(COMTEX) B: Senate Gives FBI More Patriot Act Power ( AP Online )

WASHINGTON, Jun 07, 2005 (AP Online via COMTEX) -- The FBI would get expanded
powers to subpoena records without the approval of a judge or grand jury in
terrorism investigations under Patriot Act revisions approved Tuesday by the
Senate Intelligence Committee.

Some senators who voted 11-4 to move the bill forward said they would push for
limits on the new powers the measure would grant to law enforcement agencies.

"This bill must be amended on the floor to protect national security while
protecting Constitutional rights," said Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md.

Ranking Democrat Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., supported the bill overall but said
he would push for limits that would allow such administrative subpoenas "only if
immediacy dictates."

Rockefeller and other committee members, such as Sen. Dianne Feinstein,
D-Calif., also are concerned that the bill would grant powers to federal law
enforcement agencies that could be used in criminal inquiries rather than
intelligence-gathering ones.

Committee Chairman Pat Roberts, R-Kan., said the bill places new checks and
balances on the powers it would grant, such as new procedures that would allow
people to challenge such administrative orders. He called the Patriot Act "a
vital tool in the war on terror" and lauded the Democrats who voted for it in
spite of misgivings.

Portions of the Patriot Act - signed into law six weeks after the Sept. 11
attacks - are set to expire at the end of 2005. The bill would renew and expand
the act.

The bill also must be considered by the Senate Judiciary Committee, where
Feinstein and other Democrats planned to again offer amendments.

Overall, Rockefeller said, the committee gave a nod to most of the Patriot Act
in its first few years fighting the nation's new enemies.

"We concluded that these tools have helped keep America safe ... and should be
made permanent," Rockefeller said in a statement.

Still, civil libertarians panned the bill and the closed-door meetings in which
it was written.

"When lawmakers seek to rewrite our Fourth Amendment rights, they should at
least have the gumption to do so in public," said Lisa Graves, the ACLU's senior
counsel for legislative strategy. "Americans have a reasonable expectation that
their federal government will not gather records about their health, their
wealth and the transactions of their daily life without probable cause of a
crime and without a court order."
