SLA Responds to Ashcroft's Remarks on Librarians <http://www.sla.org/content/memberservice/communication/pr/pressrelease/2329 .cfm> The Special Libraries Association (SLA) has sent a letter to Attorney General John Ashcroft objecting to disparaging remarks he made about librarians during a presentation to the National Restaurant Association. The Attorney General stated that librarians were being misled about the U.S. Patriot Act by "breathless reports and baseless hysteria" from groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). 2.
