I hope that you'll use your position on the Judiciary Committee to help ensure
speedy report and passage of S.2369, a bipartisan bill to amend the recently
reauthorised USA PATRIOT Act so that it will be somewhat less intrusive on civil
liberties.  This bill would require the government to demonstrate connection to
a suspected terrorist before being able to pursue Section 215 requests for
business records, would place a seven-day limit on delayed notification of
searches, would eliminate National Security Letter provisions at the end of
2009, and would strengthen the recipients' ability to challenge gag orders
associated with National Security Letters.
