Drafts Sweeping Expansion of Anti-Terrorism Act (WASHINGTON, Feb. 7, 2003) -- The Bush Administration is preparing a bold, comprehensive sequel to the USA Patriot Act that will give the government broad, sweeping new powers to increase domestic intelligence-gathering, surveillance and law enforcement prerogatives, and simultaneously decrease judicial review and public access to information. The Center for Public Integrity has obtained a draft, dated January 9, 2003, of this previously undisclosed legislation and is making it available in full text. The bill, drafted by the staff of Attorney General John Ashcroft and entitled the Domestic Security Enhancement Act of 2003, has not been officially released by the Department of Justice, although rumors of its development have circulated around the Capitol.>> Draft (12 MB PDF) http://www.publicintegrity.org/dtaweb/downloads/Story_01_020703_Doc_2.pdf C -------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Hoofnagle, Deputy Counsel +1.202.483.1140 (tel) Electronic Privacy Information Center +1.202.483.1248 (fax) 1718 Connecticut Ave., NW Suite 200 hoofnagle () epic org Washington, DC 20009 USA http://www.epic.org/ http://www.privacy.org/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ End of Forwarded Message ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as interesting-people () lists elistx com To unsubscribe or update your address, click http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
