>In This Issue: URGENT: Please Call Senators Today About Kyl Amendment
>
>Please call your Senators TODAY and ask that they oppose the Kyl
>amendment to S. 2845, the "National Intelligence Reform Act of 2004."
>
>Senators Durbin (D-IL) and Craig (R-ID) are leading the opposition to
>the Kyl amendment, which contains the largest expansion of federal
>powers since the USA PATRIOT Act, with the most serious consequences for
>civil liberties that have been proposed since the demise of the
>much-maligned "Domestic Security Enhancement Act," also known as PATRIOT
>Act II.
>
>The issues proposed in the Kyl amendment go outside the scope of the
>9/11 Commission's recommendations and should be debated next year during
>the debate on the PATRIOT Act. S. 2845 is too important to be bogged
>down with contentious amendments.
>
>If passed, the bill would weaken the public's right to privacy in their
>library, medical and other personal records by eliminating the already
>inadequate safeguard in the USA PATRIOT Act of an order by a secret
>court.
