                        Wednesday, June 1, 2011

  Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, I was unable to be 
present for the vote on May 26, 2011, to temporarily reauthorize 
expiring provisions of the Patriot Act. Had I been present I would have 
voted against S. 990, the legislative vehicle for the PATRIOT Act, 
because I believe that law fails to provide for the adequate protection 
of our freedoms and liberties.
