From The Wichita Eagle, Feb. 11, 2006:
Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Legislation to renew the Patriot Act was cleared for final congressional passage Friday when House Speaker Dennis Hastert blessed a day-old compromise between the White House and Senate Republicans.
Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid also indicated that he will vote for the bill when it comes to a vote, possibly next week.
The legislation gives federal agents expanded powers to investigate suspected terrorists in the United States, and the Bush administration has said it is one of its key weapons in the war on terror.
"I think they (the changes in the bill) were enough to make sure we can protect the American people," Hastert told reporters at Cambridge, Md., speaking of three revisions that the White House and Senate GOP holdouts announced Thursday.”
