And the bill John Ashcroft sent up was my bill."〔http://killfile.newsvine.com/_news/2008/08/25/1783040-in-1995-joe-biden-basically-wrote-the-patriot-act-〕 ==See also== *Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Omnibus Counterterrorism Act of 1995」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
