mr. smith: mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. smith: mr. speaker, since its enactment in 2001, the patriot act has been the object of so maun false allegations and exaggerations that the myths have overshadowed the truth. it's time to dispel the myths once and for all. let's begin with the myth that national security officials do not need these provisions to protect us from terrorist attacks. this is demonstrably untrue. numerous terrorist attempts in the last 10 years have been thwarted thanks to the intelligence gathering tools provided in the patriot act and other national security laws. fand congress fails to extend these provisions, set to expire on february 28, if will be on our shoulders if the need to stop the next attack is not collected. opponents claim that the expiring provisions of the patriot act violate the fourth amendment to the constitution. this too is false. each of the provisions at issue amends the f

mr. smith. mr. smith: thank you, madam speaker. i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. smith: two years ago and two years into the current administration washington policies have not rescued our economy from crisis. in fact, they have intredged the crisis. -- entrenched the crisis. american workers pay the price as regulations stifle job creation and slow economic recovery. the judiciary committee doesn't have jurisdiction over sweeping economic changes but it does have jurisdiction over something that sweeps with just as much force, that is the administrative law about how agencies must respond to congress and what agencies must consider before they rule at all. we reassert authority over the most burdensome regulations our agencies churn out. these are major regulations, those that impose a burden of $100 million or more on our economy. . it requires congress not an unelected agency head to decide whether regulations with massive c

mr. smith: mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. smith: mr. speaker, next september 11 will mark the 10-year anniversary of the worst terrorist attack on the u.s. in history. america is fortunate not to have suffered another attack of such magnitude in the past decade but we must not take this relatively secure country for granted or let our safety become complay seasoncy. america is safe today not because terrorists an spies have given up their goal to destroy our freedoms and way of life. we are safe today because the men and women of our armed forces, our intelligence community and our law enforcement agency work every single day to protect us. congress must ensure that they are equipped with the resources they need to counteract continuing terrorist threats. on freb 28, three important provisions of the u.s.a. patriot act will expire. these provisions given investigators in national security cases the authority to conduc
