>In This Issue: Sanders Amendment Passes: Library Patrons Again Free to
>Read!
>
>Last night, in a stunning 238-187 victory (votes below, at the bottom of
>this message), Rep. Bernie Sanders' (I-VT) amendment to the House
>Science-State-Justice Subcommittee (SSJC) appropriations bill passed.
>The appropriations bill funds the Justice Department and Sanders'
>amendment bars the Department from using any of the appropriated money
>to search library and bookstore records under Section 215 of the USA
>PATRIOT Act.
>
>Action Needed!
>The Representatives who voted for the bill are listed below. If your
>Representative is on the list, please take a moment today to thank him
>or her for their efforts to protect the rights of library users and
>bookstore patrons. Please also take a moment today to thank
>Representative Sanders, who continues to be a true champion for library
>user rights. You can find contact information and send e-mails directly
>to your members of Congress through the Legislative Action Center at:
>http://capwiz.com/ala/home/.
>
>Background:
>Like the Freedom to Read Protection Act (H.R. 1157) also sponsored by
>Congressman Sanders, the Sanders Freedom to Read Amendment restores
>legal standards and warrant procedures for investigations of library and
>bookstore records that were in place before passage of the USA PATRIOT
>Act. The text of the amendment reads, "None of the funds made available
>in this Act may be used to make an application under section 501 of the
>Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (50 U.S.C. 1861) for an
>order requiring the production of library circulation records, library
>patron lists, book sales records, or book customer lists."
>
>Section 215 of the USA PATRIOT Act dramatically expanded the scope of
>materials the FBI can access with a warrant from the government's secret
>Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act or "FISA" court. This section
>gives the FBI the power to search for any "tangible things (including
>books, records, papers, documents, and other items)" in any location
>without having to name the subject of the search, permitting "fishing
>expeditions" in library records. Millions of people across the country,
>including librarians and booksellers, are concerned about the chilling
>effect of this legislation, which encourages users to self-censor their
>reading choices. Seven state legislatures, 44 state library
>associations, and 381 cities and towns representing nearly 62 million
>people have passed resolutions expressing their concerns with Section
>215 and other specific provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act.
