PATRIOT ACT TOO RESTRICTIVE -- (House of Representatives - December 13, 2005)
(Mr. DAVIS of Illinois asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Later on this week, we are going to be considering the conference report on the PATRIOT Act. While I recognize that there has been some movement relative to some of the provisions that I found to be too onerous, I am afraid that it has not been changed enough to my liking, and so I simply serve notice that I think it is still too restrictive, it is still too oppressive, it does not speak to the kind of patriotism that I believe in; therefore, I shall be voting against it.
