ALA president releases statement regarding USA PATRIOT Act Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing
http://www.ala.org/ala/pressreleases2005/april2005/pahstatement.htm

"The American Library Association (ALA) is deeply concerned about statements made before the Senate Judiciary Committee by FBI Director Robert Mueller during hearings on the USA PATRIOT Act.  Director Mueller informed committee members he did not know of any written laws that protect the privacy of library records, and agreed with statements made by Senator Sessions (R-AL) that the privacy of an individual's library records should not be given special protection under the law."
