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. ____________________
