THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2001 By a vote of 356 to 66, the House on Wednesday passed a bill that expands police powers to investigate terrorist suspects. The bill was passed after conflicts had been resolved with the Senate version. House leaders insisted on having a "sunset" clause, so the bill expires after four years. The bill makes it easier to conduct electronic surveillance on suspected terrorists. It also allows authorities to detain immigrants but they must be released or charged with a crime after seven days. The Senate is expected to pass the bill and then it will be sent to President Bush for his signature. Get the Story:
