On Friday the House and Senate both completed their mark ups of PATRIOT Act
reauthorization bills. Here’s a quick update from the Center for Democracy
and Technology:

*Congress Rejects PATRIOT Act Re-Write, but Modest Improvements Still
Possible*<http://www.cdt.org/policy/congress-rejects-patriot-act-re-write-modest-improvements-still-possible>

1)    House and Senate Committees Renew PATRIOT with Mostly Minor Changes
2)    The Risks of National Security Letters
3)    House Bill Offers More Significant Change to NSL Authority
4)    Obama Administration Uses Secret Briefings to Resist Strong Standards
for FBI Investigations
