at any rate, my point is the patriot act is a valuable tool. those who spoke on the other side are right that we need it, but we have enough knowledge in this house to tweak it to be much more fair to innocent americans who have inadvertently been caught up in its web. that's point one. number two, let me mention that under intelligence reform, the intelligence reform act of 2004, we provided that the white house would name members to a privacy and civil liberties commission that would oversee the development and implementation of many of the laws that we now have on the books with respect to catching terrorists. that commission was never fully implemented in the last administration and this administration has yet to name a chairman and a vice chairman for the commission. i would call on the president again to fully implement the provisions of the 2004 intelligence reform act, standing up that commission would send a message that i'm trying to send with my remarks on the patriot act too that we can do both. we can protect our security but we ca
