WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Jerrold Nadler introduced a resolution yesterday encouraging educators and publishers to modernize the Russian history taught in America’s public schools.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) and Congressman Bernie Sanders (I-VT) today demanded that the leaders of the PATRIOT Act conference committee not subvert the democratic process by ignoring unanimous votes in both the House and the Senate calling for four-year sunsets in the PATRIOT Act.

The House-passed version called for 10-year sunsets, but the House later unanimously passed a resolution calling on conference committee members to adopt the four-year sunsets included in the Senate version. As highly secretive conference negotiations wrap up, however, it appears the final version of the bill will include seven-year sunsets, not the four-year measures asked for by majorities in both bodies.
