On behalf of the American Civil Liberties Union, a non-partisan organization with hundreds of thousands of activists and members and 53 affiliates nationwide, we write to express our opposition to Senate Amendment 312 (“S. Amdt. 312) filed by Senator Cornyn to S. 4, the Improving America's Security by Implementing Unfinished Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007. S. Amdt. 312 bundles four injudicious proposals that the 9/11 Commission never recommended and, therefore, these amendments should not be added to this bill.
