                      PATRIOT ACT TOO RESTRICTIVE

  (Mr. DAVIS of Illinois asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Later on this week, we are going to be 
considering the conference report on the PATRIOT Act. While I recognize 
that there has been some movement relative to some of the provisions 
that I found to be too onerous, I am afraid that it has not been 
changed enough to my liking, and so I simply serve notice that I think 
it is still too restrictive, it is still too oppressive, it does not 
speak to the kind of patriotism that I believe in; therefore, I shall 
be voting against it.
