Washington, D.C., October 9, 2009 - The Senate Judiciary Committee,
yesterday approved the USA PATRIOT Act Extension Act of 2009 (S.1692)

provisions within the Patriot Act until 2013. The provisions allow law

identify suspects by name, search an individual’s personal
and business records with reduced judicial oversight, and investigate
suspects without having to first prove any link between them and a
terrorist organization.
