  "The PATRIOT Act: Keep It, Change It, or Toss It?"   
This roundtable on the PATRIOT Act will zero in on the issues that are likely to generate the most debate in Congress during the pending reauthorization debate. We will ask about the Act's surveillance provisions--the so-called "sneak and peak" warrants that allow law enforcement to search homes without advance notice; the sharing of information between law enforcement and intelligence agencies; warrants for information held by third parties, such as library records; and the prohibition on third parties from disclosing that they have turned over information to the authorities. We will also examine the proposed SAFE Act, which would put limits on those provisions.
