      "title": "Terrorism Legislation: Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act of 2001",
      "summary": "On Thursday, October 25, 2001, the Senate approved House-passed  H.R. 3162 , the\nUniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and\nObstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act which bolsters the ability of federal authorities to conduct\ncriminal and intelligence investigations, to bar and expel foreign terrorists from the United States,\nto separate terrorists from their sources of financial support, to punish acts of terrorism, and to\naddress the needs of the direct victims of the events of September 11. The Act is a merger of two\nbills,  S. 1510 , and  H.R. 2975 / H.R. 3108  which had earlier\npassed in their respective Houses. It melds the money laundering aspects of  S. 1510 \nwith those of the free standing, House-passed money laundering bill,  H.R. 3004 . A\nvariant of the House sunset provision survives, but adjustments to the McDade-Murtha Amendment\nconcerning the adherence of federal prosecutors to local ethical standards do not. Detention\nauthority over immigrants suspected of terrorist connections remains; as do the benefits to\nimmigrants victimized by the events of September 11. The President signed the bill on Friday,\nOctober 26.",
