After measured deliberation and a public debate, the House has again provided the brave men and women of law enforcement with critical tools in their efforts to combat terrorism and protect the American people. Given the strong bipartisan support reflected in today’s vote, I look forward with great optimism to the Senate’s consideration of the USA PATRIOT Act and its ultimate renewal.” In the Sunday, July 31st edition of The El Paso Times (TX), U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton for the Western District of Texas praises the USA PATRIOT Act as an important tool that gives law enforcement the "ability to preserve and protect our nation's liberty in the face of continuing terrorist threats." "Like all Americans, I hold dear our freedom from unwanted government intrusion into our private lives. As a people, we have always recognized that greater freedom may be accompanied by somewhat diminished security. As recent events have shown, terrorism poses a serious threat to both our security and freedom.

     Extractions: Statements and Policies ... Intellectual Freedom Intellectual Freedom Issues USA PATRIOT Act and Intellectual Freedom Go Directly to ALA OIF Resources On the final day before its summer recess, the Senate Friday unanimously approved a bill that adds to the USA PATRIOT Act many of the safeguards for reader privacy that have been sought by the book and library community since the passage of the law in 2001, including tougher requirements for searching bookstore and library records under Section 215. The vote was a surprise, coming just one week after the Senate Judiciary Committee passed the bill, S. 1389. Critics of the PATRIOT Act welcomed the passage of S. 1389, which they like much better than a companion bill approved by the House on July 21. The House legislation, which like the Senate bill re-authorizes expiring sections of the PATRIOT Act, allows the FBI to search the bookstore and library records of anyone, including people who are not suspected of a crime, whenever they are "relevant" to a counter-terrorism or counter-espionage investigation. The Senate bill limits searches to the records of people who are suspected terrorists or spies and people who are in contact with them, reducing the danger that that the FBI will engage in fishing expeditions in bookstore and library records. S. 1389 provides several other important safeguards: it gives the recipient of a Section 215 order the right to consult an attorney and to challenge the order in the secret court established by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA); it requires an FBI agent to obtain written approval from the FBI director or deputy director before applying to the FISA court for a search order for bookstore and library records, and the Justice Department must publicly reveal each year the number of Section 215 orders issued to bookstores and libraries. S. 1389 also provides that Section 215 will expire at the end of 2009.

     Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... A > Act of Settlement (Irish) A B C D ... Z In 1662 an act was passed by the Irish Parliament, the privileges of which were restored on the return of Charles II, entitled "an act for the better execution of his majesty's gracious declaration for the Settlement of his Kingdom of Ireland, and the satisfaction of the several interests of adventurers, soldiers, and other his subjects there". To understand the provisions of this complicated Act, and the Act of Explanation of it (1664), it is necessary to recall that during the time of Cromwell English adventurers, as they were styled, advanced money for the war, and the soldiers engaged in it had large sums due to them for arrears of pay. To meet these demands, extirpate Papacy, and establish a Protestant Protestants , however, whose estates had been given to adventurers or soldiers, were to be at once restored, unless they had been in rebellion before the cessation (truce) of 1643, or had taken out orders for lands in Connaught or Clare, and the adventurers or soldiers displaced were to be reprised, i.e. get other lands instead. The Catholics were divided into "innocent" and "nocent". No one was to be esteemed "innocent" who, before the cessation of 15 September, 1643, was of the rebels' party, or who enjoyed his estate in the rebels' quarters, except in Cork and Youghal, where the inhabitants were driven into them by force; or
