[Congressional Record Volume 157, Number 77 (Wednesday, June 1, 2011)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E1009] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] PERSONAL EXPLANATION _____ HON. GEORGE MILLER of california in the house of representatives Wednesday, June 1, 2011 Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, I was unable to be present for the vote on May 26, 2011, to temporarily reauthorize expiring provisions of the Patriot Act. Had I been present I would have voted against S. 990, the legislative vehicle for the PATRIOT Act, because I believe that law fails to provide for the adequate protection of our freedoms and liberties. ____________________
