Arlen Specter: “without getting into methamphetamine, where we have accommodated the interests of the Senator from Oregon and other…”

On the recordDecember 15, 2005
without getting into methamphetamine, where we have accommodated the interests of the Senator from Oregon and other Senators by putting them on this bill because it is a measure which ought to proceed, let me ask the Senator from Oregon, when he complains about the national security letters, I ask whether the conference report is not a big step over existing law? National security letters have been in existence for decades.
