Whenever we grant powers to the executive branch of government, we must incorporate proper safeguards to protect individual rights.

We should strive never to let our fears lead us to over reaction.

But we strongly believe we need to protect the liberties of Americans.

Let me be clear. The Liberty and Security Committee believes that the FBI should have the tools necessary to protect our citizens.

We believe the business records or library records provision provides largely unchecked powers.
