"I supported the anti-terrorism legislation today, not because I thought it to be a perfect bill or that it may have prevented the attacks of September 11th. Rather, I supported the legislation because it is a necessary step to take at this time,and it is an appropriate compromise reached between many competing interests. I'm not happy with every provision in the bill, nor will I relent in my defense of our civil liberties in the coming days, but this represents a meaningful step to prevent future terrorist attacks. As America sets-out to find those responsible for the acts of war perpetrated on us, my determination to accomplish this goal will be matched only by my continued determination to protect the Bill of Rights." Barr, a former federal prosecutor, represents Georgia's Seventh District. He serves on the House Financial Services, Judiciary, and Government Reform Committees. --30--
