| 2005-12-31 |
| CRAWFORD, Texas - US President George W. Bush signed a one-month extension of the Patriot Act on Friday, but remains committed to a permanent renewal of the disputed anti-terrorist legislation, his spokesman said. Bush, who is spending the Christmas holiday period at his vacation ranch in Crawford, Texas, signed the extension up to February 3 while approving a number of other bills submitted by Congress. However, the president âis not satisfied with the one-month extension,â said deputy White House spokesman Trent Duffy. âHe wants to have the Patriot Act permanently re-authorized,â Duffy added. âIt is a vital tool for protecting the American people.â |
