terrorism as defined by this 
bill. We should reject the motion to recommit simply for that reason. I 
urge a "no" vote.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time, and I move the 
previous question on the motion to recommit.
  The previous question was ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to recommit.

[[Page H6775]]

  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the noes appeared to have it.
  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, the Chair 
will reduce to 5 minutes the minimum time for any electronic vote on 
the question of passage of the bill.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 73, 
nays 345, not voting 12, as follows:

  Mr. HONDA and Mr. BECERRA changed their vote from "yea" to "nay."
  Ms. CARSON of Indiana changed her vote from "present" to "yea."
  So the bill was passed.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  The title of the bill was amended so as to read: "To deter and 
punish terrorist acts in the United States and around the world, to 
enhance law enforcement investigatory tools, and for other purposes."
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
