The Bush Administration
is preparing a bold, comprehensive sequel to the USA Patriot Act
passed in the wake of September 11, 2001, which will give the

intelligence-gathering, surveillance and law enforcement
prerogatives, and simultaneously decrease judicial review and public
access to information.

2003, of this previously undisclosed legislation and is making it
available in full text (12 MB).
