House Resolution 3162, The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (USA PATRIOT Act), was introduced on 10/23/2001 and passed on 10/26/2001, becoming Public Law No: 107-56. Largely in response to the events of 9/11/2001, it is designed to "deter and punish terrorist acts in the United States and around the world, to enhance law enforcement investigatory tools, and for other purposes." The law amended over 15 federal statutes, including the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and other statutes that govern criminal procedure, computer fraud and abuse, foreign intelligence, wiretapping, immigration, and the privacy of student records.
